[Rivet] Rivet validation effort and phone meetingsAndy Buckley andy.buckley at durham.ac.ukWed Sep 17 16:45:39 BST 2008
Hi everyone, Now that we've hopefully recovered from the MCnet meeting, it's time to concentrate on yet another Rivet version! One lesson learned from Debrecen is that quality control is necessary: systematically testing Rivet is no longer a luxury for "the release after next". In the next couple of months we need to get a testing infrastructure in place to ensure that a few key Rivet analyses work with several generators, and that we can regression test between different versions of generators and of Rivet itself. Frank Siegert will be helping us with this, which is particularly welcome as he has previous experience of setting up such a system for SHERPA, but we will need all core Rivetters to get involved to some extent. Now is also a good time to get back into the habit of regular phone meetings. In the past we held these meetings at ~4pm UK time on Mondays, at least every two weeks: is this still a reasonable time for the "core" Rivet people, i.e. James, Frank S. & Hendrik (and myself!)? Others are of course welcome, but let's not get overpopulated ;) Finally, of course we always want more useful tuning analyses, particularly anything that will tie down hadronisation, underlying event and perhaps forward physics. If you think you can help but need a prod in the right direction, let us know.
