TestPage

This page is a prototype of a glossary for Mu2e. The style of this page is taken from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Glossary.

Some questions:

1. Do we need a glossary. I say yes because too many simple things are, otherwise, never properly defined.
2. Who needs to be part of this discussion?
3. What is the scope of this document?
   1. Just computing terms and put the physics and detector terms elsewhere?
   2. Computing terms plus physics and detector terms that are encountered in day to day computing work? The prototype is written like this.
   3. Do we make it more inclusive?
4. Is this the right style? If not, what is.
5. Does a link to this page belong on: Main_Page? From Computing? Other?

This page is a glossary and acronym dictionary that covers the terms and acronyms that one will encounter when working with the Mu2e software. For acronyms specific to the Mu2e Construction Project, see MAD: The Mu2e Acronym Dictionary .

CLHEP

CLHEP: A Class Library for High Energy Physics is a 20+ year old class library that contains classes for 3-vectors, 4-vectors, Lorentz transformations, linear algebra, Random Number engines and Random Distributions. The GEANT4 simulation library makes extensive use of CLHEP. Early version of Mu2e reconstruction software also used CLHEP but this is being phased out in favor of the ROOT SMatrix package.
