User:Lborrel/sim Gen Template

Template for documenting a generator

The documentation should cover (when applicable):

• Channel description and its physics interest:

why we want to simulate this channel and its impact on possible Mu2e publications

• Existing measurements:

list of available measurements with references and comments

• Existing theoretical models:

commented list of references focusing on what is used in the code

• Simulation workflow:

description of stages, generator cuts, event weights, modules and fcl files

• Available datasets:

list of updated datasets (current and obsolete) with description

• Discussion of systematic uncertainties:

include uncertainties on the theoretical models or due to approximations implemented at the generation level (e.g. resampling)

• Requests to Simulation group:

keep track of requests from analysis groups

• List of on going activities:

who is doing what

• List of References:

list of relevant papers, internal notes, Thesis relevant for the channel simulation

• Contacts:

who to contact in case of need (they could redirect you to experts who contributed to the generator)
