professor

Professor is a MC tuning tool, based on the ideas described in "Tuning and Test of Fragmentation Models Based on Identified Particles and Precision Event Shape Data" (Z. Phys., C 73 (1996) 11-60) and earlier implemented and used by the Delphi collaboration.

The method and the original program were developed at the University of Wuppertal. Unfortunately the original Fortran code has grown in a historic way, depends on naglib for the singular value decomposition, uses hbook and zebra for all the I/O and doesn't run on current linux distributions anymore. So I decided to rewrite the program in python and to use the HepML format for data input. The name of the original program was professor: PROcedure For Estimating SyStematic errORs, and I kept it.

This project has been recently started. More information and a download area other that the subversion repository will be provided later. With any questions feel free to contact me.
