About:
Heppdt2 provides a comprehensive translation system for particle identifiers between different Monte Carlo generators and the PDG standard. It serves as a crucial interoperability layer in high-energy physics data analysis workflows. The tool ensures consistent particle identification across diverse simulation frameworks and experimental data.
Key Features:
  • Bidirectional translation between MC generator IDs and PDG standard
  • Support for multiple Monte Carlo generator formats
  • Comprehensive particle database mapping
  • Command-line interface for batch processing
  • Library API for integration into analysis frameworks
Use Cases:
  • Converting particle IDs from legacy MC generators to PDG standard for unified analysis
  • Cross-referencing particle classifications between different simulation frameworks
  • Validating particle identification in multi-generator physics studies
  • Building standardized particle processing pipelines
Alternatives:
  • PDG Particle Data Group – Provides authoritative particle data but not translation services between MC formats
  • ROOT – General physics analysis framework with particle ID support but not specialized for MC generator translation
