Installation guide to HiggsPt version 1.1

The program HiggsPt (and HiggsPt_R) is written in C++. It is completely self-contained, using only the standard C++ library. It has been tested on RedHat Linux (kernel release 2.6.9-55.ELsmp), and compiled with the g++ and f77 compilers (version 3.4.6).

To install the programs HiggsPt and HiggsPt_R:

  1. Download the source file HiggsPt_1.1.tar.gz. Unpack it by typing on the command line:
    gunzip HiggsPt_1.1.tar.gz
    tar -xvf HiggsPt_1.1.tar
  2. Now change directories by typing
    cd HiggsPt_1.1
    There are three directories here: "Cincludes", "main", and "PDFs". The directory "main" is the main program directory, where all the action takes place. Go to this directory by
    cd main
  3. Next type on the command line
    make HiggsPt_complete
    This compiles all subroutines needed for PDFs in the directory "PDFs", all utility subroutines in the directory "Cincludes", and all routines in the directory "main". Then it links and creates the two executables "HiggsPt" and "HiggsPt_R".
    You're done with the installation!
  4. To run the program "HiggsPt", just modify the input file "HiggsPt.indat" (in the directory "main") as desired, then type on the command line
    HiggsPt
    To run the program "HiggsPt_R", just modify the input file "HiggsPt_R.indat" and the three grid files "q_grid_h0.inp", "y_grid_h0.inp", and "qt_grid_h0.inp" (in the directory "main") as desired, then type on the command line
    HiggsPt_R
    Thats all!
Please read the HiggsPt guide for information on the inputs in the file "HiggsPt.indat" or the HiggsPt_R guide for information on the inputs in the file "HiggsPt_R.indat", as well as the format for the grid files.
