Installation guide to HiggsPt version 1.2

The program HiggsPt (and HiggsPt_R) is written in C++. It uses the LHAPDF package, in addition to 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).

Before you can install gamma2MC, you will need a working installation of the LHAPDF package. It can be downloaded from http://projects.hepforge.org/lhapdf/. Make sure that the path to its executables (in particular lhapdf-config) is in the system $PATH.

To install the programs HiggsPt and HiggsPt_R:

  1. Download the source file HiggsPt_1.2.tar.gz. Unpack it by typing on the command line:
    gunzip HiggsPt_1.2.tar.gz
    tar -xvf HiggsPt_1.2.tar
  2. Now change directories by typing
    cd HiggsPt_1.2
    There are four directories here: "bin", "Cincludes", "info", and "src", as well as a Makefile. Just type on the command line
    make install
    This compiles the utility subroutines in the directory "Cincludes" and the main subroutines in "src", which are linked to create the executables "HiggsPt" and "HiggsPt_R", which are put in the directory "bin".
    You're done with the installation!
  3. To run the programs, change directories by typing
    cd bin.
    To run the program "HiggsPt", just modify the input file "HiggsPt.indat" 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" 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.
