Computational particle physics refers to the methods and computing tools developed in and used by particle physics research. Like computational chemistry or computational biology, it is, for particle physics both a specific branch and an interdisciplinary field relying on computer science, theoretical and experimental particle physics and mathematics.
The main fields of computational particle physics are:
Computing tools
- Computer algebra: Many of the computer algebra languages were developed initially to help particle physics calculations: Reduce, Mathematica, Schoonschip, Form (computer algebra system), GiNaC [1] .
- Data Grid: The largest planned use of the GRID systems will be for the analysis of the LHC - produced data. Large software packages have been developed to support this application like the LHC Computing Grid (LCG).
- Data Analysis Tools: These tools are motivated by the fact that particle physics experiments and simulations often create large datasets. Examples include ROOT, Java Analysis Studio and jHepWork.
- Software Libraries
