Installation instructions

EasyScan_HEP is a Python3 code with dependencies on numpy, scipy and ConfigParser libraries. The optional plot functions and MultiNest sampler further require matplotlib, pandas and pymultinest libraries. The dependencies can be installed via pip:

sudo apt install python3-pip python3-tk

pip3 install numpy scipy matplotlib ConfigParser pandas pymultinest

The "easyscan.py" in folder "bin" is the main program, which is executed with configuration file through the command line,

./bin/easyscan.py templates/example_random.ini

Here example_random.ini is an example configuration file provided in EasyScan_HEP. It performs a scan on a simplified model, :：

f(x,y) = sin^2 x + cos^2 y,

using random sampler, where x and y are input parameters in range [0,pi] and [-pi,pi], respectively, and f is output parameter.

Three other example configuration files in templates folder (example_grid.ini, example_mcmc.ini and example_multinest.ini) exhibit briefly usages of other samplers in EasyScan_HEP.

Configuration file templates/scan_MSSM_for_mW.ini is an simply physical examples. Relevant programs need to be installed beforehand, using

cd utils/MSSM_mW
make

and then it can be executed with

./bin/easyscan.py templates/scan_MSSM_for_mW.ini
