NAME HEP::MCNS - converts HEP MC numbers into particle names and vice versa VERSION version 0.021 SYNOPSIS use HEP::MCNS qw(particle_name particle_code); my $electron_name = particle_name( 11 ); my $bzero_name = particle_name( 511 ); my $bplus_code = particle_code( 'B+' ); my $dstar_code = particle_code( 'D*0' ); DESCRIPTION The Monte Carlo Numbering Scheme assigns a unique identifier to each particle. This module converts those numbers into readable particle names and vice versa. If any number is missing/wrong, please file an issue. LaTeX output is planned but not yet implemented FUNCTIONS particle_name takes the Monte Carlo number as input and prints the particle name particle_code takes a particle name and returns the MC number code AUTHOR Philipp Hamer COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2015 by Philipp Hamer.
