Mu2e External Products

This page describes the management of external products that became current with the switch to art in May 2011. You can also find information about the old system for managing external products.

Mu2e External Products

• art plus the products on which it depends:
  • fhicl-cpp
  • MessageFacility
  • cetlib
  • cpp0x
• ROOT: Home Page ,  Reference Guide for version 5.28.
  Mu2e stores event data in ROOT's file format. ROOT can also be used for browsing data, making histograms and other sorts of plots. ROOT is also intimately coupled to the framework and the choice of which vesion of root to use is made by the framework.
• Geant4 (G4): Home Page,  G4 at Fermilab,  Doxygen for version 9.4 p01,   LXR code browser.
• CLHEP: Home Page,  Documentation.
  CLHEP is a set of useful class libraries for High Energy Physics. Mu2e uses the Vector, Matrix and Random packages. We will certainly use more in the future.
• Boost: Home Page ,  Documentation for version 1.47.0.
  Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. They do a variety of useful things and some of the libraries are being "groomed" for inclusion in future standards. Mu2e uses several of these inside the framework. For example the Handle class, used to get information from the event, uses one of boost safe pointer classes.
• scons
• cppunit
• sigc++-2.0
• HEPPDT and HEPPID
