Summer Students 2008

Andrea Peterson

I spent nine weeks working at the IPPP through Harvard University's Center for European Studies. My task was to develop user tutorials for the SHERPA event generator. At the beginning of the summer, I familiarized myself with SHERPA by running simulations of a number of processes. Afterwards, I worked through an existing tutorial, updating the results along the way. By the end of the summer, I had developed, executed, and written up my own tutorial, which will be posted on the SHERPA website.

Here's the Sherpa tutorial on anomalous gauge couplings at the Tevatron that Andrea has prepared.
