Please note that Paul Kunz will be giving his very popular and highly recommended C++ course again on 22-26 July. The course is organised by the CERN Education Services, it costs 200 CHF, and advance registration is required. Anyone who wishes to enrol should follow the standard application procedure, i.e. fill in a CERN training application form, get it countersigned by their group leader and DTO (CERN personnel) or a budget holder and Margrit Burri the PPE DTO (non-CERN personnel registered with PPE) and send it to the Education Services. For people off-site who do not have access to these forms it is planned to introduce electronic registration. Details of how to proceed will be announced next week. Here is a description of the course. BaBar C++ Course The BaBar C++ course was developed for the BaBar collaboration. The course is designed for a target audience of particle physicists who are active in programming simulation, reconstruction, and/or analysis code. - Prerequisites The only prerequiest is experience in computer programming. In particular, no prior knowledge of the C language is needed. Programming experience entirely in Fortran is adequate. - Format The course consists of six lectures of about 1.5 hours each. However, it would be prudent to reserve a two hour time slot for each lecture. Some of the sessions will run over by 10-15 minutes if there are lots of questions during the lecture. A late afternoon informal discussion session will also be scheduled. Note that there will be two lectures on the first day. - Transparencies PostScript versions of the transparencies, printed two-up, are available from ftp://ftp.slac.stanford.edu/users/pfkeb/c++class/session0n.ps.Z or via AFS /afs/slac.stanford.edu/public/users/pfkeb/c++class/session0n.ps.Z where `n' is 1-6. There are 188 transparences all together. Note that an older version of the transparencies are available via the BaBar Web pages. These correspond to the first version of the course and the BaBar video tapes, but no longer correspond to the current version. - Content The course starts with the very basics and ends with sosphicated example of tracking code. The content of each lecture is roughly the following... o session 1: basic declarations, conditional structure, operators. o session 2: pointers and functions. o session 3: introduction to classes including operator overloading using 3-Vector from CLHEP as example. o session 4; more on classes with arrays and lists and including templates. o session 5: introduction to inheritance and complete physics analysis. o session 6: more on inheritance with polymorphic classes from Gismo. - Text book. The choosen text book is John J. Barton and Lee R. Nackman Scientific and Engineering C++ Addison-Wesley IBSN: 0-201-53393-6 This book is not always easy to find in local book stores. It has received good reviews and seems to be very popular. At least in the U.S., the publisher offers discount of 10% for government orders of 5-24 books and 22% for 25-49 books. About half the lectures follow examples from the text book, the other half uses examples of code written by particle physicists. - The World Wide Web pages for the text book are at http://www.research.ibm.com/ xw-SoftwareTechnology-books-SciEng-AboutSciEng.html - This course is not a "hands-on" style course. Only one practical exercise is suggested in the lectures. The students are expected to take their own intiatives in getting started. - by the end of the course, one should be able to read, in principle, any C++ code written for HEP. -- ######################################################################## # E-mail: Julius.Hrivnac@cern.ch # # WWW: http://www-hep.fzu.cz/~hrivnac/MyPage.html # # S-mail: PPE Division; bldg.602,R-018; CERN; 1211 Geneve; Switzerland # # voice: (022)-767-3170 # ########################################################################

Abstrakt prednasky prof. W. Wojcika konane 4.6.96 v 10 hod. v mistnost 117 ve FZU AV CR, Ne Slovance 2, P 8. UNIX services at CCIN2P3 (Batch and Interactive) Abstract: The IN2P3 Computing Center is now migrating from mainframe style to the UNIX distributed computing scheme. The different specialized 'clusters' have been created and are interconnected by ATM based LAN and AFS file system. The interactive service is organized in a multi-server mode in order to achive the best response time. The use of PIOFS (Parallel IO File System) is an essential feature of the PIAF system (PAW server). M.Bednar

Pozvanka na seminar teoretiku Sekce elementarnich castic FZU AV CR Prof. Jan Stern: Institute de Physique Nucleaire, Universite Paris-Sud, Orsay a Nuklearni centrum MFF UK, Praha O dulezitosti a problemech novych experimentu s PiPi-rozptylem pri nizkych energiich Presne petiprocentni mereni pipi- rozptylovych delek predstavuje nejlepsi a historicky prvni experimentalni test hypotezy, podle ktere je spontanni naruseni chiralni symetrie v QCD zpusobeno silnou kondenzaci kvark-antikvarkovych paru ve vakuu. Tato vseobecne rozsirena, lec vratka hypoteza silne podminuje nejen nase chapani neporuchove struktury QCD, ale tez i/ urceni hmot lehkych kvarku, ii/ interpretaci mereni epsilon'/epsilon a naruseni CP ve SM, iii/ urceni elementu CKM matice v B-rozpadech, a jine. Dva schvalene experimentalni projekty jsou v pripravne fazi: a/ Mereni doby zivota pi+pi- atomu v CERN a b/ Mereni rozpadu K+ na pi+pi-e+ a elektronove neutrino v ramci DAFNE /KHLOE ve Frascati. Teoreticka dulezitost techto experimentu je srovnatelna s dulezitosti Higgsova bosonu. Seminar se bude konat v pondeli 27. kvetna ve 14.30 hod., v mistnosti c. 117, v prvnim patre budovy FZU AV CR, Na Slovance 2, Praha 8. M.Bednar
