Lecture 1 (07/19/2007)
Tutorial on the MicrOMEGAs
program for calculating the relic density in a generic new physics model.
- Students are welcome to bring their laptops to class and follow the installation procedure and examples. Since the wireless access in the lecture hall is turned off, it is better to have the program source code micromegas_2.0.6.tgz preloaded on your laptop.
- A short writeup with installation instructions and some examples. Hard copies of these instructions will be printed out and made available before the lecture.
- For more details on the program, refer to the published manuals for
version 1.3 and
version 2.0.
- A Makefile which fixes the bug for the case of
nonsupersymmetric generic new models. Place it in the lib subdirectory of your new project directory.
- MicrOMEGAs makes use of the CalcHEP package,
which is similar to CompHEP.
To gain familiarity with CalcHEP/CompHEP, you may want to review the
homework from the Practicum on Simulations at PiTP 2005.
