MINOS code management

The MINOS code repository at Indiana

List of the modules defined in the MINOS repository

Any of the defined modules may be checked out from the repository. Just follow the sequence of instructions detailed in the link below called "How to get GMINOS", substituting the name of the desired module in place of `gminos'.

Major program components of the MINOS simulations package

• GMINOS - GEANT-based detector simulation

  Instructions for building two GMINOS executables, a batch version and an interactive version with event display, are included in the README file that comes along with the `gminos' module.

  How to get GMINOS

• NEUGEN

  The NEUGEN neutrino interaction event generator is available as a stand-alone program, and has now also been interfaced with GMINOS to serve as one of the possible modes of event generation.

  Original announcement of NEUGEN's availability

• STDHEP and LUND library routines

  The source code and Makefiles necessary to construct the STDHEP and LUND libraries needed by GMINOS are available as the `misc' module.

• OSCNU - neutrino oscillation probabilities

  The source code, Makefile, and author's documentation for three- generation neutrino oscillation probabilities computation is contained in the `mixing' module. Executing the Makefile produces a library file, `liboscnu.a', which can be linked with GMINOS or with a post-GMINOS analysis program.

  Author's notes on OSCNU code

• RECO_MINOS - analysis program shell for using GMINOS output

  The `reco_minos' program reads in ADAMO gaf files produced by GMINOS. Actual analysis routines must be supplied by the user.
