Ploughshare

for all your interpolation grid needs

Ploughshare allows users from the HEP community to share fast interpolation grids in a standardised way
PDF fitters and those from the experimental collaborations are able to upload their validated grids and access the grids of others quickly and with minimal fuss

What is Ploughshare ?

  1. Quick to use - a web based utility for the automated distribution of fast inperpolation grids for the high energy physcis community.
  2. Secure storage - registered users can upload grid files and corresponding standard format configuration files to describe the grids and physics processes of interest. These are added to a central, searchable repository.
  3. Automatic distribution - a standard utility library is provided to download any required grids automatically in user code.

A utility for the community Ploughshare allows users to share their grids, so it is important that the provenance of the grids is guaranteed. This is achieved by allowing only registered users to upload their validated grids. Subsequently however, anyone is free to download and use the grids as they wish.

Ploughshare is an open source project.

Statistics for the submitted grids are collected and reported here

Breakdown by physics process

Statistics on the submitted grids are show here, broken down by number of grids by process, DIS, ep, heavy ion etc.

Eventually, it is hoped that this section will show a breakdown of the different grids submited for a number of differently configurable options
