HepML, an XML-based format for describing simulated data in high energy physics

Understand

In this paper we describe a HepML format and a corresponding C++ library developed for keeping complete description of parton level events in a unified and flexible form.

• HepML tags contain enough information to understand what kind of physics the simulated events describe and how the events have been prepared.
• A HepML block can be included into event files in the LHEF format.
• The structure of the HepML block is described by means of several XML Schemas.
