HEPMath 1.4: A Mathematica Package for Semi-Automatic Computations in High Energy Physics

Understand

This article introduces the Mathematica package \emph{HEPMath} which provides a number of utilities and algorithms for High Energy Physics computations in Mathematica.

• Its functionality is similar to packages like FormCalc or FeynCalc, but it takes a more complete and extensible approach to implementing common High Energy Physics notations in the Mathematica language, in particular those related to tensors and index contractions.
• It also provides a more flexible method for the generation of numerical code which is based on new features for C code generation in Mathematica.
• In particular it can automatically generate Python extension modules which make the compiled functions callable from Python, thus eliminating the need to write any code in a low-level language like C or Fortran.
