SUD: an advanced set-up descriptor for complex multi-TeV experiments

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

We have defined a new Entity-Relationship (ER) database, called SUD (Set-Up Descriptor), which contains all the information needed to describe any kind of High Energy Physics apparatus for Monte Carlo simulation and real data analysis. SUD has been implemented using the ADAMO database management system. Different programs can access the data and their mutual relationships in a user-friendly way, via standard FORTRAN calls. As an example of application, the database has been interfaced with the GEANT tracking program.
