EOS is a software package that addresses several use cases in the field of high-energy flavor physics (HEP):
- calculation and uncertainty estimation of flavour observables within the Standard Model or within the Weak Effective Theory;
- Bayesian inference of parameters from both experimental and theoretical constraints; and
- Monte Carlo simulation of flavour processes.
An up-to-date list of High Energy Physics publications can be found here.
EOS is written in C++14, with an recommended interface to Python 3, and depends on as a small set of external software libraries:
- the GNU Scientific Library (libgsl),
- a subset of the BOOST C++ libraries,
- the Hierarchical Data Format v5 library (libdf5),
- the Population Monte Carlo (PMC) library pmclib (optional),
- the Python 3 interpreter.
For details on these dependencies we refer to the online documentation.
EOS supports several methods of installation. For Linux users, the recommended method
is installation via PyPI: pip3 install eoshep. For macOS users the documentation details
instructions to use the homebrew software repositories to install EOS and its dependencies.
For instructions on how to build and install EOS on your computer please have a look at the online documentation.
