SANCscope—v.1.00

Abstract

In this article we have summarized the status of the system SANC version 1.00. We have implemented theoretical predictions for many high energy interactions of fundamental particles at the one-loop precision level for up to 4-particle processes. In the present part of our SANC description we place emphasis on an extensive discussion of an important first step of calculations of the one-loop amplitudes of 3- and 4-particle processes in QED, QCD and EW theories. Program summary Title of program: SANC Catalogue identifier: ADXK_v1_0 Program summary URL: http://cpc.cs.qub.ac.uk/summaries/ADXK_v1_0 Program obtainable from: CPC Program Library, Queen's University of Belfast, N. Ireland Designed for: platforms on which Java and FORM3 are available Tested on: Intel-based PC's Operating systems: Linux, Windows Programming languages used: Java, FORM3, PERL, FORTRAN Memory required to execute with typical data: 10 Mb No. of bytes in distributed program, including test data, etc.: 3 658 844 No. of bits in a word: 32 No. of processors used: 1 on SANC server, 1 on SANC client Distribution format: tar.gz Nature of physical problem: Automatic calculation of pseudo- and realistic observables for various processes and decays in the Standard Model of Electroweak interactions, QCD and QED at one-loop precision level. Form factors and helicity amplitudes free of UV divergences are produced. For exclusion of IR singularities the soft photon emission is included. Method of solution: Numerical computation of analytical formulae of form factors and helicity amplitudes. For simulation of two fermion radiative decays of Standard Model bosons ( W ± , Z ) and the Higgs boson a Monte Carlo technique is used. Restrictions on the complexity: In the current version of SANC there are 3 and 4 particle processes and decays available at one-loop precision level. Typical running time: The running time depends on the selected process. For instance, the symbolic calculation of form factors (with precomputed building blocks) of Bhabha scattering in the Standard Model takes about 15 s, helicity amplitudes—about 30 s, and bremsstrahlung—10 s. The numerical computation of cross-section for this process takes about 5 s (CPU 3 GHz IP4, RAM 512 Mb, L2 1024 KB).
