Welcome to the WHIZARD Wiki

The long awaited release of version 2 of WHIZARD was unleashed on Monday, April 12th, 2010 ...

Getting Started

Examples

Here's a list of simple, but complete physics applications that can get you started immediately. Just run

   whizard -r example.sin

after compiling and installing WHIZARD.

• Angular correlations in SUSY cascade decays at LHC
• W endpoint at the LHC
• Z' search at LHC
• Z lineshape at LEP1
• WW pairs at LEP2

Caveat: most of these examples are distributed with very minor variations in the directory share/examples and installed in .../share/whizard/examples/.

(Uncommon) Build Problems

Here's a list of not so common problems that you might encounter when building WHIZARD that didn't make it into the 2.0.0 release INSTALL file. See here the most recent INSTALL file​.

When you compile with the NAG 5.2 Fortran 2003 Compiler and encounter the following problem:

Panic: ../../../../src/omega/tests/omega_interface.f90: Unexpected cdtype (0) in upsinfo_cdtype
Internal Error -- please report this bug
Abort

then you probably compiled with a -g flag. Please note the following ​remark on NAG compilers.
