= Welcome to the WHIZARD Wiki =

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

== Installation ==

Details about the WHIZARD 2 installation can be found [wiki:installation here.]

== 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.

 * [wiki:ExampleCascadeDecays Angular correlations in SUSY cascade decays at LHC]
 * [wiki:ExampleWendpoint W endpoint at the LHC]
 * [wiki:ExampleZprime Z' search at LHC]
 * [wiki:ExampleZlineshape Z lineshape at LEP1]
 * [wiki:ExampleCC10 W pairs at LEP2]
 * [wiki:ExampleLEPHiggs Higgs search at LEP2]
 * [wiki:ExampleEEWW W pairs with polarized beams at ILC]

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 ===

[wiki:BuildProblems Here]'s a [wiki:BuildProblems list of not so common problems] that you might encounter when building WHIZARD that didn't make it into the 2.0.0 release [source:tags/release_2.0.0/INSTALL INSTALL file]. See here the most recent [source:trunk/INSTALL 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 [http://projects.hepforge.org/whizard/compilers.html#NAG-note remark on NAG compilers].
