Code restructuring

 - ongoing, in next meeting report

 

PROPOSAL

 - ongoing, a report in one of the next meetings. Question about interface changes. This we have to closely follow up. But we should continue development and not wait.

 

Tau decays

 - Remy is working on interface, will provide MR.

 

Pythia8 decays

 - in C7, Pythia6 does decays in CM frame. Then boost.

 - change P8 interface

 - maybe define wrapper, Hans

 - Anatoli also used CM frame at high statistics

 

SIBYLL decays

 - when all particles returned to C8 stack and decayed with P8

 - P8 is required to run in less-safe mode. Particles sometimes are too much off-shell, etc.

 - With P8 decays: particle numbers drop by ~5% !

 - Test: switch back from P8 decays to Sibyll to check if original situation is restored.

 

SIBYLL version number

 -    sibyll2.3c  -->  sibyll2.3d
