Welcome to thdmTools¶
This is the documentation of thdmTools: a python package for the exploration of the CP-conserving 2 Higgs doublet model (2HDM) with softly-broken Z2 symmetry.
Authors¶
thdmTools is developed by Kateryna Radchenko,
María Olalla Olea Romacho and Thomas Biekötter.
Installation¶
The package and all its dependencies are installed by executing:
If you want to specify the compiler/python versions, you can set the environment variables, for instance, as follows:
The installation will take several minutes to complete. Most time is spent on the download and installation of the external programs:
- AnyHDecay: Calculation of decay widths
- HiggsTools: Test against collider constraints
- THDM_EWPOS: Calculation of W-boson mass and Z-boson decay widths
- SuperIso: Calculation of flavour-physics observables
If you have modified the python source files, you can reinstall the code without invoking reinstallation of the external codes (which takes time) by executing:
