The workshop is supposed to provide a training for the use of Whizard, a specific MC tool for e+e- machines. Graduate tudents, postdocs, and young faculty, who are interested in e+e- collider physics (Z factory/Higgs Factory/...) as well as pp collider physics, are welcomed to participate. 
 
The CHEP will provide a lunch box for every participant. 
 
Due to limited resources, the number of participants is controlled to be less than 25(Student from iSTEP is limited to 15). If you are interested in it, please send an email to lvlv to apply as early as possible. 
 
Some notes for Participants:
 
Participants should make sure to 
1) Have the 'virtualbox' package installed on their laptops. Please visit the web link https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads to download the virtualbox matched with the operating systems of your laptops. 
 
2) Please download the virtual machine from http://cfhep.ihep.ac.cn/download.htm. The login password is "whizard220".
 
3) Alternatively, to install natively (which will be necessary for some more advanced issues), there should be a recent Linux OS on the laptop which contains gc c/gfortran version 4.8 or higher, and O'caml 3.12 or higher.
3.1) download and unpack source tarball from
http://www.hepforge.org/archive/whizard/
3.2) in a fresh build directory, do
<WHIZARD-SOURCE>/configure --prefix=<WHIZARD-INST>
3.3) and afterwards make install
3.4) finally, set the necessary paths
<WHIZARD-INST>/bin/whizard-setup.sh
3.5) in the VM, or after building natively, you can invoke Whizard 
whizard my_sindarin_script.sin
 
4) For a Mac machine, here we provide an installation instruction for the operating system OS X10.9.4. To install all necessary packages, you should have the right of superuser. 
Please follow the following step to install Whizard:
4.1) First ensure to have XCode package and the commandline Tools installed;
4.2) install ocaml 
./configure
make world.opt
make instal l
4.3) install Omega
./configure
make install
4.4) install boost
./bjam
./b2 install
4.5) install yaml
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make install
4.6) install HepMC
./configure --with-momentum=GEV --with-length=MM
make 
cp lib/* /usr/local/lib/
4.7) install whizard
./configure
make 
make install
make check
