Rivet, RivetHZTool and HERA -- A validation effort for coding HERA measurements for Rivet

Abstract

During the DESY summer student program 2021, young scientists from more than 13 different countries worked together, connecting from remote, to provide computer codes within the Rivet framework for 19 HERA measurements. Most of these measurements were originally available within the HZTool package, but no longer accessible for modern analysis packages such as Rivet. The temporary RivetHZTool interface was used to validate most of the new Rivet plugins.
