XML-Based Formulation of Field Theoretical Models. A Proposal for a Future Standard and Data Base for Model Storage, Exchange and Cross-checking of Results

Abstract

We propose an XML-based standard for formulation of field theoretical models. The goal of creation of such a standard is to provide a way for an unambiguous exchange and cross-checking of results of computer calculations in high energy physics. At the moment, the suggested standard implies that models under consideration are of the SM or MSSM type (i.e., they are just SM or MSSM, their submodels, smooth modifications or straightforward generalizations).
