VISPA Description

Development environment for high energy physics analysis VISPA is a novel development environment for high energy physics analysis, based on a combination of graphical and textual steering. The primary aim of VISPA is to support physicists in prototyping, performing, and verifying a data analysis of any complexity. VISPA facilitates prototyping, executing, and verifying a physics data analysis by combining graphical and textual programming. This combination has been shown to speed up design and development in other fields, like hardware control using the LabView program.To deploy a visual environment for physics analysis, VISPA provides a multi-purpose window tool with a three-column structure, a navigator panel, a window for graphical displays, and a property panel. For the text-based programming, both the C++ and the Python languages are supported.VISPA heavily uses the Physics eXtension Libary (PXL), a C++ class and template collection for four-vector analysis and hypothesis evolution in High Energy Physics analysis. The PXL can be used stand-alone as well as within arbitrary HEP experiment specific software frameworks.
