About HEPMDB
What is HEPMDB?
According to HEPMDB main page:
HEPMDB is created to facilitate the connection between High Energy theory and experiment, to store and validate theoretical models, to develop dictionary of the model signatures aimed to identify the fundamental theory responsible for signals expected at the LHC.
In consequence, HEPMDB is a huge database of models and also signatures for those models. Eventually, HEPMDB will be able to compare BSM predictions with LHC data in order to discriminate the different theories. The database is still in development. Currently, HEPMDB gathers various Matrix Element generators and models in order to compute cross-sections and cross-check the results.
The model database can be accessed by everyone. In order to use HEPMDB computational capabilities you'll have to register first.
Getting started
How to register on HEPMDB?
To Register - All you need are basic details such as name, email and Affiliation. Your account will be reviewed and approve by one of our administrators. You will be notified by email once your account is approved. Registration can be done on HEPMDB main site. As usual, all fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory.

Becoming an author
Who's an author?
If you want to use the HEPMDB computation abilities, you will have to become an author. Authors are also granted the right to upload new models (and encouraged to do so). In the future, they will also be able to add model signatures.
How to upload a model
As soon as your account will be approved, you will be able to upload new models. This is done through the upload model page.
