Notes
Shorter, less formal write-ups on tools, methods and in-progress work — the parts of the job that do not always make it into a publication.

A common Rivet validation layer across POWHEG, GENEVA, MCFM and JetPhox
Notes on building Rivet/HepMC interfaces for several otherwise incompatible fixed-order and parton-shower codes, so their predictions can be validated and cross-compared through one analysis layer.
