[[TOC(WikiStart,physicsInput,download,Paper,GiBUU_Code_history,GiBUUTeam,depth=2)]] = The GiBUU project = The '''GiBUU project''' provides a unified theory and transport framework in the MeV and GeV energy regimes for * '''elementary reactions on nuclei''', as e.g. * '''electron''' + A, * '''photon''' + A, * '''neutrino''' + A , * '''hadron''' + A (especially '''pion''' + A and '''proton''' + A) * and for A + A '''heavy-ion collisions''', using the same physics input and code. The GiBUU code provides a full dynamical description of the reaction and delivers the complete final state of an event; it can thus be used as an '''event generator'''. The source code is freely available. For all the reactions, the flow of particles is modeled within a [wiki:physicsInput Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (BUU) framework]. The relevant degrees of freedom are '''mesons''' and '''baryons''', which propagate in mean fields and scatter according to cross sections which are applicable to the energy range of a few 10 MeV to about 40 GeV. In the higher energy regimes the concept of '''pre-hadronic''' interactions is implemented in order to realize ''color transparency'' and ''formation time'' effects. For a general overview of the model, its theoretical basis as well as many practical details, refer to the review paper: '''Transport-theoretical Description of Nuclear Reactions'''[[br]] ''O. Buss, T. Gaitanos, K. Gallmeister, H. van Hees, M. Kaskulov, O. Lalakulich, A. B. Larionov, T. Leitner, J. Weil, U. Mosel''[[br]] [http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physrep.2011.12.001 Phys. Rept. 512 (2012) 1-124] / [http://inspirehep.net/record/912923 Inspire] The numerical implementation, named '''GiBUU''' (aka ''The Giessen BUU Project''), is written in modular [wiki:programmingLiterature Fortran 2003] and based upon a [http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion] version control system, which allows for a concise control over the full development phase of the code. The [wiki:GiBUU_Code_history history of the code] is rather long and reports about several main development steps. The present initiative accomplished a total rewrite of the source code in a present-day computing language. The main goals of this effort were ''modularization'' to allow for a more transparent multi-user development process, a strict ''reduction of global variables'' for a more transparent debugging procedure, an ''improved control over the development phase'' such that modifications can be backtracked and a ''unified standard version''. Therefore every member of the team works on the same single code version, albeit different temporal branches may coexist. Possible technical overhead is compensated by the benefit of a ''faster distribution of improvements and innovations'' and their ''enhanced sustainability''.
