- * Recent Changes since the last posting:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - What is a Particle? -- Compilation of HEP information.
- - Computer Related Web Sites.
- - [US] National Software Exchange for the High Performance Computing
- and Communications community.
- - SE Institute from CMU.
- - GNU Numerical Software Survey!
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- * Particle Physics Documents and Lattice Field Theory on the World Wide Web
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- FYI, there is a wealth of information on Particle Physics and Lattice
- Field Theory available on the World Wide Web [WWW], a distributed
- HyperText system (a network of documents connected by links which can
- be activated electronically). Lattice Field Theory aims at [large-scale]
- simulations of particle theories on a space-time lattice. Many
- methods from condensed matter physics and numerical mathematics (fast
- algorithms) are in use in that field. The core documents are hosted
- by the freeHEP information server at freehep.scri.fsu.edu, together
- with much more useful software for High Energy Physics.
- There is a new enlarged section "General Physics" if you aren't
- interested in Lattice Field Theory. The WWW resource can be
- searched for keywords. The latest version of this resource info
- sheet is available via anonymous FTP to rtfm.mit.edu in file
- /pub/usenet/news-answers/www/resources/particle-physics.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- * How to get to the Web
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you have a WWW browser up and running, try going to
-
- http://info.desy.de/general/users.html
-
- and look for "Lattice High Energy Physics" in the panel which appears.
- The precise URL is
-
- http://info.desy.de/user/projects/Lattice.html
-
- while the General Physics page (reachable from the Lattice page) is at
-
- http://info.desy.de/user/projects/Lattice/Misc.html
-
- If you have no clue what WWW is, you can go over the Internet with
-
- telnet info.cern.ch
-
- which brings you to the WWW Home Page at CERN. You are now using the
- simple line mode browser. To move around the Web, enter the number
- given after an item. To go to the Physics documents, enter
-
- go http://info.desy.de/user/projects/Lattice.html
-
- This is what you should see now:

- * More on Browsing the Web
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- A very nice way of "browsing" through WWW uses X-based tools like "tkWWW"
- or "NCSA Mosaic". For the latter, binaries for many platforms (ready for
- use) and sources are available via anonymous FTP from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in
- directory Web/Mosaic-binaries. For vt100 terminals there is a much-used
- browser called "Lynx" which can be obtained by FTP from ftp2.cc.ukans.edu
- in the pub/lynx directory. Emacs users will like the "W3" browser, FTP to
- cs.indiana.edu:/pub/elisp/w3.
- There is a FTP repository for browser software at info.cern.ch
- (including a hypertext browser/editor for NeXTStep 3.0 and tkWWW).
- If you cannot go through TELNET, you can still retrieve WWW
- documents by e-mail: send Email to test-list@info.cern.ch with one or
- more lines of the form
-
- send [http-address]
- e.g.
- send http://info.desy.de/user/projects/Lattice.html
-
- at the bottom of the page you'll find all links of that document listed.
- Your mail system must have a mail gateway to internet mail.

- For questions related to WWW, consult the WWW-FAQ available
