PDG Encoding Instructions

Getting Started

Step 1: Accounts. If you are in the area where LBNL ships PDG products, you can create an account, if you don't have one, at this page: https://pdg.lbl.gov/PdgOrderingSystem/. If you are outside the LBNL shipping area, Piotr will have to make an account for you, please email him.

Step 2: Authorization. You need to be authorized to log in to the system. We are getting started with just a few users at a time. Please email Piotr if you want to be authorized, and tell him the username or e-mail address you used when creating or requesting your account.

Step 3: Log In. Go to https://pdgprod.lbl.gov/pdgprod/PdgWorkspace/ and log in. You should see "Encoding System" on the top of the screen, as shown below (amongst other things, if you have other roles enabled).

Your encodings

You should see a list of papers ready for you under "Pending Tasks." If you are the overseer for a section and your encoder has not yet completed their work, you will find these unfinished papers under "Future Tasks."

1. Check out the information for your pending task - if you would like to see the PDF of the paper, click the paper icon next to the reference in the "Paper" column.
2. Click on the task, for example "AAD 2012AV."
3. You should see the screen below, with four tabs. Start on the first one, "reference details" and enter the information. Overseers, if you are entering encodings into the system for your encoders, you will start out on the last tab, "review & sign off." You need to click on the first gray tab to go back and enter "reference details". Finish by clicking the "save details" button, or mark the paper as empty from this screen.
4. Click on the next tab, "add measurements." For examples of the syntax to use, mouse over the question marks in boxes near each heading. Please leave the charge empty unless needed.
5. If needed, click on the next tab, "toolbox" to enter new decay modes and branching ratios.
6. The final tab, "review & sign off" gives you the opportunity to generate a PDF with your new work.
