UoE Physics LaTeX styles

From Sven Kreiss

All the files are "stolen" and modified from the old UoE CS department styles. So far, I modified the cstechrep and csposter class for the School of Physics.

[edit] Download

To install the styles copy the computerscience folder in Styles to /usr/share/texmf-tetex/tex/latex. This is the folder for Ubuntu Edgy with installed tetex. This folder might be different for other distributions.

Afterwards run

sudo update-texmf
sudo texhash

[edit] Elsevier Styles

The styles from elsevier can be installed in the same way as those above. Do not forget to run the two commands update-texmf and texhash.


[edit] FeynEdit

FeynEdit seems to have some substantial short comings: as outlined below, you very quickly will want to draw diagrams with smaller gluans, arrows, etc. The problem with FeynEdit is that your Canvas size as well as all sizes of objects are fixed. Drawing larger diagrams seems not possible. It seems JaxoDraw is a better alternative (see below).

  • Install the sty-file that comes with FeynEdit into a directory similar to the one above.
  • Run the install commands as above.
  • Open feynarts.sty and change some numbers in the first big block of text:
    • /PropagatorThickness: .07
    • /VertexThickness: Propagatorthickness 6 mul
    • /ArrowLength: .9
    • /ArrowHeight: .3
  • Do not forget to put an /FADiagram{} above each diagram (even when you only have one diagram and no title).

[edit] JaxoDraw

When installing the axodraw4j.sty file into your system, it seems that it is not readable by others. You need to do a chmod o+r axodraw4j.sty for latex to be able to read the file.
