# ME Particle Physics Beamer Template
A custom LaTeX beamer class designed specifically for particle physics presentations, featuring specialized commands for particle notation, decay chains, and statistical representations commonly used in high-energy physics.
## Installation
### Local Installation
1. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/MohamedElashri/me_beamer
```
2. Copy `me_beamer.cls` to your TeX project directory or install it in your local texmf tree:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/texmf/tex/latex/me_beamer
cp me_beamer.cls ~/texmf/tex/latex/me_beamer/
```
### Overleaf Installation
1. Create a new project in Overleaf
2. Upload `me_beamer.cls` to your project
3. Use `\documentclass{me_beamer}` in your main `.tex` file
## Usage
### Basic Structure
```latex
\documentclass{me_beamer}
\title{Your Title}
\subtitle{Optional Subtitle}
\author{Your Name}
\institute{Your Institution}
\date{\today}
% Optional: Setup logos (supports up to 3 logos)
\logosetup{figures/logo1}{figures/logo2}{figures/logo3}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[plain]
\titlepage
\end{frame}
% Your content here
\end{document}
```
### Particle Physics Commands
#### Charge States
```latex
\p % Positive charge: ^+
\m % Negative charge: ^-
\z % Neutral: ^0
```
#### Common Particles
```latex
\ep % e^+
\mup % μ^+
\mum % μ^-
\piz % π^0
\pip % π^+
\pim % π^-
\Kp % K^+
\Km % K^-
\Kz % K^0
\Ks % K^0_S
\Kl % K^0_L
```
#### B and D Mesons
```latex
\Bz % B^0
\Bp % B^+
\Bm % B^-
\Bs % B_s
\Bc % B_c
\Dz % D^0
\Dp % D^+
\Dm % D^-
\Ds % D_s
```
#### Resonances
```latex
\jpsi % J/ψ
\psip % ψ(2S)
\ups{1} % Υ(1S)
\chic{1} % χ_c1
```
#### Decay Chains
```latex
\To % →
\TOm{BR} % ⟶ with text above
\TOu{BR} % ⟶ with text below
\TOmu{top}{bot} % ⟶ with text above and below
```
#### Kinematic Variables
```latex
\pT % Transverse momentum
\ET % Transverse energy
\HT % Scalar sum of transverse momenta
\MET % Missing transverse energy
\drap % Rapidity difference
\dphi % Phi difference
\dR % ΔR separation
```
#### Statistical Terms
```latex
\stat % (stat)
\syst % (syst)
\lumierr % (lumi)
\chidof % χ²/d.o.f.
```
#### Cross Sections and Luminosity
```latex
\xsec % σ
\intlumi % Integrated luminosity
\ipb % pb^-1
\ifb % fb^-1
\iab % ab^-1
```
#### LHC-specific Terms
```latex
\RunOne % Run 1
\RunTwo % Run 2
\RunThree % Run 3
\HLLHC % HL-LHC
```
### Code Highlighting
The template includes predefined styling for code blocks:
```latex
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\begin{lstlisting}[language=Python]
your_code_here()
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}
```
### Backup Slides
To add backup slides that won't count in the main slide numbering:
```latex
\backupbegin
\begin{frame}
% Your backup content
\end{frame}
\backupend
```
## Example
See `main.tex` for a complete example presentation. Note that the example uses logo files (`figures/cincinnati-logo.png`, `figures/lhcb-logo.png`, `figures/cern-logo.png`) which are copyrighted to their respective organizations and not included in this repository. Please replace them with your own institution's logos and place them in the `figures/` directory.
All figures used in your presentation should be placed in the `figures/` directory. The template is configured to look for images in this location by default, so you can reference them in your LaTeX code without the `figures/` prefix:
```latex
\includegraphics{your-image} % Will look for figures/your-image.png
```
