A graphical interface to tame Monte Carlo chaos in particle physics

Particle physics simulations typically live in tangled webs of handwritten scripts that break when passed between collaborators or rerun months later. MAGE-HEP introduces a graphical environment that organizes work into a project-study-run hierarchy, letting analysts define generator configurations, observables, and selections through a structured interface that auto-generates C++/ROOT code. Studies can be bundled and exported as portable files for sharing. The current beta validates the concept using PYTHIA8 and ROOT, with live output inspection and manifest-based run tracking.
