The M.U.P.P.E.T. Utilities
Published Papers Describing M.U.P.P.E.T.

There have been a number of papers published in physics journals and books around the world describing the applications of M.U.P.P.E.T.

The M.U.P.P.E.T. Utilities have been reviewed in the article:

Pascal utilities provide programming assistance: Comparison of M.U.P.P.E.T. and Scientific Programmer's Toolkit, by Wolfgang Christian, Computers in Physics, Vol 7, No. 2, pp. 191-196 (Mar/Apr 1993).

Here are some references of which we are aware. Papers available on the Web are highlighted. Access it by clicking on the name.
