WCxf command line interface

The WCxf command line tool requires Python version 3.5 or above. It can be installed with the command

pip3 install wcxf

It can be used for conversion, validation, translation, and matching of WCxf files. You can display all options by running

wcxf -h

in the terminal.

Conversion

To convert a WCxf file in YAML format to JSON, run

wcxf convert json my_file.yml

To validate a basis file, run

wcxf validate basis my_basis.yml

and for a Wilson coefficient file

wcxf validate wc my_coeffs.yml

It accepts input files in YAML or JSON format.

To translate a Wilson coefficient file to a different basis of the same EFT (e.g. the flavio basis), run

wcxf translate flavio my_wet_jms_coeffs.yml

Note that basis names are case sensitive; check the list of existing bases to find the correct spelling.

To match Wilson coefficients from a UV to an IR EFT, e.g. from SMEFT to WET, run

wcxf match WET JMS my_smeft_warsaw_coeffs.yml

Note that EFT and basis names are case sensitive; check the list of existing EFTs and bases to find the correct spelling.
