The feature of having saved public EoS in storage is an awesome opportunity to allow the MUSES Framework to become the host of “standardized EoS” for the community.
If the publicly saved EoS had tags (like “Critical point”, “Low temperature”, “CMF”…) users could access already calculated EoS by a simple tag research. We could also think of having “published” or “starred” as a tag (like a “certified” EoS), guiding people in there use of EoS.
This will open the use of MUSES generated EoS for people that are simple user of EoS but are not doing explicit research in equations of state or to users that simply wants to study deviation with regard to already existing standard EoS for instance.
Of course, the best would be to be able to still use the observable modules on these already saved EoS.
I really like the idea of being able to search saved/public EoSs by tag and then using them in different modules. It certainly could save some run-time if we have some default EoSs, like Andrew mentioned today. I opened an issue for it, so we remember to do it in the future.
I can see that being useful and attracting some attention of people that might just want to compare the results of some muses module with their own results, without having to go through the trouble of learning how to use the calculation engine for it.
With that being said, I believe becoming a standardized EoS repository might be a bit of a stretch, since we already have the compOSE EoS repository. But I guess they are focused towards neutron stars. Maybe some of the seniors have an opinion on it
Maybe something for heavy-ions that would be useful? From what I understand talking to Veronica COMPOSE have been very resistant to expand into heavy-ions. Thus, at least for that side of things it could be very useful.
On the neutron star side of things, we might want to upload certain “gold standard” or particularly interesting EOS to compose
Another point to make is that this might be useful to do for transport coefficients as well, especially for heavy-ions
Thanks Mateus, yes, I really think that a user would be happy to have several published MUSES EoS directly accessible for their own work! Easily usable, maintained to state of the art calculations, excellent for MUSES citations.
Indeed Jaki, I was thinking for the heavy-ion community, I was not aware of compOSE. It can be only for heavy-ion EoS, even though the best would be to have everything at the same place. In the end, there is only one good equation of state in nature!
I was thinking of only a few golden standards actually, it does need to be a large amount of EoS.
And yes, if we can have pre computed transport coefficient (or say many standard quantities) for these standard its even better.
Thank you so much!
