That stuff in connected. Several @Home project connected to the LHC require to simulate collisions for specific studies. Here, the idea is to design a code allowing to easily plugin into these simulation tools a new physics context. For the moment, there are three codes allowing to do that, two of them relying on this mathematica platform that is expensive and the third one offering much less options.
So in a way, this could be connected but the project itself won't necessitate to simulate anything.
Does it make it clearer?
