19 September 2012 – Item 11-add-1 added

XX September 2012 – Item 7-add-1 added

This webpage collects from the internet all the publications by Gfitter authors which are based on ZFITTER software "integrations" or which contain ZFITTER text "integrations".
There are a lot of them.
Unfortunately, these "integrations" of software and/or texts are not acknowledged appropriately by Gfitter.
Please, take notice:
Questions of intellectual property, copyright and licences etc. are related, but not identical to those around scientific honesty and plagiarism.

According to the statements of Gfitter, ZFITTER is always properly cited.
And if not, then this was occasional.

The comment by a German professor of physics is the following:
There are about 37 publications from 2007 to March 2011, where ZFITTER software or ZFITTER text is not quoted as expected by ZFITTER.
If some non-citations happened occasionally, then the probability for this is, with n publications, equal to p[n,x] = x^n. Here, the x is the probability that in a single publication a crucial reference has been forgotten.
The value of x should fulfil e.g. x<1%.
The combined probability of occasional non-quotations becomes for x=1%
p < p[37,1%] = 10^(-74) = 0
For a single case probability of x=10% to forget a crucial reference occasionally, the combined probability would be
p[37,10%] = 10^(-37) = 0
and for x=50%, a huge value:
p[37,50%] = 10^(-11).

A conclusion might be that the omissions of quotations happened not occasionally, but due to habitual behavior.

Certainly, misunderstandings happen.

   On the implemenation of susy the talk reports:
   "An initial implementation of a supersymmetric module for Gfitter (GSUSY) was created as a direct wrapper around the FeynHiggs[5, 6, 7, 8] package. All results presented in this report are preliminary and were generated using FeynHiggs version 2.6.2."
   Contrary to the ZFITTER 'integrations' this sounds correct. It [proves that the Gfitter authors know how to do.

27. The statement of the author on "The ZFITTER project" on slide 5 that ".. Applications labelled 'ZFITTER' are usually programs written by experimentalists taking the theory calculations from ZFITTER" is wrong.
    Correct is that the "programs written by experimentalists taking the theory calculations from ZFITTER" are usually called "interfaces", and the authors of the "interfaces" usually quote ZFITTER articles for the use of the ZFITTER software.

    It is not understandable from the transparencies whether Gfitter/gsm is used for the susy analyses or not. Either the known Standard Model input comes from an external analysis - then this should be quoted correctly - or it is determined with Gfitter/gsm.
    The latter has to be assumed.

    - No quotation of 2 CPC articles for the ZFITTER software used
    
    
    1 March 2011
    ZFITTER authors discover, by a google search, that Gfitter contains code "integrated" from ZFITTER software
    8 March 2011
    ZFITTER authors hint to potential copyright/licence problems of Gfitter and suggest not to use or present Gfitter and its results until the potential copyright/licence problems are solved.
    9 March 2011
    ZFITTER authors present undoubtful proof to Gfitter supporters that crucial parts of Gfitter/gsm have been "integrated" from ZFITTER software.
    
    The Gfitter publications are collected here; in the Gfitter software, the "integrations" are not made explicit. This is exemplified in another webpage.

36. The expectation by ZFITTER is not to present talks or publish articles until the Gfitter problems are solved.
    This talk is the first one held nevertheless.
    M. Baak
    "Global ElectroWeak fit of Standard Model and Beyond with Gfitter"
    Talk held at "XLVIth Rencontres de Moriond", session devoted to "Electroweak Interactions And Unified Theories", La Thuile, 13 March to 20 March, 2011.
    Indico Webpage: Moriond
    Transparencies: slides
    - ZFITTER is mentioned for numerical comparisons and for "... huge amount of pioneering work ..."
    - M. Baak says: "2-loop EW form-factors: taken and adapted from ZFITTER [A.B. Abruzov et al., Comput. Phys. Commun. 174 (2006) 728-758]
    - For the first time there is a quotation of ZFITTER which is ment for using the code; it is not very explicit and not correct [Abruzov means Arbuzov, and the basic CPC article is not mentioned]. It is not clear what means: "... taken and adapted from ZFITTER ...", and the excellent numerical agreement mentioned suggests independence of the two codes.

37. This talk is the second one ignoring the expectation of ZFITTER not to present talks until the Gfitter problems are solved.

    Talk held at DPG Frühjahrstagung, Karlsruhe, 28. März 2011
    Transparencies: Talks, take there DPG2011_T56.pdf
    - ZFITTER is mentioned for numerical comparisons
    - D. Ludwig says [translated from German]: "... electroweak form factors (2 loops): from ZFITTER and adapted ..."
    - No quotation of 2 CPC articles for the ZFITTER software used

38. This talk is the third one ignoring the expectation of ZFITTER not to present talks until the Gfitter problems are solved.

    - ZFITTER is mentioned for numerical comparisons
    - M. Baak says: "... 2-loop EW form-factors: taken and adapted from ZFITTER ... [A.B. Abruzov et al., Comput. Phys. Commun. 174 (2006) 728-758]"

    Book is sold at Amazon, see here
    One contribution is:
    Klaus Mönig and Georg Steinbrück
    "Electroweak and Standard Model Tests: the Quest for Precision" pp. 47-72
    The contribution was available free of charge online by Amazon for few weeks before final release.
    - No mentioning of ZFITTER, although a main part of the text is on precision measurements at LEP.
    The explanation by Dr. Mönig: "... Just forgotten to quote."
    The article contains 15 figures, 13 of them are "adapted" from other publications.
    The authors write:
    "The corrections to the W propagator violate the weak isospin due to the different mass of the up-type and the down-type fermions. They are of particular importance, because they are proportional to the squared mass difference of the involved particles."
    They quote a honorable theorist (1990) for that, but everybody knows that the famous observation is due to Nobel Laureate Tiny Veltman, published much earlier (1977).

40. 5 July 2011
    The following Gfitter article was submitted by Gfitter with a single-case agreement by ZFITTER.
    The copyright/licence/intellectual property problems are not settled at the time; although, there was some pressure by Gfitter supporters on ZFITTER [not to hinder the scientific progress and/or the scientific cooperation of DESY and CERN and/or not to defend the peace all over the world], so ZFITTER finally agreed.
    But the agreement was not unconditional. It was expected by ZFITTER that Gfitter explains the situation [in one way or the other, but in clear terms], and that the software Gfitter/gsm will be declared as a common product of members from both groups.
    As a result, the article contains the first public announcement by Gfitter that software from ZFITTER has been "integrated" into Gfitter.
    - Unfortunately, this common software Gfitter/gsm was never created and does not exist.
    - Further, Gfitter did not explain the situation in clear terms [in one way or the other].
    So it took 138 days, but the copyright/licence/intellectual property questions are not settled.

41. 20 July 2011
    Gfitter replaces the main Gfitter article EPJC60, 543 [and its arXiv/hep-ph submission] by a version
    - stating that Gfitter contains ZFITTER software and mentioning a co-authoring of Gfitter/gsm by authors from both packages;
    - not stating that text from ZFITTER publications has been "integrated" in EPJC60(2009)543

    "Gfitter - Revisiting the Global Electroweak Fit of the Standard Model and Beyond"
    Erratum to Journal article Eur. Phys. J. C 60, 543 (2009) is Eur. Phys. J. C 71 (2011) 1718, arXiv:0811.0009 v4 [20 July 2011]
    - The Erratum does not solve the problem to explain in a sufficiently explicit manner what happened with the software. Gfitter does it nowhere else.
    - The anticipated software package Gfitter/gsm with common authorship by members of both ZFITTER and Gfitter does not exist.
    - The copy-paste of text is not mentioned.
    - For these reasons the Erratum is not well founded.

42. This talk is the fourth one ignoring the expectation of ZFITTER not to present talks until the Gfitter problems are solved.

    Published in the proceedings: "Latest results of the global electroweak fit with Gfitter", PoS(EPS- HEP2011)254
    - The anticipated software package Gfitter/gsm with common authorship by members of both ZFITTER and Gfitter, see ref. [7], does not and will not exist. In fact, the article is based on the disputed version of Gfitter/gsm.

43. This talk is the fifth one ignoring the expectation of ZFITTER not to present talks until the Gfitter problems are solved.

    "Constraints on the electroweak symmetry breaking sector from global fits with Gfitter"
    Talk held at ILHC Workshop "Implications of LHC results for TeV-scale physics", 29 Aug - 2 Sep 2011, the last week of the "TH/LPCC Institute on LHC physics", CERN, Geneva, Switzerland.

    Link to slides at the conference webpage: slides, and at the Gfitter webpage: ILHC2011_schott.pdf
    On page 2, M. Schott expressed on 1 September 2011:
    "- Partial and total widths of Z and W: based on parameterized formulae
    [Hagiwara et al. (http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1104.1769)]
    - Radiator Functions using 3NLO calc. of massless QCD Adler function
    [P.A. Baikov et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101 (2008) 012022]"
    On page 2, M. Schott says after some time the following [status of 24 Nov. 2011]:
    "Partial and total widths of Z and W: based on parameterized formulae
    - [Hagiwara et al. (http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1104.1769)]
    - Small additional correction factors, determined from a comparison with the Fortran ZFITTER package [Arbuzov:2005ma,Bardin:1999yd], are used for MH> 200 GeV.
    - Radiator Functions using 3NLO calc. of massless QCD Adler function
    [P.A. Baikov et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101 (2008) 012022]"
    
    The archived slide is not identical with the original one; unfortunately, this is not expressed in the slides.
    The reason for the hidden "improvement" is a criticism by collegues from DESY, Zeuthen, that the Hagiwara et al. parameterization can not deliver the anticipated accuracy. There was just doubt expressed that a grid solution has really been applied. This doubt exists. But from the next item, the PhD thesis of M. Goebel at Hamburg University, one may learn that a grid solution exists in the Gfitter project.
    
    It is also explained in the thesis that the grid of Gfitter has been made USING the ZFITTER software. And this means that the two ZFITTER articles CPC133 and CPC174 have to be quoted, as it is correctly done in the thesis.
    
    Finally, M. Schott gave up and decided to quote ZFITTER as reproduced here.
    
    
    Although, M. Goebel writes explicitely that the Hagiwara et al. grid has been combined, for improvement, by using ZFITTER 6.42; he quotes ZFITTER correctly. See page 15 of fromGoebelsThesisSep2011.

45. M. Goebel
    "Tests of the Electroweak Standard Model and Measurement of the Weak Mixing Angle with the ATLAS Detector"
    PhD thesis at Univ. Hamburg, disputation 19.9.2011, see: DESY inform
    M. Goebel uses in the PhD thesis a grid approach a la Hagiwara et al. to the Standard Model fit, in order to eliminate the dependence of the Gfitter package from Gfitter/gsm. The creation of the latter was an important part of his diploma thesis, see Item 2 in this list. In order to reach a sufficient accuracy, he improves the Japanese grid by using the ZFITTER package, and quotes correctly the two CPC articles on ZFITTER.
    See page 15 of fromGoebelsThesisSep2011.

    The talk is not correct in quoting Item 41 and Item 49: Item 41 is NOT the preprint of Item 49.
    The first of the two remained being a preprint. It was accepted for publication in EPJC on 12 Sep 2011 (private information from A. Hoecker on 20 Sep 2011 to T. Riemann by phone), but did never appear. Seemingly, it was retracted by the editor or publisher?
    The second of them was submitted to EPJC in January 2012 as a new paper, without a preprint or a hep-ph submission. This may be seen looking into the article, see DOI: 10.1140/epjc/s10052-012-2003-4

    Although suggested by inspire, the article has nothing to do with: DESY-11-107 (only title page), CERN-OPEN-2011-033 (01 Jul 2011) and e-Print arXiv:1107.0975 [hep-ph] PDF
    This is discussed in detail in GfitterPlag/. . ./das-projekt-epjc7220122003.html
    The package Gfitter/gsm is quoted just in a wrong way: It is the one, which was created by non-authorized hidden copy-paste-adapt. But they say it is a common package with authors from both the ZFITTERR and the Gfitter teams. This was planned to be created, but it was never created. And will not be.

    Slide 5 shows a plot dated in 2008.
    This plot has been made using software created by non-authorized hidden copy-paste-adapt fromm ZFITTER v.6.42..
    So, J. Haller should say this and additionally quote the software ZFITTER by citing 2 CPC articles.
