===Test4Theory===
The ''Test4Theory'' application allows volunteers to run simulations of high energy particle collisions on their home computers. These simulations use theoretical models based on the [[Standard Model]] of particle physics, and are calculated using [[Monte Carlo methods]]. The theoretical models have adjustable parameters and the aim is that a given set of parameters (called a "tune") will fit the widest possible range of experimental results.

The Test4Theory results are therefore submitted to a database which contains a very wide set of experimental data from many accelerator experiments worldwide, including of course experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. The Theory Unit at CERN runs the [http://mcplots.cern.ch/ MCPLots] project, which run the database and the theoretical fitting process.<ref>{{cite web |title=Test4Theory |url=https://lhcathome.web.cern.ch/projects/test4theory |website=lhcathome.web.cern.ch |access-date=25 August 2022 |archive-date=28 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220428200924/https://lhcathome.web.cern.ch/projects/test4theory |url-status=live }}</ref>
