The expert system facilitates building an amplitude model.

An amplitude model describes the reaction process you want to study with partial wave analysis techniques. The responsibility of the expert system is to give advice on the form of an amplitude model based on the problem set one defines for a reaction process (initial state, final state, allowed interactions, intermediate states, etc.). Internally, the system propagates the quantum numbers through the reaction graph, while satisfying the specified conservation rules.

Afterwards, the amplitude model of the expert system can be exported. This amplitude model can then for instance be used to generate a data set (toy Monte Carlo) for this specific reaction process, or to optimize (‘fit’) its parameters so that they resemble the data set as good as possible.
