# What is HepLean?
HepLean is an open-source project to digitalise definitions, theorems, proofs, and calculations in high energy physics using the interactive theorem prover Lean 4.
HepLean is an open-source project to digitalise definitions, theorems, proofs, and calculations in physics using the interactive theorem prover Lean 4.
HepLean has the potential to benefit the high energy physics community in four ways:
## Scope of HepLean
Currently the scope of HepLean includes the results and foundations of the following arXiv categories:
*hep-th, hep-ph, hep-ex, hep-lat, gr-qc, and math-ph.*
In particular, the current scope of HepLean includes (but is not limited to) the following foundational areas:
*special and general relativity, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, particle physics, classical mechanics and field theory, cosmology, thermodynamics*
Once the foundations are in place, and HepLean has a large enough active community behind it, the scope of HepLean will naturally increase to include other areas of physics (and it most likely will undergo a name change).
# Why formalize physics?
HepLean has the potential to benefit the physics community in four ways:
- Make it easier to find results.
- Make it easier to automate the creation of new results using e.g. machine learning methods.
- Make it easier to check papers and results for mathematical correctness.
- Create new avenues through which high energy physics can be taught.
HepLean is a connection between high energy physics (both formal and phenomenological),
computer science, and mathematics.
- Create new avenues through which physics can be taught.
- Opens up new ways to interface between theory and computer programs.
