Event loop In computer science, the event loop, message loop or message pump is a programming construct that waits for and dispatches events or messages in a program. It works by polling some internal or external "event provider", which generally blocks until an event has arrived, and then calls the relevant event handler ("dispatches the event").

Thus the initial physical process that occurred at the interaction point of the particle accelerator, whose study is the ultimate goal of the experiment, can be determined.

Event-driven finite state machine A finite state machine (FSM) is event-driven if the creator of the FSM intends to think of the machine as consuming events or messages. This is in contrast to the parsing-theory origins of the term finite-state machine where the machine is described as consuming characters or tokens.

As such it forms the core technique for modeling in ARIS, which serves to link the different views in the so-called control view, which will be elaborated in section of ARIS Business Process Modeling.
Event-driven programming Event-driven programming is a computer programming paradigm in which the flow of the program is determined by user actions (mouse clicks, key presses) or messages from other programs. In contrast, in batch programming the flow is determined by the programmer.
Event-related potential An event-related potential (ERP) is any stereotyped electrophysiological response to an internal or external stimulus. More simply, it is any measured brain response that is directly the result of a thought or perception.
Event-Related Potentials Event-related potentials (ERPs) are brain responses time-locked to some "event". This event may be a sensory stimulus (such as a visual flash or an auditory sound), a mental event (such as recognition of a specified target stimulus), or the omission of a stimulus (such as an increased time gap between stimuli).
