MadGraph5_aMC@NLO is an event generator.

This event generator can do multiple type of computation

  • LO cross-section computation and event generation (tree level and loop induced processes)
  • NLO fix order computation
  • NLO+PS computation (via the MC@NLO method)

Those type of computation are available for the SM and for a large class of model via the UFO format.

The package also include a lot of additional feature

  • matrix-element provider (tree level and one loop)
  • MadSpin (decay of massive particle in the NWA limit)
  • Systematics a code for computation of theoretical uncertainties via re-weighting
  • Re-weighting a code to reuse a sample of events (LO OR NLO) and change the weight of each event to predict the shape of a new BSM/SM benchmark

External package can also be interfaced to MadGraph5_aMC@NLO (you can use the "install" command to install those)

  • maddm : tools for DM computation (relic density, direct detection,...)
  • pythia8 : allow to automatically shower your sample as soon as they are generated
  • madanalysis5: analysis and recasting tool
  • Delphes: Detector simulation (fast sim)
  • ExRootAnalysis: convert your LHE file to root
  • NINJA/COLLIER: Additional package to speed up loop computation
