MadGraph5_aMC@NLO
Long Term Stable Version
Long Term Stable Version. The long term stable version of the MadGraph5_aMC matrix element generator package.
Please note that you need Python v 2.7 or 3.7 (and higher) to use MadGraph5_aMC. Untar, and start the user interface by running
./bin/mg5_amc

 Legacy code

MadDipole
MadDipole package Similar to the MadGraph StandAlone package, but particularly useful in the context of Next-to-Leading Order (in QCD or QED) calculations. Given the m+1 particle process MadDipole creates the corresponding code for the matrix element squared and the dipole subtraction terms in the Catani-Seymour framework. Precise details on how to run the code can be found in the MG/ME wiki page or the README file. By Nicolas Greiner (QCD & QED dipoles) and Rikkert Frederix (QCD dipoles).
Pythia and PGS package
Parton showering, hadronization and detector simulation. This package includes Pythia 6.420, PGS4 (090401), StdHEP, LHAPDF and Tauola. To automatically run Pythia and PGS on events from the downloaded MadEvent code, download this package and un-tar it in the MG_ME_V4.0 directory, then run make in the pythia-pgs directory. If pythia_card.dat and pgs_card.dat are present in the Cards/ directory, Pythia and PGS will automatically be called in the event generation by the MadEvent script generate_events. Update notes for the Pythia-PGS package.
Note this package can be install automatically in MG5 by the following command:
mg5> install pythia-pgs
Note that this version is not maintained anymore. (use "install pythia8" instead)
ExRootAnalysis
Root library. Library to analyse the root files created by the PGS run, containing all event information: parton level, Pythia event record and PGS detector simulation data. See the README file and Root tree description, found in the doc directory. Created by Pavel Demin.
Note this package can be install automatically in MG5 by the following command:
mg5> install ExRootAnalysis
MadAnalysis
Topdrawer Plotting library. Fortran and Perl software to create histograms of kinematic quantities (pt,eta,DeltaR,invariant mass,...) from
1. Les Houches events
2. LHC Olympics 4 events
in Topdrawer format (ASCII files, similar to those used in gnuplot). Topdrawer is a SLAC software. For more information and available downloads see the wiki page. Created by F. Maltoni and R. Frederix.
Note this package can be install automatically in MG5 by the following command (This also install td):
mg5> install MadAnalysis4
Note that this version is not maintained anymore. Prefer MadAnalysis5 (install MadAnalysis)
MadGraph V4
This is the old version of MG/ME, retained to allow comparisons with the latest version.
Note that this version is not maintained anymore.
Update notes for MadGraph/MadEvent 4.
MadWeight V2
MadWeight2 package The MadWeight package is a specific phase space generator designed for the Matrix Element Reweighting. MadWeight computes the convolution of the squared matrix element and the resolution function for a sample of events and a number of theoretical hypothesis. This gives a usefull discriminator between different theoretical inputs. Precise details on how to run the code can be found in the MG/ME wiki page. By Olivier Mattelaer and Pierre Artoisenet. Note that this version is not maintained anymore.
The most recent version of MadWeight is now part of the MadGraph5_aMC framework.
