MadGraph Amplitude Calculator

Purpose

Provides expert guidance on MadGraph matrix element calculations for BSM physics, including UFO model import, NLO calculations, and shower matching.

Capabilities

  • UFO model import and validation
  • Process generation and optimization
  • NLO calculation setup
  • Parton-level event generation
  • Shower matching with Pythia/Herwig
  • Cross-section extraction with uncertainties

Usage Guidelines

  1. Model Import: Import UFO models for BSM physics
  2. Process Generation: Generate matrix elements for desired processes
  3. NLO Corrections: Configure NLO calculations when needed
  4. Matching: Set up shower matching for hadronization
  5. Uncertainties: Evaluate scale and PDF uncertainties
