* The morning session of O. Mattelaer on Monday 7 will last from 11:00 to 13:00.
The morning sessions are dedicated to the presentation of the underlying theory of the MC tools and a brief presentation of the software.
Exercises will be given in the afternoon sessions.
Requirements:
Every participant must bring his/her own laptop with a Linux/MacOS installation (IMPORTANT!).
In case of hardware or software problems, please contact the organizers.
Basic materials of the course:
FeynRules 2 (https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/)
MadGraph 5 (http://madgraph.hep.uiuc.edu/)
Pythia 8 (http://home.thep.lu.se/~torbjorn/pythia82html/Welcome.html)
CheckMATE (http://checkmate.hepforge.org/)
Additional materials:
Previous MadGraph courses: https://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/projects/madgraph/wiki/FHEP
We will make use of some of the materials presented in the Sixth MC4BSM Workshop (Cornell, 22-24 March 2012).
