* 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).
