چکیده

We present an application that automatically writes the Helas library corresponding to the Feynman rules of any Lagrangian, renormalizable or not, in quantum field theory. The code, written in Python, takes the Universal FeynRules Output (Ufo) as an input and produces the complete set of routines (wavefunctions and amplitudes) that are needed for the computation of Feynman diagrams at leading as well as at higher orders. The representation is language independent and outputs in Fortran, C++, Python are currently available. A few key sample applications implemented in the MadGraph 5 framework are presented.

Automatic Generation of Tree Level Helicity Amplitudes

The program MadGraph is presented which automatically generates postscript Feynman diagrams and Fortran code to calculate arbitrary tree level helicity amplitudes by calling HELAS[1] subroutines. The program is written in Fortran and is available in Unix and VMS versions. MadGraph currently includes standard model interactions of QCD and QFD, but is easily modi ed to include additional models s...

Navigating around the Algebraic Jungle of Qcd: Efficient Evaluation of Loop Helicity Amplitudes

A method is developed whereby spinor helicity techniques can be used to simplify the calculation of loop amplitudes. This is achieved by using the Feynman-parameter representation where the offending off-shell loop momenta do not appear. Background Feynman gauge also helps to simplify the calculations. This method is applicable to any Feynman diagram with any number of loops as long as the exte...

Multi-particle Processes in the Standard Model without Feynman Diagrams

A method to efficiently compute, in a automatic way, helicity amplitudes for arbitrary scattering processes at leading order in the Standard Model is presented. The scattering amplitude is evaluated recursively through a set of Dyson-Schwinger equations. The computational cost of this algorithm grows asymptotically as 3n, where n is the number of particles involved in the process, compared to n...

New Tools for Automatic Cross Section Calculation

In this contribution the matrix element generator AMEGIC++ will be presented. It automatically generates Feynman diagrams, helicity amplitudes, and suitable phase space mappings for processes involving multi-particle final states within the Standard Model and some of its popular extensions. Due to the rising energy frontier in high-energy collider experiments, potential signals and their backgr...

HELAC: a package to compute electroweak helicity amplitudes

HELAC is a FORTRAN based package that is able to compute efficiently helicity amplitudes for arbitrary scattering processes within the standard electroweak theory. The algorithm exploits the virtues of the Dyson-Schwinger equations as compared to the traditional Feynman graph approach. All electroweak vertices are included in both the unitary and Feynman gauges, and computations including all m...
