4 What is MadGraph5? Diagram generator in python. returns code to compute matrix-element based on the Helicity Amplitude formalism Various output format MadEvent: Leading-order cross-section and event generation NLO cross-section and event generation (matched to the shower) Pythia8: export the matrix element inside the pythia8 framework Tools: MadSpin, MadWeight, MadDM,... 4

5 Recap: What is MG5 Can handle ANY model (that can be written as a Lagrangian), conveniently output by FeynRules Any Lorentz structure for any spin (up to 2) and color (6tets, ε ijk ) Multiparticle vertices for any multiplicity, multifermion vertices Super fast process generation Unlimited-length decay chains with full BW and spin effects Event generation speedups by orders of magnitude Super-user-friendly command line interfaces 5

6 Core news Lots of speedups and improvements, including Huge speedup of gridpacks Vast speedup for long decay chains with multiparticle decays Huge improvements in user interface Multi cluster support New 4-flavor matching and VBF-type matching 4 fermion vertices in FR+MG5 (except Majorana) Spin 3/2 particles in FR+MG5 Complex mass scheme Feynman gauge Handling of negative weights On-the-fly 2-body decay width calculations ( Auto width ) 6

11 Any BSM should be possible in a fully automatic and efficient way! Some restriction applies: Only local theory Theory should respect CPT and lorentz invariance (all indices should be contracted) Color supported up to dimension 8 (including sextet and epsilon structure) Spin supported up to spin 2 (including spin3/2) No four fermion interaction with fermion-flow violation / majorana in the same model 10

19 Plan BSM Core QCD v5 Tools Matching/Merging 13

20 Matching in MG + Pythia6 Alwall et al. [arxiv: ], Alwall, de Visscher, Maltoni [arxiv: ], MadGraph wiki MLM-style matching Classic cone-jet matching (a la AlpGen), k T -jet matching, and shower-k T matching Official CMS SM background simulation Excellent agreement with data across the line Fully supports matching for any NP process Restriction: Matching of jets from core process, not from decay products (let Pythia ME corr. take care of that) 14

21 MLM algorithm 1. Generate ME events (with different parton multiplicities) using parton-level cuts (p T ME /ΔR or k T ME ) 2. Cluster each event and reweight α s and PDFs based on the scales in the corresponding clustering vertices 3. Run the parton shower with starting scale t 0 = m T. 4. Check that the number of jets after parton shower is the same as ME partons, and that all jets after parton shower are matched to the ME partons at a scale Q match. If yes, keep the event. If no, reject the event. Q match is called the matching scale. 5. For highest multiplicity, allow radiation < lowest ME scale 15

22 Matching with b-quarks p MT (Z)M T (b) for factorization scale Gives smooth matching to Pythia PS Shower ME 16
