A unified framework automates tree-level and next-to-leading order differential cross sections along with parton-shower matching and sample merging.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

We present a computer program, MadGraph5_aMC@NLO, capable of handling all these computations -- parton-level fixed order, shower-matched, merged -- in a unified framework whose defining features are flexibility, high level of parallelisation, and human intervention limited to input physics quantities.

C2weakest assumption

That the automation for any given renormalisable Lagrangian requires no changes from the user viewpoint and that the implementation of non-QCD corrections is well under way, as stated in the abstract.

C3one line summary

MadGraph5_aMC@NLO automates tree-level, NLO, shower-matched, and merged cross-section computations for collider processes in a unified flexible framework.
