Processes can be simulated to LO accuracy for any user-defined +Lagrangian, and the NLO accuracy in the case of QCD corrections to SM +processes. Matrix elements at the tree- and one-loop-level can also be obtained. + +MadGraph5_aMC@NLO is the new version of both MadGraph5 and aMC@NLO that unifies +the LO and NLO lines of development of automated tools within the MadGraph +family. It therefore supersedes all the MadGraph5 1.5.x versions and all the +beta versions of aMC@NLO. + +The standard reference for the use of the code is: + +> J.
