    5 === The "old" way : using {{{USRMOD}}} v1 ===
    6 This is "traditional" way to create a new physics model in Software.MadGraph / Software.MadEvent v4. You should use the {{{USRMOD}}} template directory present in the {{{Models}}} directory. The full procedure to follow is extensively described [http://cp3wks05.fynu.ucl.ac.be/Manual/usrmod.html here].

    814This method has been successfully used over the past to create several new Physics models. However, it presents two important disadvantages:
    915   * The base model is always the SM and the possible modifications are restricted (e.g. removing a particle is not possible). This was due to the important structural differences in the original BSM models provided with Software.MadGraph / Software.MadEvent v4.
    1016   * Feynman rules should be computed by hand.
    11 To address these issues, two new methods are now available and should be preferentially used (starting from the future version 4.6, old models files, including those produced with the {{{USRMOD}}} v1, will only be passively supported).

    2030Thanks to its high capabilities, including a user friendly interface, the automatized model generation for arbitrary QFT physics theories and robust validation procedures, [http://feynrules.phys.ucl.ac.be FeynRules] and the corresponding interface will be the default tool to generate important Software.MadGraph / Software.MadEvent models starting from version 4.6.

    22 ==== {{{USRMOD}}} v2 ====
    23 In order to keep the {{{USRMOD}}} approach flexibility with the new models produced by the [http://feynrules.phys.ucl.ac.be FeynRules] package, a new independent version of the {{{USRMOD}}} scripts, called {{{USRMOD}}} v2, has been released. The "philosophy" remains the same, i.e. starting from a base model, the user add/remove/modify particles, interactions and/or parameters, then run the script and finally edit the relevant coupling expressions.

    2543Compare to the first version, it has the following advantages:
    26    * Fully compatible with (and ''only'' with) all models produced by [http://feynrules.phys.ucl.ac.be FeynRules], so the base model can be the SM but also any other model previously produced, including those produced by the {{{USRMOD}}} v2 itself!
    27    * No limitation for the possible modifications. The {{{USRMOD}}} v2 propose to first save a "copy" of the base model and adjust all files to reflects the user changes.

     47   * No limitation for the possible modifications. The {{{
     48USRMOD
     49}}} v2 propose to first save a "copy" of the base model and adjust all files to reflects the user changes.
    2850   * Safer thanks to additional internal consistency checks
    2951   * Evolutive object-oriented Python code
