!MadGraph5 Syntax For generate events

Compare to MG4 the syntax is basically the same but

  1. All particles should be separated with a spaces
    write this:
       w+ > ve e+
    and not:
       w+>vee+
    
  2. The coupling is specify after the process in the same line. Please note that:
    1. Note that contrary to !MG4 the default for the coupling is to infinity
    2. couplings are case sensitive
      write this:
         w+ > ve e+ QED=2
      and not:
         w+>ve e+ qed=2
      
  3. you can still use the special tag at the end of the process
    1. "/" fordids the following particles to appear in the process
    2. "$" fordids the following particles to appear in a S-Channel
  1. The syntax for decay chain is different.
    1. In !MG5 the production process is separated from the decay by a coma.
    2. Each part can be restricted by couplings/ special tag restrictions
      write this:
         g g > t t~ QED=0 /a, (t > b W+, W+ > l+ vl), t~ >j j j QCD=0
      and not:
         g g > (t >b (W+ >l+vl))(t~> j j j)      
      

Note that If you run MG5 on MG4 proc_card. for a decay chains, then the couplings restriction will be applied only on the core process.
