==== Software.MadGraph prolegomena ====

   * Logon to the Software.MadGraph [http://madgraph.phys.ucl.ac.be web site] and register. 

   * Familiarize with the code by generating a few processes in QED and QCD trying to guess which diagrams appear. What is the minimum number of jets have to be asked for in %$e^+e^-$% collisions so that the triple gauge vertex appear? 

   * Look at the new physics models and check the particle and interactions content.

   * Generate events for a few selected processes and look at the plots:
      * ttbar production with decays: pp>tt~>bb~mu+e-ve~vm
      * VV production: pp>VV> leptons, with V=Z,W.  
      * Single top + Higgs: pp>tHj  (QCD=0, QED=3, j=gudsc,p=gudscb). Show that there is a large negative interference between the diagrams
