| 6 | ==== 1. ==== |
| 7 | Use MadGraph at tree level to generate 10k parton-level events for pp>tt~>bb~mu+e-vmve~, i.e., the 2->6 complete matrix element at the Tevatron and the LHC. |

| 9 | ==== 2. ==== |
| 10 | Study the one-particle and two-particle inclusive distributions using an event analyser (MadAnalysis or Chameleon or anything you like). |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ==== 3. ==== |
| 13 | Consider the angles %$\theta_{+,-}$ defined in the lecture and plot the 2 dimensional distribution. Apply invariant mass cuts to enhance the correlations. |
