Tools

• ​BRIDGE: the MG/ME interface of the Branching ratio calculator and decayed events generator developed by Patrick Meade and Matt Reece.
• ​FeynRules: the Mathematica package to automatically write particles and interaction list as well as coupling analytical expressions.
• MadWeight : Matrix elements techniques developed using the MadGraph system
• Reweight module: producing weighted events from an unweighted sample
• SysCalc module: Produce the systematic uncertainty band by reweighting method.
• MadSpin: Decay of particles with full spin correlations and off-shell effect.

Interfaces

• HerwigInterface : the interface to the Herwig parton shower and hadronization library
• MadGraphInterface : the CMSSW interface for LHE event files
• PGS : the implementation of the Pretty Good Simulator in the MadGraph simulation chain
• Pythia Interface : the Pythia parton shower and hadronization package in the MadGraph simulation chain, including jet matching

Scripts

• SplitEvents: A script to split event files
• EventConverters: A set of tools to converts event files in various formats
• Replace: A script for replacing particles or groups of particles in LHE event files
• AddMasses: A script for adding masses to leptons and inserting W or Z mothers in the LHE event file

Plotting and Analysis

• MadAnalysis : the simple analysis tool of generated events using the TDPlot software.
• MatchChecker: A set of scripts to produce plenty of plots for matching validation and do comparisons between different matched (and standalone) productions
• ExRootAnalysis : the full ROOT interface including plotting interface and analysis classes.
