An introductory tutorial of tools for high-energy physics beyond the Standard Model:
- Lecture A: automated calculation of Feynman diagrams with FeynArts / FormCalc / LoopTools / FeynRules
- Lecture B: Monte Carlo simulation of collider physics with MadGraph5_aMC@NLO
Lecture slides are available at http://misho104.github.io/FeynLecture/.
See Lecture slides.
