Confusion between MadGraph and MadEvent

Asked by Caue Evangelista

Hi everyone.

First of all: I want to apologize for my question, it's a very basic one.

Recently I read a post about the processing chain of a event, and the chain was as follows:

MadGraph -> MadEvent -> Pythia or Herwig -> Delphes

I found myself a little confuse about the diference between MadGraph and MadEvent.

You right the correct chain of processing for an event is actually:

> MadEvent -> Pythia or Herwig -> Delphes

MadGraph is just a code creating the MadEvent code specialised for the process under-consideration.
MadEvent is just one of the Many code that can be created by MadGraph5_aMC@NLO (the full name of the code).

Cheers,

Olivier
