Lepton collisions in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO

Abstract

MadGraph5_aMC@NLO is a software package that allows one to simulate processes of arbitrary complexity, at both the leading and the next-to-leading order perturbative accuracy, with or without matching and multi-jet merging to parton showers. It has been designed for, and so far primarily employed in the context of, hadronic collisions. In this note, we document the implementation of a few technical features that are necessary to extend its scope to realistic ee collider environments. We limit ourselves to discussing the unpolarized beam case, but we point out that the treatment of polarized beams is conceptually identical, and that the structure we set up can easily be extended to carry out simulations at muon colliders.
