Introduction

This is the documentation for JHUGenMELA, a package that produces Matrix Element Calculations as used in JHUGen and MCFM-JHUGen.

Documentation written by Mohit Srivastav in 2024.

Installation

Compile using

./setup.sh -j N # (N being the number of cores to compile, or blank for max. allowed)

The script decides whether to use integration with the experiments' software. Either the one in this folder, or that in the main JHUGenMELA folder works; they do the same thing. Feedback on how this script works in different environments is appreciated.

Once you compile, make sure to follow the on-screen instructions to set up all extra environment variables, i.e., run

eval $(./setup.sh env) # or equivalents in non-bash shells

etc...
