7 A Roadmap for the LHC Workload is tripled, due to disconnected fields of expertise. Error-prone, painful validation at each step. Proliferation of private MC s/pythia tunings: No clear documentation. Not traceable. We need more than just papers to communicate between theorists and experimentalists!

10 FeynRules in a nutshell FeynRules is a Mathematica package that allows to derive Feynman rules from a Lagrangian. Current public version: , available from The only requirements on the Lagrangian are: All indices need to be contracted (Lorentz and gauge invariance) Locality Supported field types: spin 0, 1/2, 1, 2 & ghosts

11 FeynRules in a nutshell FeynRules comes with a set of interfaces, that allow to export the Feynman rules to various matrix element Introduction generators.

13 FeynRules in a nutshell The input requested form the user is twofold. The Model File: Definitions of particles and parameters (e.g., a quark) F[1] == {ClassName -> q, SelfConjugate -> False, Indices -> {Index[Colour]}, Mass -> {MQ, 200}, Width -> {WQ, 5} } The Lagrangian: L = 1 4 Ga µν G µν a + i q γ µ D µ q M q qq L = -1/4 FS[G,mu,nu,a] FS[G,mu,nu,a] + I qbar.ga[mu].del[q,mu] - MQ qbar.q

14 FeynRules in a nutshell Once this information has been provided, FeynRules can be used to compute the Feynman rules for the model: FeynmanRules[ L ]

15 FeynRules in a nutshell Once this information has been provided, FeynRules can be used to compute the Feynman rules for the model: FeynmanRules[ L ]

16 FeynRules in a nutshell Equivalently, we can export the Feynman rules to a matrix element generator, e.g., for MadGraph 4, WriteMGOutput[ L ] This produces a set of files that can be directly used in the matrix element generator ( plug n play ). interactions.dat q q G GG QCD G G G MGVX1 QCD G G G G MGVX2 QCD QCD particles.dat q q~ F S ZERO ZERO T d 1 G G V C ZERO ZERO O G 21 couplings.dat GG(1) = -G GG(1) = -G MGVX1 = G MGVX2 = G^2

23 Implemented models: (Effective) Strongly interacting Little Higgs (C. Degrande) Composite Top model (C. Degrande) Chiral perturbation theory (C. Degrande) * available at

24 Improvements for the future FeynRules can handle mixing of particles, however the mass matrices must be diagonalized manually by the user. SUSY models have to be implemented in component fields. Many interfaces are running, but matrix element generators can only handle a very limited set of color/ Lorentz structures.

25 New Developments In spring 2010, we locked up 13 experts in a room in a nice monastry for 5 days, and let them gather new ideas... FeynRules 2010 Workshop Idea: Lock 13 experts in a (very nice) Monaster Exceptional interactions with MC s developers As a result, many new projects got started (in fact too many to review them all here...)

42 The UFO (P. de Aquino, CD, D. Grellscheid, W. Link, O. Mattelaer) UFO = Universal FeynRules Output Idea: Create Python modules that can be linked to other codes and contain all the information on a given model. The UFO is a self-contained Python code, and not tied to a specific matrix element generator. The content of the FR model files, together with the vertices, is translated into a library of Python objects, that can be linked to other codes. Golem, MadGraph 5 and Herwig++ will use the UFO.

43 The UFO & ALOHA The development of the UFO goes hand in hand with the development of ALOHA. Idea: ALOHA uses the information contained in the UFO to create the required HELAS routines on the fly! particles.py } vertices.py couplings.py MG 5 lorentz.py ALOHA UFO

48 Validation of new models FeynRules does not only provide the power to develop and validate new models, but also to validate them to an unprecendented level! A given model can be output to more than one matrix element generator, and their results can be compared Different conventions Different gauges Different ways of handling large cancellations. This procedure can easily be automatized!

54 A look into the future... The future release of FeynRules will allow even more to develop new models. study the phenomenology of new models. validate new implementations. However we still need to communicate the models to the experimentalists... Idea: Theory paper on the arxiv are not enough to communicate new ideas. so why not getting the model implementations directly instead?

55 Towards a database of models...

56 Conclusion The LHC is running, and we have to stay tuned! FeynRules is ready to cope with a large variety of models, ranging from model building, over phenomenology to experimental analysis. In particular, the chain UFO -> ALOHA -> MG5 is working flowlessly so far, making MG5 the probably most flexible BSM tool on the market.
