The FormCalc package automates the computation of FeynArts amplitudes up to one loop including the generation of a Fortran code for the numerical evaluation of the squared matrix element. Major new or enhanced features in Version 5 are: iterative build-up of essentially arbitrary phase-spaces including cuts, convolution with density functions, and uniform treatment of kinematical variables. The LoopTools library supplies the one-loop integrals necessary for evaluating the squared matrix element. Its most significant extensions in Version 2.2 are the five-point family of integrals, and complex and alternate versions.

Three programs are presented for automatically generating and calculating Feynman diagrams: the diagrams are generated with FeynArts, algebraically simplified with FormCalc, and finally evaluated numerically using the LoopTools package. The calculations are performed analytically as far as possible, with results given in a form well suited for numerical evaluation. The latter is then straightforward using the implementations of the one-loop integrals in LoopTools.

This article describes three Mathematica packages for the automatic calculation of one-loop Feynman diagrams: the diagrams are generated with FeynArts, algebraically simplified with FormCalc, and finally evaluated numerically using the LoopTools package. The calculations are performed analytically as far as possible, with results given in a form well suited for numerical evaluation. The latter is straightforward with the utility programs provided by FormCalc (e.g. for transla...

A set of programs is presented for automatically generating and calculating Feynman diagrams. Diagrams are generated with FeynArts, then algebraically simplified using a combination of Mathematica and FORM implemented in the package FormCalc, and finally evaluated numerically using the LoopTools package. FormCalc works either in dimensional regularization or in constrained differential renormalization, the latter of which is equivalent at the one-loop level to regularization ...

FormCalc is a matrix-element generator that turns FeynArts amplitudes up to one loop into a Fortran code for computing the squared matrix element. The generated code can be run with FormCalc's own driver programs or used with other `frontends', e.g. Monte Carlos. Major new or enhanced features in Version 4.1 are: treatment of external fermions, phase-space integration, code-generation functions, extensions for the MSSM, the HadCalc frontend.

FormCalc is a Mathematica package for the automatic computation of tree-level and one-loop Feynman amplitudes. It accepts diagrams generated by FeynArts, simplifies them, and generates a complete Fortran code for their numerical evaluation. Version 4 includes new features which enhance performance, convenience of use, and modularity/code reusability.

aITALC, a new tool for automating loop calculations in high energy physics, is described. The package creates Fortran code for two-fermion scattering processes automatically, starting from the generation and analysis of the Feynman graphs. We describe the modules of the tool, the intercommunication between them and illustrate its use with three examples.

We present GoSam 2.0, a fully automated framework for the generation and evaluation of one loop amplitudes in multi leg processes. The new version offers numerous improvements both on generational aspects as well as on the reduction side. This leads to a faster and more stable code for calculations within and beyond the Standard Model. Furthermore it contains the extended version of the standardized interface to Monte Carlo programs which allows for an easy combination with o...
