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.

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 squ...

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.

We present new developments in FeynArts 3.9 and FormCalc 8.4, in particular the MSSMCT model file including the complete one-loop renormalization, vectorization/parallelization issues, and the interface to the Ninja library for tensor reduction.

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 ...

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...

We describe the implementation of the MSSM in the diagram generator FeynArts and the calculational tool FormCalc. This extension allows to perform loop calculations of MSSM processes almost fully automatically. The actual implementation has two aspects: The MSSM Feynman rules are specified in a new model file for FeynArts. The computation of the parameters in the MSSM Lagrangian from the input parameters is realized as a Fortran subroutine in the framework of FormCalc. The mo...
