Using MadDipole and even downloading it is more complicated than one would think. This is what I did:
MG_ME_DIP_V?.?.?.tar.gz
. At the time of writing, the newest version seems to 4.5.2 which is an empty or corrupt tarball, however. If this is still the case, pick the next-to-latest version instead.MadGraphII
subdirectory of the unpacked archive and edit the makefile
. Change the Fortran compiler to gfortran
, i.e. change the line containing FF
to FF = gfortran
. Remove the option -i4
in the line containing the compiler flags, FFLAGS
.make
in the MadGraphhII
directory.Template
directory. You will later work with the copied directory, where MadDipole will create all of the neccessary files, i.e. the files for the dipoles, the integrated dipoles etc. for your process. It is therefore wise to name the copy after the process that you will generate.Cards/proc_card.dat
. This file must contain the real radiation process, i.e. the process with the additional gluon/photon.bin/newprocess
. If you unpacked your tarball somewhere in your homefolder this will take hours.
