General Questions

  1. What is the meaning of [QCD] syntax?

    This adds one additional jet in the channel.
    
  2. What is the meaning of [noborn=QCD] syntax?

    Generally, all relevant matrix elements has three kind of diagrams. They are born (tree level diagrams), virtual and real-emission.
    
    One can use the different kind of syntax depending on the use. If we would like to ignore the tree level diagrams then we should use the syntax of [noborn=QCD].
    
    Other possibilities are [real=QCD] or [loop=QCD] to exclude the virtual diagrams.
    
  3. What is the meaning of the order QED/QCD?

    By default madgraph takes lowest order of QED and highest order of QCD.
