CalcHEP
• CalcHEP package is created for calculation of decay and high energy collision processes of elementary particle in tree approximation.
• The mean idea of CalcHEP is to make available passing from the Lagrangian to the final distribution effectively, with high level of automatization.
Some useful features CalcHEP
• You can restrict/specify the particle that enter the intermediate state.
• CalcHEP provides a menu of structure functions, including CTEQ6 series which can be used to help compute pp scattering
processes.
• You can apply cuts before computing cross sections, sometimes this is necessary to remove divergences.
• CalcHEP can perform calculations in various SUSY models; this is
require CERNLIB
• Limit on number of external legs (involved particles) and number of diagrams

CalcHEP limitations
• No Hadronic bound state.
• No loop o box diagrams.
• All processes are averaged over allowed initial-state spin polarizations and summed over final-state polarization.
• No neutrino oscillations.

Procedure for computing results 1. Specify decay or scattering process
2. View diagrams; can be written in latex, can delet selected diagrams
3. Square diagrams (can view)
4. Symbolic calculations
5. Write results
6. C code
7. C-compiler
8. Go to new window for numerical calculations
9. Select subprocess if applicable
10. Define cuts if desired
11. Vegas (Simpson if applicable)
12. Set distributions and ranges if desired
13. Integrate (2 < 1 for numerically consistent result)
14. View distribution
15. Generate events if desired 11
Setting Model Parameters
• I have studied the dependence of the total cross section on the mass of light Higgs mass for the tree level process
