Comments:
- Cross sections calculator
- Exact LO and NLO matrix elements for 2->n multiparton
processes at hadron colliders
- Especially suited for gauge and Higgs boson(s)+jets
(including heavy flavour) productions
- Will be used at D0 to:
- calculate LO and NLO cross sections
- then to check LO and NLO parton level kinematical distributions
- Programming Language: Fortran 77
- Correct handling of parton flavour, color
and polarization
- Current D0 version: v3.4.5 (23 December 2003)
