Running MCatNLO
This page describes how to produce simulated events in the ATLAS detector using the MCatNLO generator. The page is set up so that you can start from scratch, but since most people will produce many events some python scripts have been added that were used for the Rome production. These scripts are not brilliant, but should be used as a guideline for future use.
The three steps to success when using MCatNLO
Producing events in ATLAS using MCatNLO can be split up in three separate steps:
