McMule -- a Monte Carlo generator for low energy processes

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2025-01-08 v1

Abstract

McMule, a Monte Carlo for MUons and other LEptons, implements many major QED processes at NNLO (eg. eeeeee\to ee, eμeμe\mu\to e\mu, eeμμee\to\mu\mu, pp\ell p\to\ell p, μννˉe\mu\to\nu\bar\nu e) including effects from the lepton masses, making it suitable for predictions for low-energy experiments such as MUonE, CMD-III, PRad, or MUSE. Recently, McMule gained the ability to generate events at NNLO rather than just pre-defined differential distributions. To avoid negative event weights, it employs cellular resampling directly as part of the generation step which further reduces the fraction of negative weights.
