We present McMule, a unified framework for the calculation of NLO and NNLO corrections to many processes in QED with massive fermions. This easily extendable program allows users to calculate an arbitrary observable for any of the processes…
McMule, a Monte Carlo for MUons and other LEptons, implements many major QED processes at NNLO (eg. $ee\to ee$, $e\mu\to e\mu$, $ee\to\mu\mu$, $\ell p\to\ell p$, $\mu\to\nu\bar\nu e$) including effects from the lepton masses, making it…
