mg5> define uds = u d s u~ d~ s~     # define the multiparticle uds as any one of the u, d and s quarks or their antiparticles
mg5> generate mu+ mu- > Z > uds uds  # calculate the diagrams for the process
                                     # use, eg., `add process mu+ mu- > Z > b b~' to add moreanother processes. 
mg5> output my-mumu-z-uds            # create a folder in the current directory.
mg5> open index.html                 # optional; view the generated diagrams and other information

Important note: If you want to do mu+ mu- > h > x x events to load this interaction vertex, be sure to execute `mg5> import model sm-full' before launching. The mu+ mu- > h vertex is disabled in the default sm model for performance reasons.

Now we can generate events and simulate their hadronization with Pythia.

WHIZARD 2 is a good tool for more precise cross section calculations because it computes every possible channel between the given initial and final states. One necessary restriction of this is that unlike MadGraph, you do not have control over the intermediate channels, such as whether your mu+ mu- > b b~ process is mediated by a Z or h boson. In addition, stdhep files generated by WHIZARD do not retain little Monte Carlo information about the event. Refer to the website for instructions on installing and using WHIZARD 2. We provide here a sample SINDARIN input file for a muon collider at 3TeV.
