\midheading*{MCFM - Monte Carlo for FeMtobarn processes}

Authors: John Campbell, Keith Ellis, Tobias Neumann, Ciaran Williams

This is the homepage for the parton-level Monte Carlo program
MCFM. The program calculates cross-sections for various
femtobarn-level processes at hadron-hadron colliders. A number of
processes can be calculated at NNLO order in QCD, while most other
processes are included at NLO order in QCD. The calculation of some
processes can also account for next-to-leading order weak effects. For
more details, look at \href{\mcfmprocs/proclist.html}{list of available processes}
and view the documentation (PDF) with a full list of references. 

\bottomheading*{Documentation}
The full~\href{\mcfmprocs/proclist.html}{list of processes} with links to web-pages
for every process, where examples of input files can be found.
Manuals can be found in Docs/manual.pdf and Docs/cute-mcfm.pdf bundled with MCFM.

Download and changelog for~\href{https://mcfm.fnal.gov/downloads/earlier_versions.html}{earlier versions of MCFM10 and MCFM9}
and \href{https://mcfm.fnal.gov/downloads/much_earlier_versions.html}{versions prior to MCFM10 and MCFM9}

\bottomheading*{Installation}
The only prerequisites are GNU gcc/g++/gfortran compilers of version 7 or greater and cmake greater than version 3.

In the simplest case the compilation can be done with (e.g. with gfortran)
\begin{verbatim}
tar -zxvf MCFM-10.2.2.tar.gz
cd mcfm/Bin 
cmake -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=gfortran -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++  ..
make
\end{verbatim}
which uses the bundled LHAPDF. For more options and troubleshooting please see INSTALL and Docs/manual.pdf.
