Tip 10.1.2021: GoSam has been upgraded to python3 and moved to github.

The link below under "Installation" will lead to the new installation script.

Synopsis

The package GoSam allows for the automated calculation of one-loop amplitudes for multi-particle processes in renormalizable quantum field theories. The amplitudes, which are generated in terms of Feynman diagrams, can be reduced using either D-dimensional integrand-level decomposition or by tensor reduction. GoSam can be used to calculate one-loop QCD and/or electroweak corrections to Standard Model processes and offers the flexibility to link model files for theories Beyond the Standard Model. A standard interface (BLHA1, BLHA2) to programs calculating real radiation is also implemented.

Installation

Download the install script and run it with python3 gosam_installer.py.

For more information see the installation documentation.

Documentation

We refer to the GoSam-2.0 manual. The manual also contains a BLHA-HowTo in section 7.
