Towards a Complete Feynman Diagrams Automatic Computation System

Abstract

Complete Feynman diagram automatic computation systems are now coming of age after many years of development. They are made available to the high energy physics community through user-friendly interfaces. Theorists and experimentalists can benefit from these powerful packages for speeding up time consuming calculations and for preparing event generators. The general architecture of these packages is presented and the current development of the one-loop diagrams extension is discussed. A rapid description of the prominent packages and tools is then proposed. Finally, the necessity for defining a standardization scheme is heavily stressed for the benefit of developers and users.
