FormFlavor Manual
Jared A. Evans, David Shih

TL;DR
FormFlavor is a Mathematica tool that automates the calculation of flavor and CP observables in new physics models using one-loop Wilson coefficients and QCD RGEs, facilitating analysis of models like the MSSM.
Contribution
It introduces a comprehensive, modular framework for calculating flavor observables from scratch, including an up-to-date SM prediction component and easy extensibility for new models.
Findings
Automates Wilson coefficient calculations from FeynArts and FormCalc.
Includes an up-to-date, stand-alone package for SM predictions.
Designed for easy addition of new observables and models.
Abstract
This manual describes the usage and structure of FormFlavor, a Mathematica-based tool for computing a broad list of flavor and CP observables in general new physics models. Based on the powerful machinery of FeynArts and FormCalc, FormFlavor calculates the one-loop Wilson coefficients of the dimension 5 and 6 Standard Model effective Lagrangian entirely from scratch. These Wilson coefficients are then evolved down to the low scale using one-loop QCD RGEs, where they are transformed into flavor and CP observables. The last step is accomplished using a model-independent, largely stand-alone package called FFObservables that is included with FormFlavor. The SM predictions in FFObservables include up-to-date references and accurate current predictions. Using the functions and modular structure provided by FormFlavor, it is straightforward to add new observables. Currently, FormFlavor is set…
