VBFNLO: A parton level Monte Carlo for processes with electroweak bosons -- Manual for Version 2.7.0

VBFNLO is a flexible parton level Monte Carlo program for the simulation of vector boson fusion (VBF), QCD induced single and double vector boson production plus two jets, and double and triple vector boson production (plus jet) in hadronic collisions at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the strong coupling constant, as well as Higgs boson plus two jet production via gluon fusion at the one-loop level. For the new version -- Version 2.7.0 -- several major enhancements have been included into VBFNLO. The following new production processes have been added: $W\gamma jj$ in VBF, $HHjj$ in VBF, $W$, $Wj$, $WH$, $WHj$, $pp\to \text{Spin-2}jj$ in VBF (with $\text{Spin-2}\to WW/ZZ\to\text{leptons}$) and the QCD induced processes $WZjj$, $W\gamma jj$, $W^\pm W^\pm jj$ and $Wjj$ production. The implementation of anomalous gauge boson couplings has been extended to all triboson and VBF $VVjj$ processes, with an enlarged set of operators yielding anomalous couplings. Finally, semileptonic decay modes of the vector bosons are now available for many processes, including $VVjj$ in VBF, $VVV$ and $VV\gamma$ production.
