QCD renormalization and factorization scales

Asked by Marco Merchand

Dear Calchep Experts

I am studying the process p, p ->jet, ~X, ~X within the IDM and I want to set the QCD scale for renormalization and factorization Q to be equal to the transverse momentum, T(~X,~X), of the DM pair.

I've read through the manuals and I found one can set it, e.g., via the GUI interface as Qren=T3+T4.

I tried this but I am not getting the right answer. Is this the right approach ?

With regard to the factorization where is the option to change it to what I need?

Thanks
Marco

   Try  T(~X,~X)

   or

T(p*)    where p* is defined in "Aliases"

Sorry, folr scale it has to be

T("p*")

I tried using both T("~X","~X") and T("p*") and they work.

but they still don't give me the right answer. I'm off by about 2 orders of magnitude.

May be you need a cut  for  Pt of jet?

Wrong scale can not lead to  difference about  2 orders of magnitude.

A cut on the minimal value on the missing transverse momentum was applied

                  | min | max
T(~X,~X)| 100 |

also used I am supposed to used NNPDF23LO (as_0119_qed) but that is not included in the GUI so i am using
NNPDF23_lo_as_0130_qed(proton)

but i don't think this would lead to a 2 order of magnitude difference?

I can look at your model and process if you send me details to
<email address hidden>.

How you know correct answer?
