Negative Crosssection is the output and no events are getting generated.

Asked by Atanu Guha

Dear Sir,

 I am getting a strange problem while incorporating polarization by the following code (only relevant parts I am giving). Without the polarization option the code s working perfectly fine. But for the given polarization choice (+80,+30) it yields negative crossection and no events are being generated.

Please suggest me if I am doing anything wrong.

Hello,
without kinematical cut on the electron, this process is divergent. This
is the reason of your problem. You should apply, for example pt >20 cut
on the photon.

P.S.

I meant
"without kinematical cut on the PHOTON this process is divergent. "
PT>20GeV cut on the poton
i.e.
T(A)>20
will solve the problem just put this instruction (see example in the batch template which comes with CalcHEP)

Ok. I put

########
Cut parameter: T(A)
Cut invert: False
Cut min: 10
Cut max: 500

Cut parameter: E(A)
Cut invert: False
Cut min: 10
Cut max: 500

Cut parameter: Y(A)
Cut invert: False
Cut min: -2.5
Cut max: +2.5
#########

Ok, I am checking the modification.

T(A) is enough

Ok. But including these also did not solve the problem. If I remove the polarization, then only the problem is solved.

Hii.. I modified my code... and this is the modified version now. Still I am facing the same issue.

Hi.... Sorry.....

Hi...

I found my problem...

Polarization1:0.8
Polarization2:0.3

This choice is making the problem. Maximum polarization is 0.5, so if I need to use 80% porlaized beam, I should set the value 0.5*0.8... right?

This is correct
80% -> 0.5*0.8

Alexander

P.S.
You can cross check your results with zero polarization

for
Process: e%,E%->n,N,A
and
Polarization1:0.0
Polarization2:0.0

you should get the same cross section as for
Process: e,E->n,N,A

Thanks Alexander Belyaev, that solved my question.
