Define coannihilators manually

Asked by Jose María Pérez Poyatos

Hi everyone:

I am working in a BSM model with a Z2 discrete symmetry that I implemented in Feynrules. When I define the dark matter particle, Maddm is suppose to recognize automatically all the rest Z2 odd particles. However, when I type "display z2-odd", not all of them are in the list and I can not choose as coannihilators those particles that do not belong to that list. Is there any way to tell Maddm manually the particles that I want to act as coannihilators? All of them share the same mass.

Jose M.

Did you check the define command ?
I guess that "define coannihilators XXX" should be the correct syntax, but please check
via
"help define "

Cheers,

Thank you very much for your quick answer:

Until now the procedure I followed is first use the"define darkmatter" command and then Maddm shows the Z2-odd particles (it does not include the full set of Z2-odd particles of my model). Then I try with the "define coannihilator" command and I only can select those particles it considers that are Z2-odd. Selecting another one, Maddm says, for instance:

define coannihilator ~xmmu

ERROR: '~xmmu' is not allowed (either does not exist or is not z2-odd or is a dark matter candidate). Particles allowed: ~eh-, ~muh-, ~tah-

I checked "help define" but it does not give me any hint about how to proceed. I also tried to type "define coannihilator" and then hit enter and it returns the same list of coannihilators as before

INFO: Found coannihilator(s): ~eh-, ~muh-, ~tah-

Is there anything that I am missing?

Thanks in advance,

JM

Hi,

to understand what the problem could be, we need to inspect your model.
Could you attach both the UFO model and all the FeynRules files and notebooks you used to export it?

Thanks.
