Inelastic scattering in maddump

Hi,

In principle, you can do the following:
add process XXXXXXXXXX @electron
or if you have issue with the above one
add process XXXXXXXXXX @1200

Where XXXXXXXXXXX is a valid madgraph syntax for your process.
so for example
add process e- X1 > e- X1 @electron
add process e- X2 > e- X2 @electron

Now I doubt that this has been tested in the past so no clue if this is going to work.

Cheers,

Olivier

Then I would like to simulate the dark sector particles' interaction with electrons in the detector. Something like X2 e- > X1 e- , where X2 and X1 are the dark sector, and dark matter particles. Is it possible to simulate this in Maddump? If so, how?

Dear Olivier,

Thank you very much. I think your solution works!

Amalia

Dear Amalia, Olivier,

just to confirm that the solution suggested by Olivier should work
(in particular, I quickly tried the command
add process XXXXXXXXXX @electron)

Best,
Luca

p.s sorry Amalia, I did not see your last message!

Best,
