Questions Regarding quark-gluon and gluon -gluon fusions

Asked by Arindam Das

Dear Madgraph Team,

I have a question regarding the quark-gluon and gluon-gluon fusions .

I am trying to create the following processes separately.

The processes are :

p g > w- z j , w- > e- ve~ , z > e+ e-

p g > w- z j j , w- > e- ve~ , z > e+ e-

and

g g > w- z j j , w- > e- ve~ , z > e+ e-

I have the question regading the renormalization and factorization scales given in the default run_card.dat

**********************************************************************
# Renormalization and factorization scales *
#*********************************************************************
 F = fixed_ren_scale ! if .true. use fixed ren scale
 F = fixed_fac_scale ! if .true. use fixed fac scale
 91.1880 = scale ! fixed ren scale
 91.1880 = dsqrt_q2fact1 ! fixed fact scale for pdf1
 91.1880 = dsqrt_q2fact2 ! fixed fact scale for pdf2
 1 = scalefact ! scale factor for event-by-event scales
______________________________________________________________________________

For the above processes will the above values remain the same as given in the default run_card.dat ?

If not, then what should be the correct values for the parameters given above for the quark-gluon and gluon-gluon fusions ?

Thanks and Regards,

Arindam

Sorry but I don't understand your question.

The run_card is independant of the process, and we don't modify it depending of the initial process.
Those value are fine both for qq qg and gg initial state.

Dear Oliver,

Thanks for the reply.
I just wanted the answer you have written in the second and third lines.

"The run_card.........process. Those.....state."

Thanks a lot man.
