Large width will contribute to on-shell propagator
Asked by
ParticleCat
As I generate the events with an off-shell proceess as t-channel.
The fermion propagator N have a decay mode N -> W^+ l^- and the width will even greater than the mass of N around M_N>10M_W.
Compare the simulation result with the analytic formula it seems the MadGraph put the width in the propagator.
For off-shell propagator with t-channel, the momentum transfer is space-like.
The width should not contribute to the process.
However, if I set the width myself but not use the "auto" syntax, will I got a wrong answer in the s-channel ?
