Validity of madgraph for fixed target experiments
Hello,
I would like to use MadGraph for a sensitivity study using a fixed target experiment. I know that MadGraph is normally used for collider experiments, but I see no reason why it should not work in my case as well. However, I want to make sure that this is so.
For instance, one of the processes I am interested in is a neutral-current deep inelastic scattering event, where a lepton arrives to the target and interacts via NC, producing a jet in the final state:
l p > l j
In order to make sure I am in this regime (so that the parton model is valid), I am applying a cut of 1 GeV to the energy and Pt of the jets in the final state. Is MadGraph reliable for this type of calculation? Is there something else I should be taking care of, besides the cuts on the jet in the final state?
Many thanks in advance!
