Adding 2HDM to a SM process

Asked by Shanmuka

Hi,

I'm trying to generate p p > h1 > w+ ( or h+) w- > ta+ ta- vt vt~
via 2HDM and heft where "w-" is on-shell

So I tried the following:

import heft
generate p p > h1
import 2HDM
add process h1 > w+ w- > ta+ ta- vt vt~
add process h1 > h+ w- > ta+ ta- vt vt~
output ....
launch ....

And I get the following result:

Survey return zero cross section.
   Typical reasons are the following:
   1) A massive s-channel particle has a width set to zero.
   2) The pdf are zero for at least one of the initial state particles
      or you are using maxjetflavor=4 for initial state b:s.
   3) The cuts are too strong.
   Please check/correct your param_card and/or your run_card.

I looked at the cards, but don't see any problem. Also, I tried running the above without "add process h1 > h+ w- > ta+ ta- vt vt~" and get the above result again. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

The process need to be in only one model.
When you do import model
all the process define before are removed.

So would it be possible to run it as one process? Not sure how. Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Thanks.

Hi,

They are multiple way.

The best way is to use a model from FeynRules which has the dim5 operator and the 2HDM. This ensure full-consistency.
Since both model are available in FR it should be trivial to have a merged version.

A second method is to do the merge in MadGraph (but here no consistency check are done)
import model 2HDM
add model hgg_plugin
generate p p > h1, h1 > w- > ta+ ta- vt vt~

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi,

1).
So I tried the second suggestion. When merging models 2HDM and hgg_plugin, there will be two "h1". Madgraph renames the one associated with hgg_plugin as "h1__1". This allows the generation of p p > h1__1.

But, this "h1__1" is not coupled to the 2HDM particles. Hence, I can't simply try

import model 2HDM
add model hgg_plugin
generate p p > h1__1, h1__1 > w- > ta+ ta- vt vt~

I get the following response:

Command "generate p p > h1__1, h1__1 > w- > ta+ ta- vt vt~" interrupted with error:
InvalidCmd : No amplitudes generated from process Process: h1__1 > w-> ta+ ta- vt vt~ HIG=1 HIW=1 WEIGHTED=6. Please enter a valid process.

Please not that using "h1" instead of "h1__1" works but doesn't include the possibility g g > h1.

So in short I need a way to supplant the "h1" in 2HDM with "h1__1".

2).

I would like to try FeynRules. Do you know which packages to use for my process

p p > h1__1, h1__1 > w- > ta+ ta- vt vt~,

where 2HDM and g g >h1 are included?

Your time and consideration are very much appreciated.

Hi,

Feynrules is indeed what you need.
You have to create a valid UFO model from FeynRules and then you should be able to generate any processes for that model.

Okay. Thanks
