Error with NLO HC model

Asked by Afiq Aize

Hi,

I'm reporting an error when generating events. I don't know what's the issue so I'm just posting what I did [1] and the message I got following the last step [2].

Any instructions on how to deal with the issue is appreciated.

Best regards,
Afiq

Hi Afiq,

as discussed in

https://answers.launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo/+question/280301

only HC_NLO_X0-heft has the H-g-g interactions in the heavy top limit.

I guess you want to simulate heavy H production decaying into a pair of on-shell top quarks
(+ leptonic top decays). But, again, we cannot simulate this process at NLO in our framework.

cheers,
Kentarou

Hi Kentarou,

But this time the -heft was not used, as can be seen in the steps . Does this mean that the model simply cannot do this process at all for the moment?

Best regards,
Afiq

Hi Afiq,

Without -heft, there is no pp(gg) > x0. You can still do for VBF and VH productions.

cheers,
Kentarou
