NLO loop induced processes

Hi,

We cannot handle loop-induced processes at NLO since we can not compute the two loop-diagrams. So this is a LO one loop computation.

My advise here would be to look at the generated diagram to check if you have or not the contribution.
This being said, this contribution should not be included in the NLO computation since it is part of the NNLO. Indeed it does not have any tree-level diagram to interfere with and the first contribution of this diagram is the diagram squared against himself.

Cheers,
