Turning off top decay

Asked by Eric Culbertson

Hello, my name is Eric Culbertson. I am an undergraduate student working under Professor Chris Neu. I would like to turn off top decay when generating ttbb at NLO. How can I do this?

I found these lines inside madspin_card.dat. Should I modify these in some way?

decay t > w+ b, w+ > all all
decay t~ > w- b~, w- > all all

Thanks
Eric

Hi Eric,

Turning off MadSpin should be enough in this case.

Cheers,

Olivier
