Default Factorization and Renormalization Scales
Hi MadGraph Team,
Sorry to ask a basic question, but I'm trying to understand the default factorization and renormalization scale in MG.
I see the description in,
https:/
and also some previous questions about it, but these still don't make it entirely clear to me?
As an example, I'm generating p p > j ve ve~ at LO in MGv2.3.3, and trying to understand the scale used.
From https:/
"set to the central mT^2 scale after kT-clustering of the event".
My question regarding this:
If I only have 1 jet (pp > j ve ve~), is my 2->3 event being clustered back to a 2->2 event (are the 2 neutrinos being "clustered" back to the Z they come from)? Or does this clustering only apply to multi-jet or merged samples, so in this case we take the central mT^2 scale for all 3 final state particles? Or as the neutrinos come from a Z, is the scale just mT^2 of the Z (which is not the central mT^2 of the event)?
Is there any reference to an explicit algorithm or equation?
Thanks in advance,
Marc
