Generating the merged gg->4l+0,1,2j
Dear MG5aMC team,
I would like to generate the process gg->4l+jets, with 0/1/2 jets at the ME-level and merging them (using mg5aMC 2.3.3)
First, is it possible at all to go beyond 0jets (4 outgoing-legs) for a loop-induced computation at that stage ?
Now the actual issue I saw is the following : the gg->4l+0,1j are both loop-induced and computed at LO by mg5amc which is fine and expected. But the gg->4l+2j has a tree-level component and hence using the [QCD] label implies it will be computed at NLO, however this label is required the compute the lower (loop-induced) jet multiplicities. I used the following command lines :
generate g g > l+ l- l+ l- [QCD]
add process g g > l+ l- l+ l- j [QCD]
add process g g > l+ l- l+ l- j j #The [QCD] label seems to be inherited from the previous lines
I also tried to invert the lines and put the l+ l- l+ l- j j in the "generate" line
In the generated HTML file I only see the information about the last gg->4l+2j diagrams
So my question are : is it possible to force the 4l+2j component to be computed only at LO too ? Is there a way to merge various components computed at different orders ? Or is there a cleaner way to do all this (one run/multiplicities at LO then using pythia to merge everything ?) ?
Thanks
Kind regards
Cyril
