Invariant mass cut on different flavor leptons

Asked by Robert Morgan

Hello,

I want to make a cut on the invariant mass on a pair of different flavor leptons and I am wondering if the mmll parameter in the run card works for only the same flavor leptons. Specifically, I want to place a cut on the invariant mass of a muon and a tau. Is changing the parameter in the run card enough to get madgraph to do what I am asking?

Thanks in advance!

Robert

It does yes.

no it will not.

You have to modified either setcuts.f or cuts.f to implement such a cut.

Cheers,

Olivier
