Choose selection cuts at NLO

Asked by kamuran

Dear Experts,

I am trying to choose selection cuts at NLO, but I cannot see an option for maximum limit. For example, I am generating p p > l+ l- j[QCD] and would like to select maximum invariant mass for leptons = 116 GeV. However, I could not find an option for maximum mass inside "run_card.dat". Can anyone help for this?

Best regards,
Kamuran

ps: The selection option is available for LO accuracy.

For custom user-defined cuts, you will have to modify a couple of fortran
files of your NLO process output, similarly to what is done at LO when the
desired cut is not available in the run_card.dat. You can find instructions
on how to do so on this wiki FAQ page:
