Can we use initial radiation particle to generate process?

Hi,

Did you set the PDF to None (lpp=0) in that case?
Looks like the default for that process is lpp1=lpp2=1 which means PDF from proton which are zero.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

    Set lpp=0 works. It calculated the cross section. But I guess this is not the "real" cross section from p radiate a w and wb->th in pp collider? Is there any way to ask MadGraph do the radiation and use the radiation particle to react?

Best,

Hi,

No we do not have that built-in.

My first question here is how do you compute that?
Do you have an analytic formula for the “PDF” of the photon (like for the elastic photon?)
or are you using some special pdf for that?

In both case, it should be possible to hack MG5 to accommodate it (but you are likely to meet efficiency problem with the phase-space integrator which are not trivial to solve)

Cheers,

Olivier
