Auto width of a user defined particle

Asked by Aniket Joglekar

Hi,

I have a user defined model where I am trying to automatically calculate the width of a new particle. I have set "Auto" for width of the new particle in the param card and give command ./bin/generate_events.

It starts writing a new param_card.dat , but then comes to new particle width and stops. When I check the card it writes zero for the width of the particle. In the terminal it throws messages that read :

set automatic_html_opening False --no_save
compute_widths 9000006 --precision_channel=0.01 --body_decay=4.0025 --path=/data2/aniket/llp/MG5_aMC_v2_5_5/pp_chi_uds/Cards/param_card.dat --output=/data2/aniket/llp/MG5_aMC_v2_5_5/pp_chi_uds/Cards/param_card.dat
Please note that the automatic computation of the width is
    only valid in narrow-width approximation and at tree-level.

I found somewhat relevant discussion on the issue at https://answers.launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo/+question/225901

So my question is whether this is a Feynrules problems like on the link above of something more? Any ideas/hints?

Feynrules version used for model file generation is newer than the one in the link above.

Thanks,
Aniket

Here is some more info that might be useful:

I see 2 errors in above error messages namely:

1) "set max_npoint_for_channel 0" with error:
2) NameError : name 'myGGH' is not defined

I believe 0 is correct value in the first line as there are mo loops involved in the decay
For the second error I was wondering if something is wrong with gluon fusion. Following is the output of MG5_debug

set group_subprocesses Auto
set ignore_six_quark_processes False
set loop_optimized_output True
set low_mem_multicore_nlo_generation False
set loop_color_flows False
set gauge unitary
set complex_mass_scheme False
set max_npoint_for_channel 0

Hi Aniket,

I believe that your model contains some Form-Factor defined in fortran.
When this is the case, the model is not compatible with the automatic three-body computation (and therefore with the Auto option which is configured to check if the three body computation is relevant --this is actually that check which is failing--)

You should still be able to compute 2 body computation, if at the time of the question for the edition of the card you type
compute_widths 6 --body_decay=2

Since the error is in the computation of the relevance of the three-body decay, if you force the computation of the three body decay, it might be going trough as well (but I did not check).

If you really want the Auto feature, then you have to modify the model to use a pure python format.

Cheers,

Olivier
