Definition of drjj parameter in the run card

Hi,

> Could you please tell me how drjj is define in MadGraph?

So in madgraph the cuts is done in file SubProcesses/cuts.f around line 440:

> c DeltaR min & max cuts
> c
> do i=nincoming+1,nexternal-1
> do j=i+1,nexternal
> if(debug) write (*,*) 'r2(',i, ',' ,j,')=',dsqrt(r2(p(0,i),p(0,j)))
> if(debug) write (*,*) dsqrt(r2min(j,i)),dsqrt(r2max(j,i))
> if(r2min(j,i).gt.0.or.r2max(j,i).ge.0d0) then
> tmp=r2(p(0,i),p(0,j))
> notgood=(tmp .lt. r2min(j,i)).or.
> $ (r2max(j,i).ge.0d0 .and. tmp .gt. r2max(j,i))
> if (notgood) then
> if(debug) write (*,*) i,j,' -> fails'

> return
> endif

As you can see here this is the same function called for drjj, drll, draj.
the definition of r2min(j,i) and r2max(j,i) are done inside setcuts.f:
with the following lines:

               if(is_a_j(i).and.is_a_j(j)) r2min(j,i)=drjj
               if(is_a_j(i).and.is_a_j(j)) r2max(j,i)=drjjmax

Note that the value of r2min is printed in the log of each individual channel of integration.

The definition of the r2 function is done in Source/kin_functions.f (around line 40)

The function DELPHI is defined in line 162 of the same file:

> c************************************************************************
> c Returns separation in phi of two particles p1,p2

> TEMP = MIN( 0.99999999D0, TEMP)
> DELTA_PHI = ACOS(TEMP)
> END

and the function rap is defined in line 95 (again same file)

No. But be carefull about the following parameter:
But note that in presence of MLM matching/merging (ickkw=1) we assume those cuts to be zero. (you should see that in the log actually).
(to be 100% sure please check the log of any channel of integration)

No

No

Cheers,

Dear Oliver,
 thank you very much!

You helped me a lot!

PS I just found an error in implementation of deltaR in my code.

Now my computations agree with MAdGraph.

With best regards,
