2hdm simulation: problem with decay chains

Asked by Sabine Kraml

Hi,

I want to simulate p p > h3, h3 > h1 z, h1 > a a (or some other h1 decay mode) in two-Higgs doublet models. On https://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/projects/madgraph/wiki/Models I found that the 2hdm is available only as a MadGraph4 model, so I downloaded and installed MG_ME_V4.5.2.

Following the instructions in the README file and using 2hdm_full, I can generate p p > h3, h3 > h1 z or p p > h3 > h1 z alright. But as soon as I try to add a h1 decay, the program reports "No diagrams for this process".

What am I doing wrong?

By the way, I also tried the process generation via the web interface, where one can still chose 2HDM, but it ends in a bunch of errors.

Hope you can help,
Sabine

Hi Sabine,

Actually MadGraph4 models are still compatible with (most of the functionality of) MG5aMC.
So I would not advise you to use MG_ME for such computation (and I will not provide any support for that version of the code).

Now 2HDM model also exists in UFO.
If you have the latest version of the code,
you can do
import model 2HDM
or
import model 2HDMtII_NLO
and MG5aMC will automatically download the associate model from the FeynRules server.

Cheers,

Olivier

PS: Note that we plan to drop the support of MadGraph4 model inside MG5aMC in a near future.
PPS: Note that the decay of h1 into photon might not be included by default.

Hi,

I have MG5_aMC_v2_6_0 and MG5_aMC_v2_6_1. In v2_6_0, there is a 2HDM
model, but it did not work (and indeed it does not include an
effective h-gamma-gamma vertex). v2_6_1 does not have any 2HDM model
any more. That's why I resorted to MG_ME.

Will try whether the automatic model download which you mention works.
But then, why does the generation on the MG5aNLO webpage not work?

Cheers, Sabine

Hi,

The auto-download of 2HDM in 2.6.1 should in principle provides the same model as the on present in 2.6.0

Otherwise, did you put correctly the paranthesis?

>>> p p > h3, h3 > h1 z, h1 > a a
is indeed not valid. You should use:

>>> p p > h3, ( h3 > h1 z, h1 > a a)

otherwise the h1 decay is expected to come from the production p p > h3

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi,

I had tried various versions of writing the process, including p p >
h3 > h1 z, (h1 > a a)
but not the syntax you suggest. Will try again. Thanks!

Have a good evening,
Sabine
