off shell decay

Asked by Charlie

Dear MadGraph Team,

I am doing a calculation:

g g > h2 , (h2 > h3 z , (h3 > b b~, z > l+ l-))

I want h3 to be on-shell and z to be off shell here,.

If I use g g > h2, (h2 > l+ l- h3 , h3 > b b~)

there will be some diagrams I don't need.

What should I do? Thanks a lot!

Best!
Charlie

Hi Charlie,

You can try the following syntax:
> g g > h2, (h2 > z > l+ l- h3 , h3 > b b~)

Note that since I have no clue of the model that you are using,
I'm not able to perform any check
 This is likely to produce only the Feynman diagram that you
ask for.
Note that the above syntax can break gauge (and consequently lorentz invariance)
so this is your responsability to check that the set of Feynman Diagram that you select is gauge invariant
both for the onshell and off-shell component. (off-shell Z typically need the associated photon contribution to be gauge invariant)

Cheers,

Olivier

Dear Olivier,

Thanks for your kindly reply.
I will take care of that. By the way I have another question:

I am using an analysis code to analysis the delphes/pgs root file.
It works well with pgs root file, but wrong with delphes root file, I wonder is there any difference in the format of this two,
so that to cause the problem.

Best!

Hi,

That I do not know,
You should contact Delphes author about that.

Cheers,

Olivier
