NCG in MadGraph, is it possible?

Hi,

> "LorentzObjectRepresentationError : Invalid addition. Object doen't have the same lorentz indices : [-1, 3] != [-3, -2]"

This means that one of your lorentz structure is of the type
P^\mu + P^\nu
(i.e. a sum where the uncontracted indices are not the same)

This is obviously outside of our confort zone.

Few issue that i can think of:
1) Your lorentz structure should not be of the form above
2) We assume the CPT theorem (and therefore particles and anti-particles have the same width)
3) If you want to use the phase-space integration, we always generate the events in the CMS frame. (and evaluate the matrix-element in that frame) then before writting the events, we boost it in the frame defined in the configuration file.

It is possible that other issue can be present but like that I only see the above ones.

Cheers,

Olivier
