Higgs production via gluon fusion problem

Asked by Iris

Hi,

I am using MG5_aMC_v2.2.2. I tried to generate higgs through gluon fusion but I got an error message:
InvalidCmd : Born diagrams could not be generated for the process: g g > h WEIGHTED=4 [ all = QCD ]. Notice that aMC@NLO does not handle loop-induced processes yet, but you can still use MadLoop if you want to only generate them. For this, use the 'virt=' mode, without multiparticle labels.

I also tried adding hgg_plugin, but another error popped up:
Command "add model hgg_plugin" interrupted with error:
USRMODERROR : Base Model doesn't follows UFO convention
Please report this bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/madgraph5
More information is found in 'MG5_debug'.
Please attach this file to your report.

Is it because of my version? Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

You can do it via
import model heft
generate g g > h

This use EFT approximation obviously.
If you want the full loop computation with full mass effect,
then yes this is not possible with your version and you need to update.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for your prompt response. When I tried to update my version, this message showed up:

Error detected in "install update"
write debug file MG5_debug
If you need help with this issue please contact us on https://answers.launchpad.net/madgraph5
MadGraph5Error : This version of MG5 doesn't support auto-update. Common reasons are:
             1) This version was loaded via bazaar (use bzr pull to update instead).
             2) This version is a beta release of MG5.

Does that mean that I need to install everything from scratch if I want to use the latest version?

Yes, you should.

For such big gap of version this is the advised method anyway.

Cheers,

Olivier
