Return matrix element squared of all terms

Hi,

This would require 21 different call to the loop reduction algorithm and therefore slow down the computation by a factor 21. So no this is not possible in one go.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

That means that if I want to have access to the individual matrix elements I need to generate the corresponding diagrams separately right? That I know how to do so it should be ok. But then how can I access the matrix element instead of the cross section?

Cheers,
Ana Luísa

Hi,

You have to generate the process like this:
generate g g > h1 h1 [virt=QCD]
output

Then you have a standalone code for the evaluation of the matrix-element and nothing else.

Hello,

Thank you! Just a final question: I generated just like you suggested and it worked. However, I get the following output:

 Unknown numerical stability because MadLoop is in the initialization stage.
 MadLoop return code = 130
 ---------------------------------
 ---------------------------------
  This is a loop induced process, so only the
  unnormalized finite part is output here. Be aware
  that all loops are expected to beUV-finite as no
  renormalization prescription is considered.

I am not sure what this MadLoop return code means. Does this message mean that some terms are not being taken into account ?
