Missing decays with bottom quarks after upgrading to v2.3
Dear aMC@NLO team,
We noticed that by changing from version v2.2 to v2.3 of aMC@NLO, the Z->bb decay went missing from our final state, as evidenced by this line on the log file:
> Pass the definition of 'j' and 'p' to 4 flavour scheme.
We know this is triggered by the fact that we’re using a massive b in our proton definition. We understand that v2.3 fixes this inconsistency by forcing 4FNS for the proton, but we would like to understand if the change to the jets (“j”) is intended and if so, why. Unfortunately, this update between versions resulted in missing decays (e.g. z > j j). Can you please provide more information?
I am pasting the relevant portion of the card below:
set group_subprocesses Auto
set ignore_
set gauge unitary
set complex_mass_scheme False
import model sm
# Define multiparticle labels
define p = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~ b b~
define j = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~ b b~
define l+ = e+ mu+ ta+
define l- = e- mu- ta-
define vl = ve vm vt
define vl~ = ve~ vm~ vt~
import model Vector_Triplet_UFO
generate p p > vz / a, (vz > z h / a, h > j j, z > l+ l- / a) @1 QED=99 QCD=99
Best
