Generation of polarized particles

Hi,

I guess that you miss the first line of the thread "Starting in MG5aMC 2.7.0 (to be confirmed)."
2.7.0 is not yet released and this syntax is not yet validated/release.
This thread is a sneak peak of 2.7.0

The status of this development is that the code is fully validated when you do not decay the W.
The validation is on progress for decaying the W. (If this does not work, we might not even release this development at all)

Note that if you do not care about decay, you can use the previous (by hand) method which is described in the same FAQ.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi,
thanks a lot for the clarification. Can you please share what is the typical timeline when the Madgraph team would be releasing the version 2.7.0 (in case of success).
Many thanks once again.

Hi,

Our first talk on this will be next week actually.
So I hope that we can release that fast. But since it starts to be holliday season
I guess between september and december.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for the information. I suppose decay things would also work.

Best,
