VBF and photon fusion

Hi,

So if I generates events in p p > j j h++ h--. I checked that all Feynman diagrams are included. It is weird that even if I did not impose any cut there was no colliear divergence appearing. So I would like to ask if p p > j j h++ h-- included the contributions from photon fusion?

This certainly does not include the elastic scattering but it does include the inelastic scattering if you see the associate Feynman Diagram. (but it is possible --actually likely-- that your syntax does not include it.

Besides I found the cross section of p p > j j h++ h-- is unreasonble large even if I impose cuts ptj > 10 GeV. I am not sure what has happened.

This might be the sign of divergence actually or that some width are wrongly set.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

thanks for your prompt reply.

I could generate 10000 events of p p > j j h++ h-- without any cut rapidly. Then I guessed no divergence appeared. Since you said p p > j j h++ h-- includes inelastic scattering of photons. Do you mean that there is no divergence in inelastic scattering of initial photons and not necessary to impose a cut on jet pt?

Thanks.

Gang

I did not say that. I said that it is unlikely to be included, but if you see it you have it.

Well in this case, you do not have initial photon, only intermediate photon.
and you have an automatic cut linked to the dynamical scale choice (at 4 GeV^2).
which can act as a regulator. For the rest, I do not know your process in order to be able to claim anything)

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

thanks very much.

Is it possible to change the "dynamic scale choice"?

Best,
Gang

Sure this is a parameter of the run_card.

Cheers,

Olivier
