ee> ee [real=QED] process with v2_4_0 lauch interrepted with "index out of range"

Asked by Himangshu Neog

Hi,
I am new to Madgraph and trying to look at the process e- e- > e- e- [real= QED] process. I can only find mg5_v2_4_0 (and v2_3_3) which work for QED NLO processes. Since I can't compile (using make command) CutTools, IREGI and StdHEP for this version, I copied the working ones from v2_6_5 to get rid of the initial errors from CutTools compilation fails. I am getting this error during launch:

Hi,

Here I'm confused about what you are trying to do:

1) you said " I can only find mg5_v2_4_0 (and v2_3_3) which work for QED NLO processes. "
Those version does NOT support QED NLO. The only version with some support of QED NLO is 3.0.1
(publicly available on this website)

2) "e- e- > e- e- [real= QED] " is not QED NLO. (this is not the correct syntax for that)
2.1) real=QED means that you ask ONLY the real contribution (one of the three contribution to the NLO computation). So in particular such syntax excludes the loop
2.2) you can not use/set "e- e- > e- e-" as a process for QED NLO.

3) I might be wrong here, but I have the feeling that you want to do NLO+PS, this is not currently possible only fNLO is supported.

I would strongly suggest that you read arXiv:1804.10017<http://arXiv.org/abs/arXiv:1804.10017>
for more information on the topic.

Cheers,

Olivier

I am using macOS mojave for the run. If you think I should use any "development" branch for QED, let me know why one (i have tried a few and they don't let me run QED loops)

Hi Oliver,
I read the paper you refer to. I am still confused why you said e- e- > e- e- is not QED NLO. I want to look at the one loop diagrams of this process above tree level diagrams that I can generate without using [QED] in madgraph. But the process fails with an error about poles don't cancel(using v 3.0.1). I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Hi,

can you explicitly write what do you digit as a command?

Also, can you repeat what are you exactly interested in?

Do you want just to look at diagrams? Do you want to evaluate the loop diagrams for some phase-space points?
Do you want to calculate e+e-->e+e- cross section at NLO EW or NLO QED?

The last option is not available at the moment with the code, since the code is able to calculate NLO EW corrections for hadronic collisions but NOT for e+e- collisions, at the moment.

Cheers
Davide

Hi Davide,
I want to look at the effect of Initial State Radiation in lepton colliders (evaluate the loop diagrams) as done in https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.00125.pdf They mentioned a plugin for that(not sure if v3.0.1 has this plugin).

Is this error happening because madgraph dont support QED NLO? In that case, do you suggest to use the plugin mentioned in the paper?

Hi Himangshu

yes at the moment the code cannot compute NLO EW corrections for e+e- collisions.
I suggest you to use the plugin mentioned in 1804.00125 if you want to look at the effect of Initial State Radiation in lepton colliders as done in https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.00125.pdf.

Let me just add a comment. As the word says, ISR is a radiation not a loop, but I see you are interested in loop.
NLO EW contains the one-loop correction + one emission of a photon (real), properly evaluated also in the hard limit.

Also, from a quick read of the abstract of the paper you mentioned I see "all orders of soft and soft-collinear photons as well as up to the third order in hard-collinear photons", which is not NLO EW. In other words, even if NLO EW was implemented in our code, it is probably not what you are looking for if you are interested to study ISR.

Cheers
Davide
