MadGraph5_aMC@NLO

Can not combine LO/NLO feature.

Asked by SooJin Lee

Hi Madgraph staff.

I calculated some process with model DMsimp_s_spin0.

I want to calculate 'p p > xd xd~ [QCD] /a z w+ w- ' and 'p p > xd xd~ j[QCD] /a z w+ w-' together.

Each process worked well. but if I do 'add process', it didn't work.

error message is

"Command "add process p p > xd xd~ j[QCD] /a z w+ w-" interrupted with error:
InvalidCmd : Command not compatible with previous command: Can not combine LO/NLO feature."

Could you help me?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

The [QCD] is technically a syntax asking for NLO computation.
The correct syntax for LO loop-induced process is [noborn=QCD]
generate p p > xd xd~ [noborn=QCD] /a z w+ w-

To be user friendly when a user ask [QCD] on a process without any born, then we automatically switch to [noborn=] syntax.
However in your case it crashes before since he believes that you are going to mix LO and NLO process.
So the correct method to do is

generate p p > xd xd~ [noborn=QCD] /a z w+ w-
add process p p > xd xd~ j [noborn=QCD] /a z w+ w-

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi,

The problem still remains with [noborn=QCD].

But when I ran with another version, the problem was solved.

Thank you.

Have a good day!
