Bhaba Scattering with ISR photon

Hi,

Not sure if this is what you want but maybe what you are looking for is something like
generate a a > mu+ mu-

and then in the run_card you can set the lpp1 and lpp2 paramter to photon from electron (should be value 2 or 3)

Cheers,

Olivier

Thanks Olivier for the response.

No, basically, in this case, my final state particles will be (e-e+a), where 'a' will come from initial state radiation of either e- or e+. That's why I put "generate e- e+ > e- e+ a". But that's including other diagrams also as expected.

So no we do not have a syntax for that.
This is going to break gauge invariance (and consequently lorentz invariance).

You can technically filter your diagram if you need (assuming that your subset is indeed gauge invariant)
