Error in low energy dm annihilation process

Asked by Anne-Katherine

Hello,

I am trying to generate the annihilation process xr xr -> d d~ and am getting the output "Zero results detected" for beam energies < 20 MeV. I have a set a high off shell tolerance (bwcutoff = 1e+12) and in my model file I have tried xr masses from .01 - 10 MeV and mediator masses from 1 - 10,000 MeV.

This process works for a beam energy of 20.1 MeV, so clearly there is some kind of limit at 20 but I'm not sure where this limit is coming from. Furthermore, I have successfully generated low energy (>20 MeV) processes for xr xr -> b b~.

Finally, I have tried generating the same process in MadDM and have gotten the exact same effect.

Any thoughts or advice would be very much appreciated!

Thank you,

Hi,

cross-section should be zero below approximatively 100MeV no?

in any case, you are not in a perturbative regime at such energy and can not trust the theory at such energy.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Oliver,

I'm sorry, 20 MeV was a typo. I meant 20 GeV.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!

Best,

I guess you can then reformulate the full question to be sure what is in GeV and what is in MeV.

You will likely need to give more details on the computations such that I can try to reproduce it.
(model, the benchmark returning 0 cross-section, the run_card,...)

However, assuming all MeV changed to GeV, you have at least one case where the cross-section should be zero since you will have two xr at rest and therefore not interacting.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Oliver,

Here is my original question reformulated:

I am trying to generate the annihilation process xr xr -> d d~ and am getting the output "Zero results detected" for beam energies < 20 GeV. I have a set a high off shell tolerance (bwcutoff = 1e+12) and in my model file I have tried xr masses from .01 - 10 GeV and mediator masses from 1 - 10,000 GeV.

This process works for a beam energy of 20.1 GeV, so clearly there is some kind of limit at 20 but I'm not sure where this limit is coming from. Furthermore, I have successfully generated low energy (>20 GeV) processes for xr xr -> b b~.

Finally, I have tried generating the same process in MadDM and have gotten the exact same effect.

The following are excepts from my model file:

PARAMETERS

MXr = Parameter(name = 'MXr',
                nature = 'external',
                type = 'real',
                #value = 1.,
                value = 10,
                texname = '\\text{MXr}',
                lhablock = 'MASS',
                lhacode = [ 5000001 ])

MY0 = Parameter(name = 'MY0',
                nature = 'external',
                type = 'real',
                value = 10000.,
                texname = '\\text{MY0}',
                lhablock = 'MASS',
                lhacode = [ 54 ])

PARTICLES

Xr = Particle(pdg_code = 5000001,
              name = 'Xr',
              antiname = 'Xr',
              spin = 1,
              color = 1,
              mass = Param.MXr,
              width = Param.ZERO,
              texname = 'Xr',
              antitexname = 'Xr',
              charge = 0,
              GhostNumber = 0,
              LeptonNumber = 0,
              Y = 0)

Y0 = Particle(pdg_code = 54,
              name = 'Y0',
              antiname = 'Y0',
              spin = 1,
              color = 1,

              charge = 0,
              GhostNumber = 0,
              LeptonNumber = 0,
              Y = 0)

Please let me know if you need the full model file.

Note: the above outcome is for xr xr > b b~ but I get the same thing for xr xr > d d~.

What is the model that you use?
If have tried
DMsimp_s_spin0
and
DMsimp_s_spin1
and they do not have diagram for that process.

Hi Oliver,

I am using DMsimp_s_spin0 execpt the coupling between the mediator (Y0) and DM particle (Xr) is set to 1 rather than 0:

gSXr = Parameter(name = 'gSXr',
                 nature = 'external',
                 type = 'real',
                 value = 1.,
                 texname = 'g_{\\text{SXr}}',
                 lhablock = 'DMINPUTS',
                 lhacode = [ 1 ])

Thank you again,

Hi,

Can you send me your UFO model?

When I used that model, I have:

"generate xr xr > b b~" with error:
NoDiagramException : No amplitudes generated from process Process: xr xr > b b~ DMS=2 WEIGHTED=12 @1. Please enter a valid process
Please report this bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo

At that stage the value of the parameter are not yet evaluated so changing a parameter from 1 to 0 (or the opposite) do not change anything. You can see in the log below, that I start from downloading that model from our database to be sure that I was using a clean version.

but also

import model XXY
generate xr xr > b b~
output
launch
set gSXr 1
set ebeam 5
set mxr 1

The only one obviously crashing (as it should and as explained above) is

import model XXY
generate xr xr > b b~
output
launch
set gSXr 1
set ebeam 10
set mxr 10

Cheers,

Olivier

Pronouns: she/her/hers. Some people identify with or use pronouns that may
not be obvious based on their appearance. By stating mine clearly I hope to
encourage others to share theirs. Please help make our culture more

Hello Olivier,

I'm sorry to come back again, but while what you sent above worked for b
quarks, it did not work for xr xr > d d~. My advisor and I are stumped as
to why this could be.

Do you have any ideas?

Thank you,
Anne-Katherine

Did you remove the default cut on the jet? in the run_card?
This works perfectly for me:

> output

> set gSXr 1
> set ebeam 5
> set mxr 1
> set no_parton_cut

Cheers,
