momentum-dependent form factor in NLO calculation

Dear Yingying,

1. g g > h is a Loop induced process, the precision of that process is a LO accurate (and very inacurate actually).

2. In the loop_sm model, I have the following interaction:
V_56 = Vertex(name = 'V_56',
              particles = [ P.t__tilde__, P.t, P.H ],
              color = [ 'Identity(1,2)' ],
              lorentz = [ L.FFS1 ],
              couplings = {(0,0):C.GC_37})
with
FFS1 = Lorentz(name = 'FFS1',
        spins = [ 2, 2, 1 ],
               structure = 'Identity(2,1)')

GC_37 = Coupling(name = 'GC_37',
                 value = '-((complex(0,1)*yt)/cmath.sqrt(2))',
                 order = {'QED':1})

Nothing seems to match your implementation.

3. Do not forget to do your implementation of the form-factor in d-dimension and to extract the singular piece to modify the R2 counter-term with the associated form-factor. If your implementation modifes the R1 counter-term this can not be implemented.

@NLO, it sounds crazy to use form-factor. Form-Factor are typically dirty bit and do not match very well with accuracy like it is required for NLO computation. Since you are here actually at LO, It already makes more sense but you need to really understand how the loop computation is performed in order to edit the model coherently. I'm not aware of anyone trying to do that so far.

However, I got a way larger cross section. Is this related to some tricky counter-term in the model package? How should I put in the form factor coherently for NLO simulation?

Hi Olivier,

Thanks a lot for your detailed answer! I was originally using SM_NLO ufo model. But when I change to loop_sm, with the following modification:

V_56 = Vertex(name = 'V_56',
              particles = [ P.t__tilde__, P.t, P.H ],
              color = [ 'Identity(1,2)' ],
              lorentz = [ L.FFF ],
              couplings = {(0,0):C.GC_37})
with
FFF = Lorentz(name = 'FFF',
        spins = [ 2, 2, 1 ],
               structure = 'FormFactor(P(-1,1)*P(-1,1),P(-1,2)*P(-1,2),P(-1,3)*P(-1,3))*Identity(2,1)')

and FormFactor(P(-1,1)*P(-1,1),P(-1,2)*P(-1,2),P(-1,3)*P(-1,3)) is defined to be one as follows:

double complex function FormFactor(s1,s2,s3)
      implicit none
        include 'input.inc' ! include all model parameter
        INCLUDE 'coupl.inc'

        real*8 s1, s2, s3

        FormFactorTwo = 1
        return
 end

I still get a much larger cross section compared with the one without those modification. What could be the reason for this?

Are there examples to implement the form-factor in d-dimension and to extract singular pieces? Can I eventually put FormFactor(s1,s2,s3) as some polynomial function of (s1, s2, s3) safely?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

This should be FormFactor no?

I do not know,

I'm not aware of any study on that direction you are on uncharted territory.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Yes, it is a typo, should be FormFactor=1.

Thanks a lot for your answer. In this case, I will try to calculate the cross section by hand...

Best,
Yingying
