KeyError : QED error in NLO calculation

Asked by Jack Y. Araz

Dear Olivier

I'm trying to calculate NLO corrections in Vprime model from feynrules which we just added NP flag for the new vertices. I'm trying to get the NLO corrections with MG5 v3. So I'm trying to get only QCD corrections without the NP corrections where im generating as follows

>generate p p > j j / wp+ wp- NP^2<=2 QCD=0 [QCD]

with NP<=2; I'm getting NP^2=4 corrections which I dont want, thats why I set NP^2<=2 but now I'm getting the following (I get same error when I set QED=0)

>INFO: Generating FKS-subtracted matrix elements for born process: g g > g g [ all = NP QED QCD ] NP^2<=2 QCD^2=200 / wp+ wp+ (1 / 200)
>INFO: Generating FKS-subtracted matrix elements for born process: g g > u u~ [ all = NP QED QCD ] NP^2<=2 QCD^2=200 / wp+ wp+ (2 / 200)

Note that this does not happen when I set NP=2, I get all the diagrams without a problem. Is there a way to solve this? Or can you tell me the correct command to achieve this?

MG5 v3_0_3

(I can't get rid of these corrections in v2.7.3 which ends up not canceling poles thats why im using v3. When I generate the process the same way in v2.7 it cant find any amplitudes.)

Thanks

Syntax specifiction in 3.0.3 are confusing since they do not match 2.x syntax for what you try to do.
This was a huge feedback of the beta release (this is one of the good point to still be in beta for that version) and will change the syntax in 3.0.4 to have a more consistent syntax.
For the moment you can use this branch: lp:~maddevelopers/mg5amcnlo/3.0.3-neworders
which implements such new syntax.

Dear Olivier

Thanks a lot for the quick response. It seems like it solved the previous problem with QED but now I can't get any loop diagrams without SM (Z/W/a) contribution. So what I want is p p > j j where only contribution is coming from Z' + loop order corrections which I was achieving in v2.X via setting QCD=0. Now I tried

generate p p > j j / wp+ wp- NP=2 QCD=0 NP^2<=2 QED=0 [QCD]

but I get the following

Command "generate p p > j j / wp+ wp- NP=2 QCD=0 NP^2<=2 QED=0 [QCD]" interrupted with error:
FKSProcessError : This process does not have any correction up to NLO in QCD

when I set NP=2 QCD=2 NP^2<=2 QED=0 [QCD] it works but I get some diagrams without Z' which is expected. Is there a way to enforce to have Z' in the diagram and only have QCD loop corrections without any NP corrections?

Thanks
Best regards
Jack

Hi Jack,
can you try
generate p p > j j / wp+ wp- NP=2 QCD^2=0 NP^2<=2 QED=0 [QCD]
?
(note QCD=0 -> QCD^2=0)

Let me know...
Where can I get the model, to try a bit myself?

Thanks,

Marcpo

I get the following;

Command "generate p p > j j / wp+ wp- NP=2 QCD^2=0 NP^2<=2 QED=0 [QCD]" interrupted with error:
FKSProcessError : This process does not have any correction up to NLO in QCD

Hi,
are you sure the model is correct?
If I generate a LO process with your syntax I also get errors:
MG5_aMC>generate u u~ > d d~ / wp+ wp- NP=2 QCD=0 NP^2<=2 QED=0
Interpreting 'NP=2' as 'NP<=2'
Command "generate u u~ > d d~ / wp+ wp- NP=2 QCD=0 NP^2<=2 QED=0 " interrupted in sub-command:
"generate u u~ > d d~ / wp+ wp- NP=2 QCD=0 NP^2<=2 QED=0" with error:
NoDiagramException : No amplitudes generated from process Process: u u~ > d d~ / wp+ wp+ NP=2 QCD=0 QED=0 NP^2<=2 @1. Please enter a valid process
Please report this bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo
More information is found in 'MG5_debug'.
Please attach this file to your report.

sorry, It should be NP^2 <= 4, not 2, right?

Hi Marco

When I set 'generate p p > j j NP=2 QCD=0 QED=0’ I can see all the NP diagrams at LO in both versions so I believe there is no problem at LO, please let me know if im wrong. So yes I believe NP^2 should be <=4, which gives me same diagrams as the command above. In the meantime I’m checking the model, couldn’t find a problem so far.

Thanks
Best regards

Hi Jack,
since the diagram you want contains 2 NP vertices, then you have to specify NP^2=4 (or not specify squared orders at all).

Cheers,

Marco
