how can i change cos th value from limit (-1 to 0) or (0 to 1) in cuts.f

Here is the FAQ that should answer your question:

Hi,
Thanks for this
But am unable to detect where the cos(theta) value limit can be changed.

Please help to know what should i change for solving this.

Thanks
Elsa

We do not have default cut on costh.
You have to hardcode your own cut.
The line that you quote are for the kt-durham cut that is not applied on lepton.

Cheers,

Olivier

Can you suggest me how can i harddcode my own cut.
So that it will be helpful.

Thanks

Elsa

Did you check the above FAQ?

Cheers,

Olivier

Yes, i had go through SubProcesses/dummy_fct.f .

But unable to find the change of cos(theta) value for a certain limit like (0,1).

Thanks

Elsa

Hi Elsa,

So the idea is to take the set of momenta and compute the cos(theta) value.
(be carefull that theta is not a lorentz invariant quantity and therefore you might need to boost the momenta to the frame of your choice.

When you have the value of cos(theta) (which will be between -1 and 1.
If that value is between 0 and 1 as you want then you set "dummy_cuts=.true."
if it is between -1 and 0 then you set "dummy_cuts=.false."

The machine learning layer of the code will then optimize the code automatically to avoid to generate the events between -1,0.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hello sir,

Here is the dummy_fct.f page. when i changed the "dummy_cuts=.true." to "dummy_cuts=.false.", error is seen.

how can i solve this . kindly suggest.

That's expected right, if you ALWAYS return .false. this is the same as asking to not allow any range in cos(theta) --or any other variable--. In that case the cross-section is then 0 which is not a very interesting quantity to compute.
Additionally madgraph is not able to generate events for a zero cross-section.

Then how can i change the cos{theta} limit for AFB{forward - backward assymetry}???
