SM at NLO

Asked by Abdellah Tnourji

Hello,

Sorry if this is a very naive question :

I would like to generate pure SM at NLO ( for ttbar pair ), so I do something like :

import model loop_sm

generate p p > t t~ [QCD]

# ---------------------------
In madspin
# --------------------------
decay t > w+ b, w+ > l+ vl
decay t~ > w- b~, w- > l- vl~
decay w+ > l+ vl
decay w- > l- vl~
# ---------------------------

Am I importing the right model and generating the process correctly?

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
A.Tnourji

What do you mean by "pure"

Your syntax does NLO QCD.

But the decay with MadSpin is LO accurate.
The line
> decay w+ > l+ vl
> decay w- > l- vl~
are not needed but does not hurts either

Cheers,

Olivier

Hello,

What do you mean by "pure"

Just SM.

Thank you, I consider this as solved

Hello,

I have another question regarding this comment :

But the decay with MadSpin is LO accurate.
The line
> decay w+ > l+ vl
> decay w- > l- vl~
are not needed but does not hurts either

I want to do smothing like
generate p p > t t~ QED=0 QCD=2 NP=2 [QCD]
decay t > w+ b
decay t~ > w- b~

But at NLO decay ? is it possible with madspin ?
Many thanks.

Cheers,
A.Tnourji

No this is not possible with MadSpin.
