Top decay and 4 Fermion operators
Hello Everyone!!
So I have been trying to study the effect of Dimension 6 4 fermion operators in top quark decay. Everything runs fine but there is no interference term between the SM diagrams and 4 fermion operators. The decay width has the SM part and contribution from 4 fermion operators which go as 1/Lambda^4. The 1/Lambda^2 term is missing.
Any reason why this is happening?
Thanks

Either they are no interference or you use a wrong syntax.
So what syntax did you use?
Cheers,
Olivier

Okay, here it is
define l+ = l+ ta+
generate t > b j j QED<=99
add process t > b l+ vl QED<=99
output madevent
launch
So here you do not have any interference between
> generate t > b j j QED<=99
and
> add process t > b l+ vl QED<=99
None are possible anyway in this case since the final state is not the same.
But otherwise, you will have all interference term included within each of those two computation.

Yeah each of the individual processes should have interference terms and should be getting it using
Inteference = Total width - SM width - NP width.
This value should go over as 1/Lambda^2 which is not happening. Let me check in case i am missing any diagrams.
But thank you !!
Best,
Kuntal
A better way to have the interference only can be to do
> generate t > b j j NP^2==1
Depending of the UFO model author choices of pa, it might be
> generate t > b j j NP^2==2
This will compute the interference alone

I tried it and the output for the width is close to my expectation. But what is this warning all about?
Computation of interference term with decay is not 100% validated.
One suggestion is also to compare the generation of your process with and without
set group_subprocesses True
(to write Before the generate command)
Thanks,
Kuntal

Thanks Olivier Mattelaer, that solved my question.
