generate a process but no events file exist

Electroweak correction at NLO are only possible (so far) at fixed order accuracy.
This means that no event generation are possible (this requires NLO+PS accuracy).

I will take a look for the html, Electroweak release is still in beta and therefore it is really nice for you to test and give us feedback.

Cheers,

Olivier

Thanks, Olivier.
Whether it means that I cannot find the feynman diagrams in output files due to no html file? I tried to display diagrams directly in the terminal program , but the diagrams cannot display completely.

Hi,

So i have done the following.
Since you speak about Electroweak correction, I have used 3.0.3 version (the only one able to do EW correction at fixed-order NLO).

./bin/mg5_aMC
then typed
generate p p > t t~ [QED]
output XXX

and then I have correctly the XXX/info.html file

Cheers,

Olivier

Hello, I installed 2.8 version of mg5. But since I import model loop_qcd_qed_sm, it seems that process with EW correction at NLO can be generated. If it means that I have to install 3.0.3 version so that the html file can exist?

Regards,

With 2.8,

You will not have EW corrections this is not implemented in that version.
I guess i do not understand what your issue is.
Could you be more specific:
1) what command do you run
(and maybe explain what you want from those syntax since this is likely not what you expect that the code is doing)

2) what is the error message (if any)
3) where do you expect an html page? (or other)
4) on which os/python version/ ... are you running?

Cheers,

Olivier

Sorry I didn't make myself clear.
I run the command " import loop_qcd_qed_sm --> generate e- u > e- u h [QED] " . I wish generate this process with NLO electroweak correction. Then I run " display diagrams " to see the feynman diagrams of this process, but just some of diagrams( about 90 I guess) appear and do not display completely(around 130). So I run "output eu-euh " and check this output file but no html file exists.
My python version is 3.8 and mg5 2.8.

Hi,

Within 2.8.x

I have the following when running your command:

so it is crashes (as it should)

In 3.0.2:

You should not the following warning since your process is not compatible with NLO accuracy:

WARNING: Use of multiparticles is non-trivial for NLO process generation and depends on the orders included, the process considered, as well as the PDF set chosen. See appendix D of arXiv:1804.10017 [hep-ph] for some guidance.

Sorry , I misremembered.
It's " generate e- u > e- u h [virt=QED] "

Hi,

so this mode is a special mode where you ONLY have the virtual matrix-element.
In that mode you can only compute the loop for a single phase-space point (or more than one actually)
and you get as result both the finite part of the computation but also the pole contribution
(such computation is obviously infinite)

Indeed in that mode we do not have any html output.
For the loop display some identical loop might be merge into a single loop.
I can assign the MadLoop author to give you more details if you need more details.

But independently of those issues, this command does NOT allow you to compute NLO EW correction.
(just the loop)

Cheers,

Olivier

Thank you very much.
If mg5 can only compute NLO QCD correction?
