Problems with decay with squared ordered constraints

Asked by Shankha Banerjee

Hi,

Perhaps this has been asked before. We are using the SMEFTsim model from the FeynRules database to generate the following process:

define w = w+ w-
generate p p > w z NP=1 NP^2=1 QCD=0

Because this process wasn't allowing for a decay chain, we tried to use MadSpin to decay the W and the Z-bosons but we are getting the same issue:

INFO: generate p p > w z NP=1 NP^2=1, z > l l QCD=99, w > l v QCD=99 --no_warning=duplicate;
Command "generate_events -f" interrupted with error:
MadGraph5Error : Decay processes cannot specify squared orders constraints.

More information is found in '/mt/batch/sbanerjee/Packages/MG5_aMC_v2_7_3/pp2wz_decay_test/run_01_tag_1_debug.log'.
Please attach this file to your report.

Is there are way out to decay the W and the Z-bosons while keeping the NP^2=1 on?

Many thanks.

Cheers,

Shankha.

No I do not have a way out.
