MadGraph5_aMC@NLO

No particle --diagram_filter in model

Asked by Riccardo

Dear experts,

I have defined the following user_filter.py

def remove_diag(diag,model=None):
    """remove all diagrams which are not QCD==2"""
    if diag.get('orders')['QCD'] != 2:
        return True
    return False

and copied it into the madgraph/PLUGIN folder of the MG version I am using.
The generation string I am trying to use is:

generate p p > z w- j j QCD=99 SMHLOOP=0 NP=1 --diagram_filter, z > l+ l- NP=1, w- > j j NP=1 @0 NP=1

but I get the following error:

Command "import /public/genproductions/bin/MadGraph5_aMCatNLO/ZWmQCD_cHq1_SM_LI_QU/ZWmQCD_cHq1_SM_LI_QU_gridpack/work/ZWmQCD_cHq1_SM_LI_QU_proc_card.dat" interrupted in sub-command:
"generate p p > z w- j j QCD=99 SMHLOOP=0 NP=1 --diagram_filter, z > l+ l- NP=1, w- > j j NP=1 @0 NP=1" with error:
InvalidCmd : No particle --diagram_filter in model

Thanks in advance,
Riccardo

You should do
generate p p > z w- j j QCD=99 SMHLOOP=0 NP=1 , z > l+ l- NP=1, w- > j j NP=1 @0 NP=1 --diagram_filter
instead.
but then it obviously not doing what you want since it will apply on each pieces. (which is not a big issue since you can add a condition on the number of initial state to distinguish production from decay)

Now I will assign this to Valentin, since I do not see why,
generate p p > z w- j j QCD==2 SMHLOOP=0 NP=1 , z > l+ l- NP=1, w- > j j NP=1 @0 NP=1
should not be allowed/working here...

With QCD==2 I get this error:
MadGraph5Error : Decay processes cannot specify squared orders constraints

How can I write the condition on the number of initial state?

You can use the drawned representation mode and check how many vertex you have at level 0.
They might exists other method but this is the likely the easiest to explain/find.

I am sorry but I have not understood what I should do. Could you please show me the code that have to be implemented as an additional condition?

Thanks a lot.

Never done that but with the example you should be able to twek it no?
