Invariant Mass for 3 particles

Asked by Ribella

Hi,

We want to calculate the process e-e+->Z W+ W- . We want to put the triple invariant mass cut (M_(WWZ)) of the final state particles into the runcard. What do we need to do?

Best Regards,

Murat

Hi,

If you set lpp1=lpp2=0 then M(ZWW) is fixed and your question does not make sense.
If you are using ISR mode (from a plugin) then this is a very dangerous cut to put.
We do not have any option to include such cut in the run_card.
So the only solution would be to hardcode it in dummy_functions.f
However your cut is likely required to modify the phase-space integrator.
This should be done in setcuts.f (in the best case scenario, which is the one where the phase-space integration should not be modifed to handle the cut).

Cheers,

Olivier
