Zeros and equal numbers in restrict card

The best method is to set random value within the restrict_xxxx.dat file (or at least value where all compling stays non-vanishing) and to add a default value for all the parameter with a file param_xxxx.dat

Cheers,

Olivier

By using default restriction card, I would like to set all light particle to massless. But I also want to keep all the coupling matrices as identity matrix. Is that possible? As if I set the coupling matrices to identity matrix, all zeros will disappear, and equal couplings will be merged into one. Is there any way to avoid that and also have an identity matrix in the output? Thanks!

Hi Olivier:
     If we put param_xxxx.dat in the UFO folder, will the MG automatically copy it to the output folder?
     I guess that the "xxxx" in "param_xxxx.dat" should be the same as the "xxxx" in "restrict_xxxx.dat"?

Thanks!

Yes to both.

Cheers,

Olivier

Thanks!

Thanks Olivier Mattelaer, that solved my question.

Hi Olivier:
     With both "param_default.dat" and "restrict_default.dat" in the UFO folder, with "import model xxxx" the default restriction is applied. But the param_default.dat is not copied to the output folder. Is there anything I should set up?

Best
Ted

Thanks Olivier Mattelaer, that solved my question.
