Syntax for Z-boson and photon fusion

Asked by ouseph cj

Dear Madgraph expert,

I am working on the production of axion-like-particle(ALP) from e+e- collisions.: ( generate e+e- > e+e- ALP )

I am looking for ALP production from Z-boson-Photon fusion,

What is the madgraph syntax for this particular process, [One e-e- leg with photon and another e+e+ leg with Z boson]?

Without knowing the model, I can not give such answer.
In general:
generate e+e- > e+e- ALP
should be the correct syntax.
After that if this produces too many diagrams and you want to remove some you can look at the associated FAQ.

Cheers,

Olivier

Dear Oliver,

Thanks for your reply.
My Model is the general model for ALP(a).

If the command "*generate e+ e- > e+ e- a"* produces the following
diagrams, *Then what is the syntax of generating the Middle one*? the
photon Z boson fusion.

1) The first diagram i produced using *generate e+ e- > e+ e- a / \gamma,
e+ e-, h*
2) The third one i produced using *generate e+ e- > e+ e- a / z, e+ e-,
h,*
*How can I explicitly produce the middle one?*

The model is given below,

Hi,

Looks like they are formatting issue with your answer, I guess that you reply via your email and that you are using rich extension/html format and image that are not accepted for the web page.

Dear Oliver
Sorry for the unsupporting format,

ax=ALP
a=Photon=\gamma

For example, I could generate ALP (ax) from the

1) \gamma-\gamma fusion using
     generate e+ e- > e+ e- ax / z e+ e- h

2) Z-Z fusion using
     generate e+ e- > e+ e- ax / a e+ e- h

Then How can I generate ALP from the
3) Z-\gamma fusion ?

I am using The UFO model file for the linear EFT of ALP (https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/wiki/ALPsEFT).

Olivier Mattelaer suggests this article as an answer to your question:
FAQ #3322: “How to select of subset of diagram for LO computation?”.

You need to use a diagram selection algorithm here.
We do not have syntax for such type of diagram since this typically break gauge invariance and is therefore meaningless.

Olivier
