How to add an "OR" restriction in a given process?
Hello,
I'm interested in the following process: e+e- -> Z Z* with Z->l+l- or Z->qqbar, below the ZZ threshold. Namely, e+e- -> 2l2j where the 2 charged leptons OR the 2 jets have an invariant mass at the Z boson mass (and the Z* decays also into leptons or jets, but off-shell so no mass reconstruction is possible). I naively tried the following syntax:
process eeZZ_2j2l = "e+","e-" => (lepton, lepton, jet,jet) { $restrictions = "1+2 ~ Z || 3+4 ~ Z" }
but it does not exist in Whizard.
Alternatively, adding these 2 processes:
process eeZZ_2j2l = "e+","e-" => (lepton, lepton, jet,jet) { $restrictions = "1+2 ~ Z" }
process eeZZ_2j2l = "e+","e-" => (lepton, lepton, jet,jet) { $restrictions = "3+4 ~ Z" }
would lead to a double counting of processes.
How can one implement an "OR" in the restrictions as above?
Thanks again.
