'''Authors''': Cen Zhang, Diogo Buarque Franzosi, Eleni Vryonidou '''Reference''': arXiv:1707.06760 '''Abstract''': The model allows the computation of (pseudo-)scalar resonance production in top-antitop quarks final state at NLO in QCD accuracy, including interference effects. '''Information''': To use the model in MadGraph_aMC@NLO you need to follow these instructions: 1 - Comment line self['loop_diagrams']=newloopselection in madgraph/loop/loop_diagram_generation.py inside your distribution ; 2 - Generate the output with [[BR]] > import model AHttbar >define p = 21 2 4 1 3 -2 -4 -1 -3 5 -5 [[BR]] >define j = p [[BR]] >set complex_mass_scheme [[BR]] >generate p p > t t~ QCD=2 QED=1 EFT=1 [QCD] [[BR]] >output PROC_pp-tt 3 - Go into the generated directory (e.g. PROC_pp-tt) and comment the following lines in SubProcesses/montecarlocounter.fc [[BR]] write(*,*)'Error #4 in set_matrices' [[BR]] c write(*,*)isspecial0,nglu,nsngl [[BR]] c stop [[BR]] c write(*,*)'Error #6 in check_mc_matrices', [[BR]] c # notagluon,ntot,max_bcol [[BR]] c stop 4 - Modify cards according to your needs and generate events using standard commands. SM QCD background, signal and interference will be generated on the same sample. 5 - In the parameter card, the lambda, yht, yht5, ctg, cphig, cphig5 correspond to the coefficients in eq.3.12; yhf and yhf5 are not used by the model; muprime and muyukawa are the (MSbar) scales at which the operator coefficients and the yht/yht5 are defined respectively; creal + i*cimag is the adhoc phase we had to add to all operators for reweighting purpose; cc is an overall coefficient that is multiplied to all operators (so that you can set cc=+x and cc=-x and subtract the two samples to get the pure interference.)
