Model description
The Chern-Simons portal extends the Standard Model by adding a new vector particle with zero electric charge, the X boson, interacting with the Standard Model electroweak gauge bosons, W, Z, and photon, via pseudo Chern-Simons current [1][2]. Brief description of the model is given in the file.
Implementation and usage description
The model has been implemented using merging of SM.fr and Chern-Simons-Portal.fr files. The implementation introduces one real new vector particle - X boson with the name xb. The implementation contains 6 new parameters: the coupling to W bosons cW (default value: 0.001), the coupling to Z bosons cZ (default value: 0.001), the coupling to the Z boson and photon cZgamma (default value: 0.001), the non-minimal axial-vector coupling to muons Cmu (default value: 0.1), the X boson mass Mxb (default value: 1 in units of GeV), the X boson width Wxb (default value: 1 in units of GeV). The implementation is performed in the unitary gauge. The implementation format is the UFO format.
To use the model, unpack the ChernSimons_UFO.zip archive and move the resulting folder ChernSimons_UFO to the directory /models of your MadGraph directory.
Files
- Chern-Simons-Portal.fr: this is the main file.
- ChernSimons.nb: this is an example Mathematica notebook that loads the model, calculates Feynman rules and makes the UFO implementation. Note that it requires the SM model file of the SM implementation of FeynRules.
- ChernSimons_UFO.zip: UFO format implementation for MadGraph.
