== Description of the model:
This is a Contact Interaction model with t-t-l-l terms, for scalar, vector and tensor couplings. The effective Lagrangian of the model is described by:

{{{ 
#!latex 
\begin{align*}
{\cal L}_{tt\ell \ell} =  {1\over\Lambda^2} \sum_{i,j=L,R} \biggl[ V_{ij}^\ell \left({\bar \ell} \gamma_\mu P_i \ell \right) \left( \bar t \gamma^\mu P_j t \right)  + S_{ij}^\ell \left( {\bar \ell} P_i \ell \right) \left( \bar t P_j t \right)  + T_{ij}^\ell \left( {\bar \ell} \sigma_{\mu \nu} P_i \ell \right) \left( \bar t \sigma_{\mu \nu} P_j t \right) \biggr] ~.
\end{align*}
}}} 





== Model Files:
* [https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/attachment/wiki/FourFermionttll/​4fermion-ttll-models.zip​]: the full model both at the 4FS and at the 5FS. In the paper we use the 5FS.

== Commands for MadGraph5_aMC@NLO, for a production of a muon and an anti-muon with a top quark and an anti top quark, with up to one more jet (NP only):
{{{
define p = g u c d s b u~ c~ d~ s~ b~ 
define j = g u c d s b u~ c~ d~ s~ b~ 
generate p p > mu+ mu- t t~ NP^2==4
add process p p > mu+ mu- t t~ j NP^2==4
...
set lambdas...
set fsrr ...
set ftrr ...
set fvlr ...
set fvrl ...
set fvrr ...
set fvll ...
}}}

Where lambdas is the scale of new physics in GeV, fsrr is the coupling of the t-t-l-l scalar operator with right-right chirality of the fermions, etc. For example, if we set fsrr=1 and all other couplings to 0, we get a scalar operator with:
{{{ 
#!latex 
\begin{align*}
{\cal L}_{t\bar t\ell \ell} =  {1\over\Lambda^2} \left( {\bar \ell} P_R \ell \right) \left( \bar t P_R t \right) ~.
\end{align*}
}}} 
For the scenario of vector coupling, interference with the SM should be considered. This can be done by changing the coupling order in the generation commands:
{{{
...
generate p p > mu+ mu- t t~ NP^2==2
add process p p > mu+ mu- t t~ j NP^2==2
...
}}}
Both the interference and pure NP contributions can be generated together with:
{{{
...
generate p p > mu+ mu- t t~ NP^2>0
add process p p > mu+ mu- t t~ j NP^2>0
...
}}}

Note that only operators with the couplings fsrr, ftrr, fvlr, fvrl, fvrr, fvll are generated by this UFO.
