Description of the model

This is the model file for the characterization of a (125 GeV) resonance. We present a general implementation of particles with different spin/parity coupling to the SM particles.

Particles introduced within this model file: X0, X1 and X2.

• For requesting a 0+ particle, the user must choose ca=1;
• For a 0- particle, ca=0;
• For a 1- particle, kfa, kv1, kv2, kv3 !=0;
• For a 1+ particle, kfb, kv4, kv5 !=0;
• For a 2+ with the lowest dimensional (dim-5) operators, kf, kv, ka, kg !=0;
• For a 2+ with higher dimensional (dim-7) operators, kv1, ka1, kg1 !=0;
• For a 2- particle, kv2, ka2, kg2 != 0.

Notice that ca (and sa) stands for cos[alpha] (and sin[alpha]) and allows the user to have a mix 0- 0+ state: X0 = cos[alpha] 0+ + sin[alpha] 0-
