    33The model contains baryon-(and lepton)-number-violating (BNV) four-fermion interactions like tbμc, tbue, tτdu. These interactions for instance lead to the t→b̅c̅μ⁺ decay and ub→t̅e⁺ single top production in association with a single lepton.

    77The corresponding parameters are {{{aaa}}}, {{{bbb}}}, {{{ccc}}}, {{{ddd}}} and their primed analogues.
     
    1616To overcome !MadGraph limitations, the model introduces a very heavy fictitious mediator {{{X}}} which effectively generates the required four-fermion interactions. Its mass {{{MX}}} is set by default to 1 PeV and should be kept much higher than the energy scale of the considered process, so that computation do not depend on its exact value.

    18 The BNV decay width of the top quark as well as the {{{u d > t~ ta+}}} matrix element computed by !MadGraph in {{{standalone_cpp}}} mode (for various combinations of {{{aaa3x1}}}, {{{bbb3x1}}}, {{{ccc1x3}}}, {{{ddd1x3}}}, {{{aaaprime3x3}}}, {{{bbbprime3x3}}}, {{{cccprime1x1}}}, {{{dddprime1x1}}} and at various phase-space point) have been validated against analytical computations.
