    40 To describe the four-gluon-Higgs coupling a vertex with 5 external lines is needed. This cannot be done with !MadGraph. However, there is a way to circumvent this problem by introducing non-propagating auxiliary particles. It is possible to rewrite the four-gluon interactions as two three-point interactions connected by the new auxiliary tensor particle (called tn internally, and shows as T in the MG diagrams, the PDG code is 99). The troublesome five-point interaction (between the four gluons and the Higgs) reduces then to three three-point interactions.

    6294With these new rules we can make six tree-level diagrams with four external gluon lines: three with two gluon-gluon-gluon vertices and three with two gluon-gluon-tensor vertices. The sum of these diagrams is exactly the same as the four diagrams in the original QCD: the three diagrams with two gluon-gluon-gluon vertices have not changed, and the four-gluon interaction is equal to the sum of the three diagrams with the two gluon-gluon-tensor vertices.
