\midheading{$W+2$~jets production, processes 22,27}
|
|
\label{subsec:w2jets}
|
|
|
|
This process represents the production of a $W$ boson and $2$ jets,
|
|
where the $W$ boson decays leptonically. The calculation may be
|
|
performed up to NLO, as detailed below. Virtual amplitudes are
|
|
taken from ref.~\cite{Bern:1997sc}.
|
|
For more details on this calculation, please see
|
|
Refs.~\cite{Campbell:2002tg,Campbell:2003hd}.
|
|
|
|
For these processes (and also for $Z+2$~jet production, {\tt nproc=44,46})
|
|
the next-to-leading order matrix elements are
|
|
particularly complex and may be divided into two groups.
|
|
The division is according to the lowest order diagrams from which they
|
|
originate:
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item Diagrams involving two external quark lines and two external gluons,
|
|
the ``{\tt Gflag}'' contribution. The real diagrams in this case thus
|
|
involve three external gluons.
|
|
|
|
\item Diagrams where all four external lines are quarks,
|
|
the ``{\tt Qflag}'' contribution. The real diagrams in this case
|
|
involve only one gluon.
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
By specifying {\tt Gflag} and {\tt Qflag} in the file {\tt input.ini} one may
|
|
select one of these options at a time. The full result may be obtained
|
|
by straightforward addition of the two individual pieces, with no
|
|
meaning attached to either piece separately.
|
|
The default is that both of these are set to {\tt .true.} simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
Virtual amplitudes are taken from ref.~\cite{Bern:1997sc}.
|
|
|
|
When {\tt removebr} is true, the $W$ boson does not decay.
