List of processes

Please refer to the PDF manual in Doc/manual.pdf in the MCFM distribution for a full list of processes. This page is slowly being extended.

The processes described in the file process.DAT include appropriate boson decays when the parameter removebr is set to .false.. In many cases a more simple calculation can be performed by setting this parameter to .true., in which case these decays are not performed. Technically the full calculation including the decays is still performed but cuts are not performed on the decay products and the branching ratio is divided out, thus yielding the cross section before decay. In the notes below we indicate the simpler processes thus obtained. When running in this mode, the parameter zerowidth should be set to .true. for consistency. However in certain circumstances, for the sake of comparison, it may be useful to run with it set to .false..
