Two formats for param_card

Asked by Manu

Dear experts,

using the same model, the param_card sometimes changes format:

in one format, the DECAY block looks like this
DECAY 6100001 7.300629e-01 #
      9.988466e-01 2 -6 6 # 0.7292208931861378
      1.153368e-03 2 -5 5 # 0.0008420313994714035

DECAY 6100002 1.500000e+01 #
DECAY 6100003 1.100000e+00 #

In the other format, it looks like this:
# PDG Width
DECAY 6100001 1.100000e+00
#
# PDG Width
DECAY 6100002 2.079228e-07
# BR NDA ID1 ID2 ...
   1.000000e+00 2 22 24 # 2.0792278943794592e-07
#
# PDG Width
DECAY 6100003 1.100000e+00
#

Is there a flag I can set to force the latter format?

Thanks in advance
Manuel

Hi,

No, we do not have any flag to have a more consistent writter of the param_card.
The issue is also that each UFO model is shipped with his own writter (typically the same) and that we have our own too.

Cheers,

Olivier
