Description (last modified by Frank Siegert)

Some switches that we might want to consider as defaults in the next major version:

  • Max_Epsilon 1e-3 (overweighting is correctly handled now): Not before #145 is not implemented.
  • WRITE_MAPPING_FILE=3
  • CSS_AS_*_FAC=0.4 [done]
  • FILE_SIZE should probably be unlimited.
  • Set widths of SM particles to their tree-level values?

Please collect more that you would consider reasonable.

The old options to adjust coupling factors in the CSS (and POWHEG) are removed and replaced by CSS_AS_FAC (and PH_CSS_AS_FAC) with r17003. Their default is set to one, and the NLL value of ~0.406 is implemented directly by the colour function. Hence CSS_AS_FAC now acts as an _additional_ coupling prefactor, whereas before it included the non-dynamic part of the NLL correction.

Should we also set widths of SM particles to their tree-level values?

Leave SM particles width as they are, to not mess up comparison to data.
