Description

Hi,
I would like to produce inclusive Z -> q qbar samples with Pythia but providing a custom DECAY.DEC file to be used by EvtGen (and subsequently Delphes), which then also takes into account rare decays for flavour studies. Do you know possible solutions/workarounds to achieve this?
Best, Lars

Research direction

Start by checking how k4Gen invokes Pythia and passes decay configuration to EvtGen and Delphes; the issue identifies no repository file or test. Define how a custom DECAY.DEC can be supplied for inclusive Z -> q qbar samples, then validate that rare decays are propagated for flavour studies.
