Description

- Process e+ e- -> mu+ mu-
- sqrt(s) = 240GeV
- no ISR, no FSR
- cross sections: excellent agreement between MADRAPH and Sherpa, KKMC off
- differential distribution (costheta): good agreement between MADGRAPH and KKMC, Sherpa off

| Generator | Xsection |
|---|---|
| MADGRAPH | 1.93128 |
| SHERPA | 1.93298|
| KKMC | 1.79665 |

Research direction

Start by reproducing the e+ e- -> mu+ mu- comparison at sqrt(s) = 240GeV with ISR and FSR disabled, then inspect the MADGRAPH, Sherpa, and KKMC generator configuration and output for the reported cross-section and costheta discrepancies. Done would require identifying and correcting the relevant configuration or documenting why the generators disagree, but the issue names no files, tests, or acceptance criteria.
