<h2>Compositeness Processes</h2>

Compositeness scenarios may give rise to sharp resonances of excited 
quarks and leptons. An excited copy of the first generation is 
implemented, consisting of spin 1/2 particles. The possibility of 
contact interactions between SM fermions is also implemented in the 
context of <i>2 -> 2</i> quark or fermion-lepton scattering. 

<p/>  
Related to excited fermions, the current implementation contains gauge 
interaction production by quark-gluon fusion or lepton-photon fusion 
and contact interaction production by quark-quark or quark-antiquark 
scattering. For both the <i>2 -> 1</i> and <i>2 -> 2</i> processes 
a non-trivial angular dependence is included in the decay, however, 
only decays into gauge bosons are supported, i.e. not decays through 
contact interactions. In additions to the compositeness scale and couplings 
listed below, you are expected to change the excited-fermion masses in 
accordance with what is desired. See [<a href="Bibliography.html" target="page">Bau90</a>] for conventions.

<p/>
The contact interactions are implemented according to [<a href="Bibliography.html" target="page">Eic83</a>]. 
The processes include the SM contributions as well as interference. 
For this reason the processes below converge toward the SM equivalents 
when the contact interaction contributions are close to zero, e.g. 
<code>HardQCD:qq2qq</code> and <code>HardQCD:qqbar2qqbarNew</code> in 
the case of quark scattering. 

<h3>Excited fermions, production processes</h3>

would not overlap and therefore could be run together.
