Description

Whizard + NLO with initial-state corrections assumes that all but the loop matrix elements are computed by O'Mega. This is reflected in PDF reweighting factors in the subtraction components of the form pdf_scaled / pdf_born. For BLHA matrix elements, in the current structure, the born PDFs are not applied to the matrix element coming into the computation. So we either apply the pdfs to the BLHA matrix elements like it is done for the virtual component or we use different rescaling factors without the Born pdfs in the denominator.
