Dear All,

When I ran Vevacious for SSM model, I got the following error:
#####################################################################################
Finding all the tree-level extrema and parsing the results took 0.326898 seconds.

Minimizing the one-loop potential, calculating the tunneling time or its upper bound, and printing the results took 5.65655 seconds.

Vevacious finished. Total running time was 5.99407 seconds.

Can you help me to fix it? First I ran SARAH and made all needed files, second I ran Spheno and provided the parameters values, third I edited the XML file for paths and copied .vin file to a folder in Vevacious folder. Finally I ran Vevacious. Am I right?

Sam

Hi Sam,

It is hard to tell what is going on. Could you attach the model file and parameter point you are trying to run?

Best, E.

Hi,

All the files have been attached.
Thank you for your support.


Cheers,
Sam

Hi,

I guess the problem could be that for non-SUSY models SPheno calculates by default only tree-level masses. On the other side, Vevacious takes by default the one-loop effective potential. That doesn't fit together.
So, you can either try to turn on loop corrections in SPheno (using flag 55): or change in Vevacious.py the considered potential: Best,
Florian

Hi Florian,

The second advise fixed the problem, but the first didn't.
Thank you for your support.


Sincerely,
Sam

Dear Florian,

As you know if I change the one-loop effective potential to tree-level, I will lost the thermal study of the model.

Will you guide me what I should do?
It seems by turning the one-loop corrected mass on, the problem cannot be fixed.

Best,
Sam

Hi,

I was checking with one-loop masses, but can't reproduce your problem: Vevacious runs without any problems.
Did you make sure that you have non-zero values in your spc file here:

Cheers,
Florian

Hi again,

I checked them out, the mentioned values were non-zero.
Can you provide me your "LesHouches.in", "SPheno.spc" and ".vin" files?


Regards,
Sam

Hi,

I was using your LesHouches in (just changing the flag) and .vin file. My spc is attached.

Cheers,
Florian

Did you use my model files for SARAH or default model files of SARAH (for "SSM" model)?
Can you provide me your command lines in SARAH? Mine are:
