Invalid param_card

Post by Amin » 20. Oct 2017, 03:02

Hi Florian,

I am trying to generate events in Madgraph 2.5.5 using the MSSM from SARAH. I have successfully created the Feynman diagrams.
When I try to generate events, MG5 gives me this error:
ERROR: Current param_card is not valid. We are going to use the default one.
ERROR: problem detected: decay (1000001,) is already define to 187.513049 impossible to assign 1000001 7.06666394e+00
I have followed exactly the steps in the manual and I set the flag on 520 to 0. The param_card I am using is attached (changed extension to txt so I can upload it).
When I run "write_param_card.py" in the model files, I get a param_card which is very different from the SPheno.spc file. Has there been any recent changes that I am not aware of or are there other flags I need to set?

Thank you,
Amin

Hi,

MG might get confused by the one-loop decays (DECAY1L). You can try to remove those at the end of the file, or set flag 16 to 0 to turn off completely the calculation.

Cheers,
Florian
