Unable to calculate indirect detection spectra in precise mode with MG5_2.9.12 and Maddm 3.2

Asked by Kasinath Das

Dear MadDM team,
    I am using MadDM version 3.2 with madgraph version 2.9.12. I am trying to calculate the indirect detection spectras in precise mode with the following commands.

import model MSSM_SLHA2
define darkmatter n1
add indirect_detection u u~ a
output Example_2
launch Example_2
set Mneu1 1100
set Msu1 1150

At this point, maddm shows me the option to switch the settings regarding shower/hadronization etc. After giving "1" as input it takes a long time and finally unable to give results. I am getting the following message.

Helicity recycling optimization requires Python3. This optimzation is therefore deactivated automatically.
            In general this optimization speed up the computation be a factor of two.
INFO: Computing sigmav with method: reshuffling
The following switches determine which programs are run:
/=============================================================================\
| 1. Choose the shower/hadronization program shower = OFF |
| 2. Choose the detector simulation program detector = Not Avail. |
| 3. Choose an analysis package (plot/convert) analysis = Not Avail. |
| 4. Decay onshell particles madspin = OFF |
| 5. Add weights to events for new hypp. reweight = OFF |
\=============================================================================/
Either type the switch number (1 to 5) to change its setting,
Set any switch explicitly (e.g. type 'shower=Pythia8' at the prompt)
Type 'help' for the list of all valid option
Type '0', 'auto', 'done' or just press enter when you are done.

Command "launch Example_2" interrupted with error:

Hi Kasinath Das,

I tried to run the process in MadDM v3.2.4 (the latest one which is automatically installed when running the command 'install maddm' inside the MadGraph prompt) and MadGraph 2.9.12 and everything works fine.
Notice that in order to compute the spectra you need to set 'indirect = flux_source' in the same prompt you are also setting the masses.
The other prompt you mentioned you press 1 is just a log of the program and not a real prompt.
The computation takes a while but goes through.

Cheers.
