maddm3.2 showing pythia showering errors while calculating the flux source and flux earth for DM indirect search

Asked by Rahul Puri

While calculating the flux for dm indirect search in the available models namely mssm, nmssm etc. we encounter pythia showering issues. We run the code by adopting both madevent and reshuffling methods. We found that sometimes the code for a particular parameter card runs successfully, however in the very next run with exactly the same card shows the following error.

 std::out_of_range in pythia8.log.

To note, we have installed pythia8 internally using the command maddm> install pythia8

For convenience, below we paste the relevant part of the Pythia log file of our run.

This sounds a pure internal bug of pythia, on which we will have no control at all.
Pythia authors might be able to help (I hope for you)

Cheers,
