ws in stop decay not decaying
Hi, I'm trying to generate stop production and dileptonic decay directly in MG5 (banner card appended below), but the actual process generated only goes down to the ws, and doesn't decay the ws leptonically like I want. I don't think I'm running into the limit on the number of particles in the final state, but is there some limit to the number of steps you can ask for in a decay chain?
Cheers,
Rakhi

# *
# Please note the following IMPORTANT issues: *
# *
# 0. REFRAIN from editing this file by hand! Some of the parame- *
# ters are not independent *
# (such as G_Fermi, alpha_em, sin(theta_W),MZ,MW) and serious *
# problems might be encountered (such as violation of unitarity *
# or gauge invariance). Always use a calculator. *
# *
# 1. alpha_S(MZ) has been used in the calculation of the parameters *
# but, for consistency, it will be reset by madgraph to the *
# value expected IF the pdfs for collisions with hadrons are *
# used. This value is KEPT by madgraph when no pdf are used *
# lpp(i)=0 . *
# *
# 2. Values of the charm and bottom kinematic (pole) masses are *
# those used in the matrix elements and phase space UNLESS they *
# are set to ZERO from the start in the model (particles.dat) *
# This happens, for example, when using 5-flavor QCD where *
# charm and bottom are treated as partons in the initial state *
# and a zero mass might be hardwired in the model definition. *
