generate_events with error

Asked by vaborla

Hello,

       I want to produce the processes:
           p p > a @1
           p p > a j @2
      with pythia and delphes. (I have set the value of xqcut and qcut).

      But there are some errors:

    Command "generate_events " interrupted in sub-command:
   "generate_events" with error:
    ValueError : need more than 1 value to unpack.

  More information was found in run_01_aj_debug.log:
   generate_events
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/**/MadGraph5_v1_5_5/***/bin/internal/extended_cmd.py", line 815, in onecmd

Dear violin,

The part of the code which crash is the creation of the html interface. But the real problem is that one of your contribution is NaN.
Pointing to an un-physical contributions which is in fact the process:
p p > a which fails on its own. (This contribution should anyway be remove by any pt cut on the photon since this is a pure pt=0 contribution)

I would advise to remove that sub-sample from the matching process.

Cheers,

Olivier
