STOPMIX and Param-Card

Asked by Felix Kling

Hi

I want to genenrate a valid param_card for Madgraph using the information provided by Susyhit. Susyhit generates a SLHA file. I have found in an earlier answered question, that I should easyly be able to convert the SLHA file to a param_card. (See: "Using SLHA-1 Spectrum file w/ Madgraph 5 pythia8 output" ) . In principle this works (I can generate a PARAM_CARD). But when i start MG5, i get an error message:

KeyError : 'stopmix'

The debug.log file says the following:

  File "/home/felix/work/MadGraph5_v1_5_9/ELEKTROWEAKINO/PROCESSES/SIGNAL_XX_200_100_100/bin/internal/check_param_card.py", line 969, in convert_to_mg5card
    card.mod_param('stopmix', [1,1], 'usqmix', [3,3])
  File "/home/felix/work/MadGraph5_v1_5_9/ELEKTROWEAKINO/PROCESSES/SIGNAL_XX_200_100_100/bin/internal/check_param_card.py", line 432, in mod_param
    old_block = self[old_block]
KeyError: 'stopmix'

I looked in the generated PARAM_CARD and found that the stop mixing information is provided:

###################################
## INFORMATION FOR USQMIX
###################################

      2 2 1.000000e+00 #

      6 3 -9.992691e-01 # -sin(theta_t)
      6 6 3.822624e-02 # cos(theta_t)

What can I do to make MG5 work?

Looks like your file is an SLHA2 file input.

So could you try the following:

cp -r models/mssm models/MYMSSM

then do
./bin/mg5_amc
import model MYMSSM
….

Like this MG5 will support the SLHA2 format.

Cheers,

Olivier
