aMCatNLOError : Some tests failed, run cannot continue.
Dear MG/aMC@NLO experts,
I hope this is the right place to ask my question.
I'm willing to calculate NLO cross-section of the tllq SM process using aMC@NLO. I'm putting my proc_card at the end of this message. But at the event generation step (after typing "launch", updating configuration and starting the generation) I'm getting an error that I'm not able to understand. The last few lines dumped on the screen before the crash are :
.

.
Collinear tests done for (Born) config 1
Failures: 1
Collinear test 5 PASSED. Fraction of failures: 0.01
======
NEW FKS CONFIGURATION:
FKS configuration number is 6
FKS partons are: i= 6 j= 2
with PDGs: i= -5 j= 21
Enter graph number (iconfig), '0' loops over all graphs
Fatal error in set_tau_min

aMCatNLOError : Some tests failed, run cannot continue.
Please check that widths of final state particles (e.g. top) have been set to 0 in the param_card.dat.
I copy/pasted the log at the end of this email. I put explicitly the width of the top mass to 0 in the param_card, but it didn't change anything. This is the first time I'm using aMC@NLO, so most probably I did something wrong, and I'm not able to find where my mistake is. Help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Jeremy
-------
The proc_card I used is the following :
import model sm
define p g u c s d b u~ c~ s~ d~ b~
define j = p
define l+ e+ mu+ ta+
define l- e- mu- ta-
define vl ve vm vt
define vl~ ve~ vm~ vt~
generate p p > t l- l+ j / h [QCD] @0
add process p p > t~ l- l+ j / h [QCD] @1
