Crash during p p > a [QCD]

Asked by Youngshin Kim

Hello,

Sorry for the multiple questions.

I'm trying to do the process p p > a [QCD], and it crashes with the following output.

INFO:

I'm using gcc 4.7.2, and did "make clean && make" in the ./vendor/CutTool/ because of other problem (Question #250594). I installed MadGraph again and didn't change any other setting.

Thank you.

Dear Youngshin Kim,

The process pp>a is a non-physical process. The matrix elements for a 2->1 process, with all massless particles are zero. You are probably interested in p p > a j [QCD] process.

Kind regards,
Rikkert
