Generating some SM background

Asked by Safinaz

Hello,

I study a new particle having the following particles in its final state: " b b~ b b~ mu- mu+ vm~ vm",
so to see the background I generate " p p > b b~ b b~ mu- mu+ vm~ vm" in the SM. I think it's ok until now, but MadGraph gives the following error after launching the last process:

MadGraph5Error : A compilation Error occurs when trying to compile /home/safi/RECENT-9-14/MadGraph5_v1_5_12/del/SubProcesses/P0_gg_bbxbbxllvlvl.
 The compilation fails with the following output message:
     gfortran -O -w -ffixed-line-length-132 -w -c -o symmetry.o symmetry.f

 Please try to fix this compilations issue and retry.

I'm using MadGraph5_v1_5_12, so what is the problem ?

Thanks,

Hi,

This process has a lot of diagram and needs a lot of RAM in order to compile.
Either your compiler version does not allow to compile such large program or your system do not have enough memory for such large process.

Either way, I would suggest of considering other way of generating your background.

Cheers,

Olivier
