e+e- > W+ W- b b~ not working at NLO

Asked by Fernando Romero

Dear madgraph experts,

I am trying to compute the cross-section of e+e- > W+ W- b b~ at NLO. What I do is the following:

generate e+ e- > W+ W- b b~ QED=4 QCD=0 [ all= QCD ] QCD=4
set complex_mass_scheme
output eewwbb
launch eewwbb

The launch takes place with the default parameters. However, this happens:

INFO: Starting run
INFO: Compiling the code
INFO: Lepton-Lepton collision: Ignoring 'pdlabel' and 'lhaid' in the run_card.
INFO: Compiling source...
INFO: ...done, continuing with P* directories

Dear Fernando,

Processes with intermediate resonances that are charged under QCD are not (yet) officially supported.

best regards,
Rikkert
