InvalidCmd : No matrix elements generated, check overall coupling orders

Could you try with the latest version of MG5_aMC? and check if this is still happens or not?

Cheers,

Olivier

Dear Olivier,

Thanks for the quick reply. I have just tried the latest version of MG5_aMC and the same error occurs.

Cheers,
Ines

Ok,

Could you share your cards, such that I can then reproduce your error and check the reason of this problem.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

You can find the set of cards that were used here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/192956/cardsUsed.tar.gz

Thanks!
Ines

Thanks,

Now I’m able to reproduce the problem. Looks like it happens only when one (or both) Z decayed into b jet.
No idea why this is a problem yet.

I’ll keep you in touch,

Olivier

Thanks Olivier!
Ines

Thanks Olivier Mattelaer, that solved my question.

Hi Olivier,

Thanks a lot for spotting this, I didn't realize at all that this info was missing.

Cheers
Ines
