zprime missing in some events in p p > zp > mu+ mu-
Hi,
I am trying to produce events for p p > zp > mu+ mu- where zp is a z prime.
Unfortunately when I look into the lhe file some of the event don't have the z prime.
So a normal event looks like
<event>

I have absolutely no idea why that is. I would appreciate your help.
I can also provide the model I'm using in case you need to take a look.
