Hi,

So this is not a model but a restriction of a model.
When you have an “-“ in a model this means
1) load the model sm (in general what is before the “-")
2) remove some part of the model with the rule (defined by what is after the “-“)

- if you do not have any “-“ then we use then we remove the some part of the model according the rule “default”
- if after the “-“ the rule is full then we do not apply any restrictions rule at all.

So in your case, you have the model “sm”.
But you miss the file defining the restriction file.
This files should be name restrict_ckm_no_b_mass.dat and should be put in the UFO model directory:
i.e.
> /afs/cern.ch/work/a/astepenn/CMSSW_7_4_7_patch1/src/madgraph/MG5_aMC_v2_3_3/models/sm/restrict_ckm_no_b_mass.dat

you can find some instructions on the following FAQ:
https://answers.launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo/+faq/2312
(and plenty of example in the sm directory)

You can also create such restriction for the sm model with the command
import model sm
customize_model —save=ckm_no_b_mass
and answer the question ask.

At the end it will create the above file (if you have write access obviously)

Cheers,

Olivier
