pythia shower Error type 2 colour tag tracing failed

Hi,

This sounds a pure pythia problem. Can not really comment on this.
You should try to use PY8 instead of PY6.
Especially since PY6 is not supported anymore (neither buy their original author/pythia author or by us for that interface --especially since we have introduce a PY8 interface)

Cheers,

Hello,

I just tried Pythia 8, and there are still problems:

 | 100 Error in ProcessLevel::checkColours: unphysical colour flow |
 | 100 Error in ProcessLevel::findJunctions: N(unmatched (anti)colour tags) != 3

My lhe file is here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eet18ay1xkmp4xb/AAD08fvnGtp6YYZMpXdqI80Ja?dl=0

Thank you!

Simon

Hi,

The colour flow of your events seems to be perfectly valid to me.
They are like tt~ sample with decay in wb

Do not see anything wrong.

I would suggest to ask Pythia8 author.
And came back to us if they point an error inside that Lhe file.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Simon,

I am facing your same Pythia8 problem with a model with exotic quarks.
May I know if your problem was solved? And in that case, how?

Thanks a lot,

Matt
