SLHA2/SPhenoSARAH incompatibility with MG5_aMC_v2_5_5

Hi,

I have discuss with Sarah author recently and my understanding of their code/relation to SPHENO is the following:
1) they develop specific UFO model inside SARAH
2) they develop specific SPHENO module for that specific UFO model

So my guess is that you are using the SPHENO module on the not correct UFO model.
So I would suggest to check that point and/or contact SPHENO/Sarah authors for more information

Cheers,

Olivier
