Generate process give error

Asked by Charlie

Dear MG5 Group,

I created a new model use Feynrules, everything works just fine, but when I try to generate a process it gives me error.

Defined multiparticle all = g a ve vm vt ve~ vm~ vt~ u c t d s b u~ c~ t~ d~ s~ b~ z w+ h xr w- e- mu- ta- xe- e+ mu+ ta+ xe+
MG5_aMC>generate xr xr > e+ e-
INFO: Checking for minimal orders which gives processes.
INFO: Please specify coupling orders to bypass this step.
Command "generate xr xr > e+ e-" interrupted with error:
KeyError : '1'
Please report this bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo
More information is found in 'MG5_debug'.
Please attach this file to your report.

And here is what in MG5_debug

Dear Olivier,

Thanks for your answer, that solves my question, I do some modify but it give me the warning in FeynRules,

Warning: Non positive interaction order QED.
                This might reduce the efficiency of certain matrix element generators.
                See logfile for more details.

Does this matter for my calculation?

Best!
Charlie

If you always include QED<=99 QED<=99 to all processes definition (including decay) then
it should not matter. (but I have never try).

but if you try to put any real restriction via the QCD/QED then you will have for sure wrong result.

Cheers,

Olivier

PS: obviously NLO correction would always be wrong as well
