Error importing model into MadGraph

Asked by ayon patra

Hi,

I am trying to import a model into MadGraph. The model files were generated by SARAH-4.8.6 but when I try to import the model into MadGraph_2.6.1 or 2.6.3.2, I get the following error message:

Command "import model ./models/LRTSUSYN" interrupted with error:
TypeError : bad operand type for unary -: 'NoneType'

Hi,

Likely to be a SARAH issue.

Can you put here the defintion of the
gZp

particle since it seems that this is the problem (I would bet that that pdg code of that particle is not correctly define but this is just a bet)

Cheers,

Olivier

Dear Olivier,

  Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I was using wrong pdg numbers for several particles and hence those errors were arising. I have changed the pdg codes to their correct values in SARAH files and now it is running properly and I can import the model into MadGraph.

  Thanks once again.

Ayon
