Error in GM NLO generation with MadSpin

Asked by Benjamin Freund

I am running MadGraph with Athena, the MadGraph version is 5.2.6.0.
I am trying to produce signal samples with the GM model with the following command:

define p = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~
define j = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~
define l+ = e+ mu+
define l- = e- mu-
define l+ = e+ mu+ ta+
define l- = e- mu- ta-
define vl = ve vm vt
define vl~ = ve~ vm~ vt~
import model GM_UFO_nlo
generate p p > H5p > w+ z j j $$ w+ w- z [QCD] @1
add process p p > H5p~ > w- z j j $$ w+ w- z [QCD] @2

The event generation works without problem, the error occurs when trying to decay the W/Z bosons with MadSpin:

What is strange is that when I run a local copy of Madspin on the events.lhe I runs without problem, so I am not sure why the problem only occurs in Athena. Do you have any idea why MadSpin seems to have problems loading the Model and decaying the W and Z bosons?

Here is also the debug log with more information:

Hi,

I actually fail to reproduce your error both in 2.6.0 and in the development version.
Maybe your model is not the same as the one online?

Can you check if your model is the same as the following one:
http://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/attachment/wiki/GeorgiMachacekModel/GM_UFO_nlo.tar.gz

Cheers,

Olivier

Can you help with this problem?
