Using MadSpin to decay NLO process events

Hi,

This seems to be a problem related to your model.
MadSpin fails to determine the list of massless QCD particles for your model.
Would you be able to tell me the name of your model (if this is one available on the FR website)
or give me a way to download it?

> So is that mean I must use spinmode none ?

Well if your H5p has a very small width, then this is a good option otherwise i would not advise it.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier:

Does this means that I should directly set the mass of light quarks to be zero in the FeynRule ? Or I can also use a restrict file when I load the model files in MG5?

The model files are not available right now. We plan to upload it to FR website, but before that we want to check that it has no problem running with MG5.

However, this problem reproduced when I use loop_sm model in MG5 with all default settings.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Olivier:
   Thanks so much. That solves my problems!

Thanks Olivier Mattelaer, that solved my question.

I have pushed a fix in the development version, the problem was not the "all=" but the presence of a space after the equal that was preventing MadSpin to react accordingly.

Cheers,

Olivier
