Error when running madspin (KeyError: -11)

Asked by Sihyun Jeon

Hi Olivier,

I have been getting trouble with madspin using mg2.6.3.2.

command line after ./bin/mg5 is like below (EffLRSM_NLO is in http://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/wiki/EffLRSM)

import model EffLRSM_NLO
define e = e+ e-
define j = u d c s b t u~ d~ c~ s~ b~ t~
generate p p > n1 e [QCD]

and in the madspin

set spinmode none # Use one of the madspin special mode
decay n1 > e+ j j
decay n1 > e- j j

but it seems it's not running.

Command "launch auto " interrupted with error:
KeyError : -11

Can you help me with this?

Hi,

Thanks for the report. Here is the patch to make it work:

Just for information, that this model is in your database, so if you give that command:
> import model EffLRSM_NLO
and that such model is not installed on your machine, it will automatically download it from the above link.

Cheers and thanks,

Olivier

PS: this will be release in 2.6.4

Thanks Olivier Mattelaer, that solved my question.
