Decay using madspin in aQGC model
Dear experts,
I'm using the SM_LT0_UFO aQGC model in order to produce pp > l+ l- j j with the following process card:
-------
set group_subprocesses Auto
set ignore_
set loop_color_flows False
set gauge unitary
set complex_mass_scheme False
set max_npoint_
import model /cvmfs/
define vl = ve vm vt
define vl~ = ve~ vm~ vt~
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-
generate p p > j j z z QCD=0 QED=4 NP==1
output VBS_nb_
-------
Since I realized from previously opened tickets that it's not possible to ask for signal (NP==1) including the z > l+ l- decay I removed it from the process card and tried to decay Z into leptons using madspin with basic commands
> decay z > l+ l-
> launch
but it exits with the following error message:
MadSpin>launch

Any idea what's the problem about and if I can bypass it?
Thank you in advance
