Issue with effective operators

Asked by Dipyaman Pramanik

Dear All,

I am trying to generate events for a model containing effective operators (four Fermi types). I was getting the following error :

Error when reading /Users/dipyamanpramanik/Downloads/MG5_aMC_v2_6_4/testmg/SubProcesses/P1_uux_chichix/G1/results.dat
Command "generate_events run_06" interrupted with error:
ValueError : need more than 5 values to unpack
Please report this bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo
More information is found in '/Users/dipyamanpramanik/Downloads/MG5_aMC_v2_6_4/testmg/run_06_tag_1_debug.log'.
Please attach this file to your report.

I changed the value of dynamical_scale_choice to 3 and the problem was solved. However, when I am trying to run the model in maddump with an electron interaction, it seems that in the electron interaction process, the scale choice is again set to -1. I have even tried with standard madgraph with multiple processes. I am getting similar problems in the secondary processes.

I would be grateful to you if you kindly help me with this issue. I am also pasting the log file below.

Thanks in advance,
Dipyaman

Hi,

This bug was partly solve in 2.6.5.
So you might want to try again with that version.
If this is still not working, you can try this alpha version:
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mg5core1/mg5amcnlo/2.6.6/tarball/290

Cheers,

Olivier

However, when I am trying to run the model in maddump with an electron interaction, it seems that in the electron interaction process, the scale choice is again set to -1. I have even tried with standard madgraph with multiple processes. I am getting similar problems in the secondary processes.
