Fail to reach target

Asked by Sebastian Urrutia-Quiroga

Hi all
I'm tying to generate 10k events at parton level, but I'm getting the following error message: "INFO: fail to reach target 10000". I read there was a bug in some of the previous versions, but I don't know if it is the case for mine (2.6.5).

Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi,

Probability to have a bug in (any) version is 100%.
So yes your version has a bug. You can update to 2.6.6.

Now such message is not always a bug.
it can be
1) the fact that you ask something impossible to do (like e+ e- > e+ e- without any cut)
2) the fact that you ask something which is too difficult for us to do (like some non trivial interference computation)
3) a bug

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Thank you for your quick reply. I'm trying to generate the following processes

p p > j j w- w-, w- > e- ve~
p p > j j j w- w-, w- > e- ve~

using the default cuts. Do you think the problem could rely on this, or it is more likely a bug?

Best,
Sebastian

So qcd background to vbf. That’s slightly surprising. But certainly in the very hard process to integrate.
