list index out of range

Asked by Douja Darej

Heyy !!

I am very new to Madgraph (using the new version v2_6_7, and trying to test this RPV model. But I have a problem that I guess is not attached to this. Probably there is something missing ( like an install ... ). Here is what I get when I launch my process using >launch myprocess :
Command "launch myprocess" interrupted with error:
IndexError : [Fail 5 times]
  list index out of range

in the MG5_debug :

I can't really understand where to start to know where the problem comes from, so I thought maybe it was obvious to some of you.

Thanks in advance.

Douja.

Hi,

This looks like that database of results is corrupted.
in principle you can just remove the following file:
./HTML/results.pkl
and then the code will recreate the database as needed.

Cheers,

Olivier
