Fail to reach target "event number"

Hi,

What is the width of the tau?
If it is zero (My guess is that this is the case) then your cross-section is infinite for such process and it is impossible to generate more than one event.

This being said, it is likely that the physical width of the tau would be too small for madgraph to handle it correctly numerically. Consequently madgraph will automatically use a much larger width for the phase-space integration (1e-8 times the tau mass) to avoid numerical issue

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi，
The problem is resolved as you described.
I give the tau a larger decay width and I get the events number which I set in the run_card.dat.
Thank you vary much.

best,
