error in writing subprocesses with MadSTR

Asked by Hesham El Faham

Hi,

I am trying to generate (p p > t z w b) at NLO in QCD in the 5F scheme. I use MadSTR to account for interference with ttZ. Everything works fine in the computation part but then the program fails in writing the subprocesses giving the following error (attached along the rest of MG5_debug):
-->
set default_unset_couplings 99
set group_subprocesses Auto
set ignore_six_quark_processes False
set loop_optimized_output True
set loop_color_flows False
set gauge unitary
set complex_mass_scheme False
set max_npoint_for_channel 0
import model sm-no_b_mass
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-
define vl = ve vm vt
define vl~ = ve~ vm~ vt~
define p = 21 2 4 1 3 -2 -4 -1 -3 5 -5 # pass to 5 flavors
define j = p
import model loop_sm-no_b_mass
define p = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~ b b~
define j = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~ b b~
define w = w+ w-
define tt = t t~
define bb = b b~
generate p p > tt w z bb [QCD]
output

Dear Hesham,
the process you are trying
generate p p > tt w z bb [QCD]
has resonant contributions which appear already at the Born. This is not supported by MadSTR.
If instead you wanted to generate the t w z final state, the correct syntax is

generate p p > tt w z [QCD]

Let me know

Best wishes,

Marco
