Missing ET cut missing in run_card.dat

Hi,

We have a missing ET cutbut is only applied on neutrino.
Since you do not have any neutrino in the final state, we do not writte it in the run_card

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

I thought dark matter in the final state contributes towards missing transverse energy/momentum. Isn't this not the case? Is this not implemented in madgraph?

Thanks.
