NLO EWK corrections to ttZ
Dear MadGraph experts,
I am trying to reproduce the results from section 6.3 of https:/
generate p p > t t~ z QED=3 QCD=2 [QCD QED]
Using MG v3.0.3 I however get an exception
Exception : program /Users/
The debug log is pasted below, any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Baptiste
