ValueError : math domain error

Asked by ouseph cj

Hi MadGraph Experts ,
I am generating a process as follows,

p vl > j vl, with the following run card, I am getting this error,

Hi,

I do not reproduce the exact same error as you with the latest version.
However I still face issue with the latest version of the code and you will find
here the patch (and a tarball to a fixed version) that fixes the remaining issue for me:
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~maddevelopers/mg5amcnlo/2.8.3.py2/revision/303 <https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~maddevelopers/mg5amcnlo/2.8.3.py2/revision/303>

Thanks for the report,

Olivier
