MadGraph sometimes crashes during automatic width computation
Dear MadGraph experts,
I am studying an extension of the SM introducing an additional scalar sector. The automatic width computation sometimes causes MadGraph to crash when running compute_widths. The crash only occurs when calculating three-body decays, although there are certain particle masses for which the three-body decays are calculated as expected.
The error message is the following:
Command "generate_events run_01" interrupted in sub-command:
"set nlo_mixed_expansion True" with error:
ValueError : -24 is not in list
I am appending the MG5_debug file at the end of this post.
I have checked that this error occurs in MadGraph versions 3.3.1, 3.3.0 and 2.9.7.
I would be thankful for any help.
Leonard
