Failed to generate the requested number of events
Dear all,
I am trying to generate a process p p > b b b b~ b~ b~. I am specifying the number of events to be 10k but only get 339 events. I know it is something related with integration over divergencies. I tried to change ptb and etab in the run card, then get 4207 events.
The run_card.dat can be found bellow.
I have no idea, could you please help me find the exact reason of less number of events in my case?
Thanks in advance.
