problem using small width for the decaying particle (Heavy neutral lepton)
Hi
I am using this script to generate a sample for HNL with 100 mm decay length (long lived)
import model SM_HeavyN_NLO
define ee = e+ e-
define mm = mu+ mu-
define ll = e+ e- mu+ mu-
define vv = ve ve~ vm vm~ vt vt~
generate p p > n1 > mu- mu- mu+ vm [QCD]
output ATLAS_HeavyN_
launch ATLAS_HeavyN_
order=nlo
shower=py8
madspin=off
set VeN1 0
set VmuN1 1
set VtaN1 0
set mN1 10
set mN2 1e12
set mN3 1e12
set wn1 197.4635212e-13 #(100 mm)
set LHC 13
set pdlabel lhapdf
set lhaid 260000
set reweight_scale true
set reweight_PDF true
set dynamical_
set nevents 4000
set no_parton_cut
set jetradius 0.4
done
but the code runs for ever and stuck in this part:

So I just changed the value of width to see if it works, for
wn1 =197.4635212e-10
There is no problem any more.
when I use mad spin for n1 decay, also I don't have any problem,
I was wondering for the case of NLO and small width can Madgraph handle the spin correlation effects properly? or we should use madspin?
many thanks
