How to run NLO EW for lepton collisions at MG5
I want to calculate NLO EW corrections for lepton collisions at MG5, so I followed the guidance of https:/
I have install the eMELA with the MG5 command install eMELA, and set the pdlabel = emela.
However I still can't run the process e+ e- > w+ w- [QED] at MG5, after launch auto, it return the following error:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/
It seems that emela also needs a pdfset.index like LHAPDF, but I can't find the share file or the pdfsets.index in the default installed directory of emela.
Sometimes, I can run the NLO EW + LL for the above process with the pdlabel = isronlyll, sometimes it failes.
So I want to how to calculate the NLO EW corrections for lepton collisions at MG5, and the NLOEW +LL mode is correct or not ?
Here is my log file.
