not enough events

Asked by 王世钰

Dear expert,

I am trying to generate such a process, but no matter how I adjust the parameters in run_card, it still cannot generate the number of cases.

May I ask if there are any other methods that can be tried again?

#1

what is the mass/width of all the particle that you require to be onshell?

I would guess that the issue is Narrow width Approximation (or zero width)

Cheers,

Olivier

Your tau width is set to zero, so it can not decay (the cross-section is infinite).

So either have to stop at tau level and use another tool to do the tau decay or change your model to allow a model where the tau width is not hardcoded to zero.

Cheers,

olivier
