MG5_aMC v3.3.0 Fails to Import Custom ALP-HNL UFO Due to CTParameters Generated by FeynRules Couplings
Dear MadGraph Experts,
I am trying to simulate processes at the LHC and muon collider, specifically:pp → a → NN → ℓ W ℓ W,μμ → a → NN → ℓ W ℓ W,where the main goal is to produce heavy neutral leptons (Majorana-type HNL) via an ALP mediator.
I built a custom UFO model based on the official FeynRules models heavyN.fr and ALP_linear.fr. I redefined a new ALP-HNL coupling Lagrangian and the associated parameters (see my model files pasted at the end). I exported the UFO using Mathematica 13.0 on Linux.
When importing the model in MG5_aMC v3.3.0 for the first time using:import model alphnl1_UFO/I encountered the following error:
Command "import model alphnl1_UFO/" interrupted with error:
UFOError : invalid syntax (object_library.py, line 268)
Please report this bug on https:/
More information is found in 'MG5_debug'.
Please attach this file to your report.
The relevant snippet in object_library.py around line 268 is:CTparam=None
for param in all_CTparameters:
pattern=
numberOfMat
if numberOfMatches==1:
if not CTparam:
else:
raise UFOError("UFO does not support yet more than one occurence of CTParameters in the couplings values.")
elif numberOfMatches>1:
raise UFOError("UFO does not support yet more than one occurence of CTParameters in the couplings values.")
When I try to import the model a second time, I get a different error:
Error detected in "import model alphnl1_UFO/"
write debug file MG5_debug
str : name cAN1 define multiple time. Please correct the UFO model!
My questions are:
1.Could these errors be caused by my FeynRules implementation of the new ALP-HNL couplings, which inadvertently generated CTParameters in the UFO, leading to the import errors in MG5?
2.Is this a compatibility issue with MG5_aMC v3.3.0 and Mathematica 13.0 exported UFOs?
3.Are there recommended ways to modify my UFO so that MG5 can import it correctly, avoiding both the CTParameters and multiple-definition errors?
Thank you very much for your guidance.
