FATAL ERROR: ISR/EPA handler: event does not contain two radiated particles
Hi,
I am trying to simulate the process e+e- -> t tbar, with each top decaying as t -> W b -> l nu b, i.e. dileptonic channel. I am getting the following error:
FATAL ERROR: ISR/EPA handler: event does not contain two radiated particles
I paste the .sin file below. I am using version 2.8.4. Thanks for your help!
