Bug Description

Hi,

MG5_aMC is crashing when automatically calculation widths using the Pseudoscalar_2HDM model (*):

Command "generate_events run_01" interrupted in sub-command:
"set max_npoint_for_channel 0" with error:
KeyError : 2

Versions 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 seem to be affected, the same thing used to work in 2.6.7.
We are using python2.

We are essentially calling:
> import model Pseudoscalar_2HDM-bbMET_5FS --modelname
> generate p p > t t~ #doesn't really matter
> output test
> launch
> done
> set Wh1 auto
> set Wh2 auto
> set Wh3 auto
> set Wh4 auto
> done

I've copied the MG5_debug at the bottom of this message (there is also a ME5_debug file which is empty).

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Hannes

Hi,

This is clearly related to a bug that we have fixed in 2.8.1 (the bug fixing was related to identical in the final state where some diagram were not included). Looks like for your process some 4 body diagram added due to that issue have some issue with the meta-data leading to this crash.

This is likely to be quite long to fix (and I would not recommend to use older version in your case).

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

thanks!
Just to make sure I get it right because there is a large set of samples depending on this: this is buggy versions older than 2.8.1 and crashes from 2.8.1 onwards, meaning we cannot use the auto width calculation for this model? Is there a workaround you can recommend?

Cheers,
Hannes

Hi,

I would suggest to compute the width in a different way (analytically if possible).
and compare the result with the 2.8.0 (or earlier version) this will tell you how big that bug is in your case.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

thanks. Final question: what is the extend of the bug in the older releases? Which processes, models, or use cases would be affected by it?

So this a bug affecting only the computation of the auto-width.
This affects computation of width for
1>3 and 1>4 with identical particles in the final state.

So for the model/processes affected this obviously only impact processes where
1>2 body decay are not the main bluk of the width (which should be most of the model obviously)

Cheers,

Olivier
