Dear Jan,

Please find the model in the attachment. This is a simple L_\mu - L_\tau
model.
I only have 4 BSM parameters here{*qpsi,mx,ra,gX*} : one is dm charge *qpsi*,
which is not relevant with our problem. Another is *mx*, which is the mass
of the mediator gauge boson. Then the *ra*, defines the ratio between dark
matter mass and gauge boson mass. And *gX* defines the gauge coupling. They
are in *L23input* section.
when varying r (ra) I fixed all the other parameters. I think their value
is the same as in launch.txt.
I also put the output file in the attachment.
The plot <sigmav> vs r is somehow gotten by hand. I used the function
*taacs_check
*for each point and picked a certain value.
Hope everything will work out well.

Bests,
Wenbin
