KeyError : 'xdxdx_ll' Computing sigmav with method: madevent

[Mattia Di Mauro]

I am running the model DMsimp_s_spin1 using the following commands:

####################
import model DMsimp_s_spin1
define darkmatter xd
generate relic_density
add direct_detection
add indirect_detection
output Spin1_06052022_sigmav
launch Spin1_06052022_sigmav
####################

Then I calculate only the sigmav:

####################
The following switches determine which programs are run:
/==================== Description ====================|=============== values ===============|======== other options =========\
| 1. Compute the Relic Density | relic = OFF | ON |
| 2. Compute direct(ional) detection | direct = OFF | directional|direct |
| 3. Compute indirect detection/flux (cont spectrum) | indirect = sigmav | flux_source|flux_earth|OFF |
| 4. Compute indirect detection in aX (line spectrum) | spectral = OFF | Please install module |
| 5. Run Multinest scan | nestscan = OFF | Please install module |
\=============================================================================================================================/
####################

I set:

####################
set MXd 500
set sigmav_method = madevent
set precise
####################

I obtain the following error:

####################
Command "launch Spin1_06052022_sigmav" interrupted with error:
KeyError : 'xdxdx_ll'

####################

The same run for the model DMsimp_s_spin0 works!

You can find in the attached zip file the Cards folder with the MG5_debug file.
Thanks for the consideration!

Hi Mattia,

I committed a fix in the lp:~maddm/maddm/process_keys which you can download.

The main issue is that MadGraph automatically groups different subprocesses when it is faster to compute them together. So they appear like dmdm_ll (for leptons) and dmdm_vlvl (for neutrinos). So far it is not possible to translate back the key name to one of a generated process.

Cheers.

Hi Daniele,

thanks for the help and to have committed a fix.
I am quite new of the bzr system.
I have installed it and done bzr branch lp:~maddm/maddm/process_keys.
I think I downloaded correctly. Should I reinstall maddm?
How can I see the available branches (I am more used to github)?
Is there a way to move from the branch to the master version?
Thanks for the consideration.

I tried to rerun the example and getting the same error so I think I did not get correctly the branch with the fix. Can you give me some guidance how to have the fix working?

[Olivier Mattelaer (olivier-mattelaer)]

you can do
rm -rf PLUGIN/maddm
cd PLUGIN
bzr branch lp:~maddm/maddm/process_keys maddm

and you should have it.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Mattia,

you download the branch with `bzr branch lp:~maddm/maddm/process_keys` as you did.
This will create a directory which is called process_keys in the current working directory.
In order to use that branch as the new maddm, you need to substitute the content of the directory $madgraph_path/PLUGIN/maddm with the content of process_keys.

This is what I usually do (I switch the maddm version between branches by soft linking the maddm directory in the madgraph folder with the branch directory which I keep in another folder).
I am also not acquainted with the bazaar branch management yet, so maybe @olivier could help in case.

Cheers.

Thanks for the suggestions. It works!
As usual many thanks for your help!
I really appreciate it!
