"list index out of range" in calculate decay width

[teddym]

I want to calculate some process in model mssm-full using my own parameter cards with a final state h1 decays into two w-boson and further into three cases: dilepton, semi-lepton and full-hardronic. However the cross sections for these three situations are not in my expecting.

Dilepton : 0.0436 pb
semilep: 0.1225 pb
fullhard: 0.04594 pb

In my view, althouth there would be at least one off-shell w-boson, the ratio among these three cases would be:

dilep: semi: hard ~ 1:4:4

So I want to check the decay of higgs h1 into w- w+ in these three mode in mssm using my own parameter card, and I get this report

Hi Teddym,

Could you attach your param_card?
This seems to be linked to a syntax that I'm not parsing correctly (and/or an invalid syntax in your file)

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi
     I'm sorry I didn't notice the response before. I attach the parameter card I used. This problem happens many times when I calculate decay width.

Thanks Teddym,

I will look at this.

Cheers,

Hi Ted,

Thanks a lot for your param_card,
the problem is linked that that you don't have an empty line at the end of your file.
This will not be a problem in the next release, but in the mean time, the easiest is to add an empty line at the end of your files.

Thanks a lot for this report,

Olivier

Hi Olivier

    No more problems after adding an empty line. Thanks very much!

Ted
