Bug Description

Generating simple Zero cross section with e- e+ > mu- mu+, with

     0 = lpp1 ! beam 1 type
     0 = lpp2 ! beam 2 type
     5.0 = ebeam1 ! beam 1 total energy in GeV
     5.0 = ebeam2 ! beam 2 total energy in GeV

in the run card, but get

Survey return zero cross section.
   Typical reasons are the following:
   1) A massive s-channel particle has a width set to zero.
   2) The pdf are zero for at least one of the initial state particles
      or you are using maxjetflavor=4 for initial state b:s.
   3) The cuts are too strong.
   Please check/correct your param_card and/or your run_card.

Any suggestion from the experts?

What are the cut on the muon?

Cheers,
