Comment 3 for bug 1759375

Hi Philipp,

I have run this on a cluster so far and the error seems to be related to some issue in the model:
on the cluster, the cross-section evaluated is: nan +- nan

I have run the debugger and the problem seems to be for (some) of the channel of
d3d3bar_c2bare2

The contribution is so small that we hit some numerical inaccuracy.
(the code tries to evaluates 1e-171*1e-171 for example).
Other numerical issue are following that issue including some division by zero.

So you need to be smarter in the way you generate that sample.
(i.e. you have to simplify your model)
1) you have kept the mass of the light quark to be different of zero.
This is highly inefficient for LHC run.
2) your model seems to have extremely small coupling.

so what I suggest is that you take your param_card and
1) set all the mass of the light quark to zero (including the b mass since it is in the initital state)
2) move that card to your UFO model directory under the name restrict_mybenchmark.dat
3) then change your way to import your model
import model UFO_MSSMTriRpV-mybenchmark

By doing this,
1) the survey runs in 2 second instead of 20 min!
2) you avoid such numerical issue.

Cheers,

Olivier
