Error in generating events

Asked by Ekaterina

Hello dear experts!

I am having a problem generating events in MadGraph.
 In the LanHEP package, I created a new model. In this model, a doubly charged particle X decays into two positrons and a gamma.

This is what I have in LanHEP:

model DMsimplescalar/1.
scalar x/X : ('X', mass MX1=1000, pdg 9000008).
spinor 'e-'/'e+' : ('Electron', pdg 11 ).
vector A/A : ('Photon',gauge).
parameter a1=1,b1=1,EE = 0.31333 : 'Electromagnetic coupling constant (<->1/128)'.

lterm X*anti(cc('e-'))*(a1+b1*gamma5)*'e+' + AddHermConj.
lterm -EE*A*x*deriv*X+ AddHermConj.
lterm -EE*'e-'*gamma*'e+'*A.

Next, I got the file in UFO format.
 In MadGraph, I import my model and generated events.

MG5_aMC>import model
MG5_aMC> generate x > e+ e+ a
MG5_aMC> output
MG5_aMC> launch

 Further after the launch command, I get the following message

Command "generate_events run_01" interrupted with error:
KeyError : 'ZERO'
More information is found in 'ME5_debug'.

Ca i send you the ME5_debug file?
What could be the mistake here?

attachment are only possible for bug report (so please create a bug report)

The KeyError ZERO is something that I have never seen before but it is likely linked to the model. So When I will have a bit more detail on what's going on, I will likely tell you to contact LanHep author in order to ask them to fix the model.

Cheers,

Olivier
