SMEFTatNLO not converging with top and photon in final state
Dear experts,
I am using MG5 3.3.2 with the SMEFTatNLO model to generate the tWa process at NLO in QCD. The restrict_NLO.dat card that I am using is pasted at the bottom.
The generation of the pp->tWa process does not converge, as during generation there are jobs stuck indefinitely. To factor out that this could be due to the Diagram Removal I am applying, I have tested the same with generating the tqa process, but also in this case the generation does not converge. A noticeable difference is that everything works well in case I try to generate the tta process.
I paste here also the run_banners for tWa and tqa.
For tqa, I have tried setting nlo_mixed_expansion at both True and False and both giving the coupling orders linear or squared in the proc_card.dat. I am not sure what it should be of the acknowledged_
Is there something I am not considering with the generation of these processes?
Thank you for your help.
Best,
Michel
