[FIXED] Problem with UseEvtGenDirect
type: item
description: Hi there and best wishes for 2013! I try to run macro/run/sim_complete.C using the UseEvtGenDirect. My .dec file looks like this: noPhotos Decay pbarpSystem 1.0 J/psi pi+ pi- PHSP; Enddecay End Running this results in the error message: root.exe: /vol0/panda/pandasep12/pandaroot/pgenerators/EvtGen/EvtGenBase/EvtIntervalFlatPdf.cc:19: EvtIntervalFlatPdf::EvtIntervalFlatPdf(double, double): Assertion `max >= min' failed. If I replace the "J/psi" by a "phi" everything works. What is the problem here?

description: I used BeamMomentum =10.0; I tried 15.0 GeV as well. Then if I add a decay like Decay J/psi 1.0 e+ e- VLL; Enddecay I get the same error message. Without decay chain the error message is different: EvtGen:End of decay chain. EvtGen:Sorry, no luck finding a valid set of masses. This may be a pathological combo root.exe: /vol0/panda/pandasep12/pandaroot/pgenerators/EvtGen/EvtGenBase/EvtParticle.cc:466: void EvtParticle::generateMassTree(): Assertion `0' failed.

description: Good call, Stefano! When I checked this, I saw that it uses "mom" and not "Beam momentum" to determine the incident beam. So it's solved. Thanks very much. Greetings, Ronald

description: "mom" is the momentum for the generator, i.e. pbar momentum for evtgen, particle gun momentum for box, pbar momemtum for dpm. BeamMomentum is the momentum for the scaling of the dipole field.
