[Blackmax] Running BlackMax at 8 TeV failed

[Shaoqi Hou]

To whom it may concern,

I am a graduate student at the University of Alabama. Recently, I tried to
run BlackMax to reproduce the results of Fig. 1 published in the paper JHEP
07 (2013) 178. But unfortunately, BlackMax got stuck when the center of
mass energy was set to 8 TeV. If the center of mass energy is 14 TeV or 9
TeV, BlackMax runs successfully. The attachment is the parameter file.
Please look into this problem. Thank you!

Best wishes
