Maximum probability required for VTOSLL EvtGen model
Open, NormalPublic
Actions

Description

The EvtGen decay model EvtVtoSll (VTOSLL) does not set a maximum decay probability. Choosing a value of 10 still produces "prob > probmax" warnings, since the probability distribution is peaked at low values but has a very long, extensive tail. Selecting higher max values reduces the accept/reject efficiency, eventually leading to just generating phase-space events.
