! ! Pythia8 cmd card automatically generated by MadGraph5_aMC@NLO ! For more information on the use of the MG5aMC / Pythia8 interface, visit ! https://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/projects/madgraph/wiki/LOPY8Merging ! ! ================== ! General parameters ! ================== ! Main:numberOfEvents = -1 ! ! ------------------------------------------------------------------- ! Specify the HEPMC output of the Pythia8 shower. You can set it to: ! auto : MG5aMC will automatically place it the run_ directory ! /dev/null : to turn off the HEPMC output. ! : to select where the HEPMC file must written. It will ! therefore not be placed in the run_ directory. The ! specified path, if not absolute, will be relative to ! the Event/run_ directory of the process output. ! fifo : to have MG5aMC setup the piping of the PY8 output to ! analysis tools such as MadAnalysis5. ! fifo@ : ! Same as 'fifo', but selecting a custom path to create the ! fifo pipe. (useful to select a mounted drive that supports ! fifo). Note that the fifo file extension *must* be '.hepmc.fifo'. ! ------------------------------------------------------------------- ! HEPMCoutput:file = auto ! ! -------------------------------------------------------------------- ! Parameters relevant only when performing MLM merging, which can be ! turned on by setting ickkw to '1' in the run_card and chosing a ! positive value for the parameter xqcut. ! For details, see section 'Jet Matching' on the left-hand menu of ! http://home.thep.lu.se/~torbjorn/pythia81html/Welcome.html ! -------------------------------------------------------------------- ! If equal to -1.0, MadGraph5_aMC@NLO will set it automatically based ! on the parameter 'xqcut' of the run_card.dat JetMatching:qCut = -1.0 ! Use default kt-MLM to match parton level jets to those produced by the ! shower. But the other Shower-kt scheme is available too with this option. JetMatching:doShowerKt = off ! A value of -1 means that it is automatically guessed by MadGraph. ! It is however always safer to explicitly set it. JetMatching:nJetMax = -1 ! ! -------------------------------------------------------------------- ! Parameters relevant only when performing CKKW-L merging, which can ! be turned on by setting the parameter 'ptlund' *or* 'ktdurham' to ! a positive value. ! For details, see section 'CKKW-L Merging' on the left-hand menu of ! http://home.thep.lu.se/~torbjorn/pythia81html/Welcome.html ! -------------------------------------------------------------------- ! Central merging scale values you want to be used. ! If equal to -1.0, then MadGraph5_aMC@NLO will set this automatically ! based on the parameter 'ktdurham' of the run_card.dat Merging:TMS = -1.0 ! This must be set manually, according to Pythia8 directives. ! An example of possible value is 'pp>LEPTONS,NEUTRINOS' ! Alternatively, from Pythia v8.223 onwards, the value 'guess' can be ! used to instruct Pythia to guess the hard process. The guess would mean ! that all particles apart from light partons will be considered as a part ! of the hard process. This guess is prone to errors if the desired hard ! process is complicated (i.e. contains light partons). The user should ! then be wary of suspicious error messages in the Pythia log file. Merging:Process = ! A value of -1 means that it is automatically guessed by MadGraph. ! It is however always safer to explicitly set it. Merging:nJetMax = -1 ! ! For all merging schemes, decide whehter you want the merging scale ! variation computed for only the central weights or all other ! PDF and scale variation weights as well SysCalc:fullCutVariation = off ! ! ========================== ! User customized parameters ! ========================== ! ! By default, Pythia8 generates multi-parton interaction events. This is ! often irrelevant for phenomenology and very slow. You can turn this ! feature off by uncommenting the line below if so desired. !partonlevel:mpi = off
