where could I find the slha file for validation?

Asked by von

Hello,I am a new user to madgraph and I want to redo the analysis ATLAS-SUSY-2013-05 in http://madanalysis.irmp.ucl.ac.be/wiki/PhysicsAnalysisDatabase
with validation note
http://madanalysis.irmp.ucl.ac.be/attachment/wiki/PhysicsAnalysisDatabase/ma5_validation_ATLAS-SUSY-2013-11.pdf
and I can not find the slha files provided by the ATLAS collaboration he refered to in the note,could someone tell where can I find the files?
Thanks a lot
And how could I generated reconstructed level events?I thought the events generated by pythia named *_pythia_events.lhe.gz contain reconstructed level events.But when I use expert mode of madanalysis
ma5 -E -R
replace the files given in http://madanalysis.irmp.ucl.ac.be/wiki/PhysicsAnalysisDatabase
,namely,the cpp and h file,and then,I changed the cpp file a little bit,adding the following sentenses to examine whether the events are rec or hadron

using namespace std;
void logfile(string str);
void numfile(int x);

void logfile(string str)
{
        ofstream SaveFile("logg.log", ios::in|ios::ate);
        SaveFile << str <<"\n"<<endl;
        SaveFile.close();
}

void numfile(int x)
{
        ofstream SaveFile("num.log", ios::in|ios::ate);
        SaveFile << x <<"\n"<<endl;
        SaveFile.close();
}
and also
   if(event.rec()==0)
 {
  numfile(0);
 }
 if(event.rec()!=0)
 {
  numfile(1);
 }

 if(event.mc()==0)
 {
  numfile(2);
 }
 if(event.mc()!=0)
 {
  numfile(3);
 }
and I just found num.log full of 0 and 3,which means the events contains no rec events and all events are mc level,what could possibly be wrong?I have modified the run_card.dat and param_card.dat

Looks like a question for the madanalysis group. I therefore change the related project to that one. Cheers, Olivier

Hi,

Concerning the SLHA files, you should have a look on the ATLAS Twiki/Hepdata pages. There are all there and public.

Next, you cannot use the lhe files provided by madgraph. You should take the ATLAS spectra, run MadGraph and Pythia on them (with the right physics process), run delphes-MA5tune on the stdhep output and only then apply the analysis on the outputted root file.

Cheers,

Benjamin

Thanks Benjamin Fuks, that solved my question.
