MadAnalysis 5

Path problem with the DelphesMA5 tune

Asked by Nicolas Deutschmann

Hi,

I tried running an analysis with MA5 v1.1.12 and I hit a problem at initialization: the .tcl card is not found because the path has an extra "../" ("../../Input/delphesMA5tune_card_ATLAS.tcl")

I don't know if I am not supposed to run the analysis from ANALYSIS_X/Build or if it is an error. When I deleted the extra "../" in main.cpp, the analysis ran fine.

Cheers,
Nicolas.

Hi Nicolas,

You are supposed to run the analysis fro the Build directory. Could you retry?

Cheers,

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

I retried on a fresh install with a new process, here is the exact sequence of what I do:

1. generate a working folder with delphesMA5tune (set it as fastsim.package, set atlas as detector, import file, submit)

2. go to Build, source setup.sh, make

3. ./Madanalysis5job inputfile

I get the error

ERROR: Configuration file '../../Input/delphesMA5tune_card_ATLAS.tcl' is not found
ERROR: problem during the initialization of the fast-simulation package called 'delphesMA5tune'

I tried running from SampleAnalyser, the analysis goes through but then there is nothing created in the Output folder.
A .root file is created in the SampleAnalyser folder with name TheMouth.root however. Is that the output of the delphes package ?

Cheers,
Nicolas.

Hi Nicolas,

In the case you are running delphes in the expert mode, the file will indeed be created at the location you executed the code. TheMouth.root is this file.

Cheers

Benjamin
