MadAnalysis 5

how to do an analysis using a root file

Asked by shibasipu

Dear MA5 authors,
                                      I am a beginner to MA5 platform. After successfully installing MA5, then I am going through the following link(https://madanalysis.irmp.ucl.ac.be/wiki/UsingMa5Pad). After the "source setup.sh" command, I am proceeding the following way to analyse the root file.

1. I am keeping the root file in the directory(/home/shiba/research/madanalysis5_v1.2_patch4/MHT/Input/SHIBA)(I have created a directory "SHIBA" in the "Input" directory)
2. Then I am running the command( ./MadAnalysis5job ../Input/SHIBA). I am getting the following message.
* SampleAnalyzer for MadAnalysis 5 - Welcome.
    * Initializing all components
      - version: v1.2_patch4 (2015/10/28)
      - general: everything is default.
      - extracting the list of event samples...
ERROR: The file list '../Input/SHIBA' is empty.

Could you please tell me where am I doing the mistake ???

Regards,
Shiba

Hi Shiba,

The argument of the MadAnalysis5Job execute command should be the path to a text file. This text file should included the exact location (the absolute path) of the event file to analyse. Then it should work.
