Zero events at hadron level MadAnalysis

Asked by Seyda Ipek

Hi,
I am using MadGraph v2_5_4 with MadAnalysis 5. I generate a simple SM p p > t t~ process and run Pythia, Delphes and MadAnalysis. I get the cross section: 505 pb. However, when I open the hadron level Madanalysis report, it shows zero signal events, before and after any cuts. (I use the default cuts.) The problem I think is with the basicreco.lhe file, but I am not quite sure since I don't know what basicreco does exactly. I know other people have the same problem too. Help would be great!

cheers,
seyda

Hi,

Can you please share a small hadron-level event file and copy the ma5 script you have used?

Regards,

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,
I am using MadAnalysis inside MadGraph, so I didn't really write any ma5
script. Just turned on Madanalysis when generating MadGraph events. I am
attaching the pythia lhe file. I think the following is what ma5 runs as it
shows up as "command history" when I look at the index.html from madgraph.

-------------
ma5>set main.mode = parton
ma5>import
/Users/sipek/Desktop/MG5_aMC_v2_5_4/test06/Events/run_01/tag_1_pythia_BasicReco.lhe.gz
as tag_1_pythia_BasicReco
ma5>set main.stacking_method = normalize2one
ma5>define e = e+ e-
ma5>define mu = mu+ mu-
ma5>select (j) PT > 20
ma5>select (b) PT > 20
ma5>select (e) PT > 10
ma5>select (mu) PT > 10
ma5>select (j) ABSETA < 2.5
ma5>select (b) ABSETA < 2.5
ma5>select (e) ABSETA < 2.5
ma5>select (mu) ABSETA < 2.5
ma5>plot MET 40 0 500

ma5>plot ETA(j[1]) 40 -10 10 [logY]
ma5>plot MT_MET(j[1]) 40 0 500 [logY]
ma5>plot PT(j[2]) 40 0 500 [logY]
ma5>plot ETA(j[2]) 40 -10 10 [logY]
ma5>plot MT_MET(j[2]) 40 0 500 [logY]
ma5>plot M(j[1] j[2]) 40 0 500 [logY]
ma5>plot DELTAR(j[1],j[2]) 40 0 10 [logY]
ma5>submit
/Users/sipek/Desktop/MG5_aMC_v2_5_4/test06/MA5_HADRON_ANALYSIS_analysis2_BasicReco
----------
Is this enough?
cheers,
seyda

PS: My original file too large, so I generated an event file for g g > t t~
with less events. It has the exact same problem.

Hi Seyda,

The cross section information is lost when reconstructing a pythia file within ma5. This is a well known issue that we haven't fixed yet for various reasons.

@Valentin: do you think that, in the meantime, madgraph could pass this information to MA5 as:
   set tag_1_pythia_BasicReco.xsection = …
where the dots are replaced with the actual cross section?

Cheers,

Benjamin
