maddump

'MADDUMPRunCmd' object has no attribute 'proc_characteristics'

Asked by Douglas Tuckler

Hello,

I am having an issue with Maddump when generating a displaced decay. I’m considering a simplified spin 1 mediator model and I run the following:

generate production p p > y1
add process displace_decay y1
output

Then I set the various parameters similar to the scalar GeV mediator example in appendix D.2 of https://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.06771.pdf

After I set the parameters and try to run I get the following error:

AttributeError : 'MADDUMPRunCmd' object has no attribute 'proc_characteristics'
Please report this bug to developers

Please let me know how to fix this issue.
Thanks!

Hi Douglas,

by a very quick inspection of your parameter card, it seems to me that you are using a model file
(something like HNL) which does not match your requested process (particle y1 is not present
in the model file). Can you check this?

I will have more time to dig into your issue during the weekend, so I will come to you later.

Cheers,
Luca

Hi Luca,

Sorry about that. I attached the wrong debug file. The correct one is below.

Best,
Douglas

Ciao Douglas,

the syntax for the displaced decay is not correct; the specification of the decay process is
missing.
For example, assuming a decay into a visible mu+ mu- pair, you have, after importing the model:

generate production p p > y1
decay y1 > mu+ mu-
add process displaced_decay y1
output NAME_PROCESS
...

I remind you that for the displaced_decay there is not a dedicated parameter cards.
The parameters are set directly in the python file PLUGIN/maddump/new_interface/displaced_decay.py
where a toy decay vessel is specified providing, in the travel_distance function,
the parameters d:=distance from the interaction point, delta:=length of the decay vessel, both in direction of the original
beam axis (let's say the usual z direction).

I hope this will solve your issue.

Cheers,
Luca

Hi Luca,

Thanks for the reply! This solved that particular issue. But now I’m getting other errors. I will open a new question.

Best,
Douglas
