Delphes_Card vanishes

Asked by Felix Kling

Hi,

I updates my Madgraph to version 2.1.0 a few days ago. Now I want to simulate a process using delphes at the end. I genenrated the process and put a file delphes_card.dat in the ./Cards directory. If i use

./bin/generate_events

and type in

delphes=ON

it works perfectly. But by default it would always assume delphes=OFF. In an older version of MG5 it automatically used delphes, if it finds a delphes_card. Can I change the setting so that this works again?

My main problem is: if I use

./bin/generate_events -f

it not only does not use Delphes but also deletes the delphes_card. This is a problem because I want to use

./bin/madevent multi_run

Even if i specify in ./bin/madevent multi_run that I want to use Delphes (using delphes=ON) , it still deletes the delphes_card.

Can you help me with that problem?

Thank you!

Felix
