Error at showering: events.lhe.hep not created

Asked by Nicolas Deutschmann

Dear aMC@NLO team

I'm having troubles generating events with aMC@NLO and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

The process I am generating is p p > t t~ [QCD] at NLO with showering and the program stops when trying to shower the events with the following error message.

INFO: The /data/ndeutsch/Madgraph/MG5_aMC_v2_1_1/TEST/Events/run_02/events.lhe.gz file has been generated.

Is there something I am missing ? Maybe a dependency I forgot ?

Hello Nicolas,
thanks for your feedback.

Let me ask you some questions in order to exclude possible sources of the problem.
I assume you have a file events.lhe.gz, or events.lhe in TEST/Events/run_02. Do you confirm?
Do you get the same error if you run ./bin/shower run_02 from the TEST/ directory?

Could you attach the files TEST/Cards/shower_card.dat, TEST/MCatNLO/shower_card.dat,
TEST/MCatNLO/banner.dat?

Thanks.
Cheers.
Paolo

Hello Paolo,

Thank your for your prompt answer.

The file events.lhe does indeed exists and I get the same error by using /bin/shower indeed.

I will put the contents of the file in separate messages for better readability.

Cheers
Nicolas.

Hi Nicolas,

I run with your MG5_aMC@NLO code version and with your
cards, and everything went smoothly for me. I also got
the same banner.dat and shower_card.dat in the MCatNLO
folder, so I think the problem is instead related to
the compilation of StdHEP.
There are various things you can try, in order to nail
the problem down.

1) When you run command 'output' for the first time,
the code compiles CutTools as well as StdHEP. It would
be useful to know if there was some warning or problem
issued on the terminal in that phase.

2) I would suggest you to check whether your directory
TEST/MCatNLO/lib contains the libraries "libFmcfio.a"
and "libstdhep.a" that are necessary during the run
while using StdHEP (as is specified by default in
Cards/shower_card.dat).
If this is *not* the case, then it means (I think) that
the StdHEP had a problem, and we could maybe understand
it by your answer to point 1). If instead this is the
case, I would suggest to unzip the event file in run_02,
to go in MCatNLO, and to run by hand the command
"./MCatNLO_MadFKS.inputs", and see what it tells you.

Keep me posted.
Cheers.
Paolo

Hi again Nicolas,

another equivalent test you could do is to shower
requiring a top-drawer analysis, like for example
using the following variables at the end of your
shower_card.dat.

################################################################################
EXTRALIBS = # Needed extra-libraries (not LHAPDF).
                                    # Default: "stdhep Fmcfio"
EXTRAPATHS = # Path to the extra-libraries.
                                    # Default: "../lib"
INCLUDEPATHS= # Path to the dirs containing header files neede by C++.
                                    # Directory names are separated by white spaces
ANALYSE = mcatnlo_pyan_rates.o mcatnlo_hbook_gfortran8.o
                                    # User's analysis and histogramming routines
                                    # (please use .o as extension and use spaces to separate files)

If it goes through, then we are sure it is a StdHEP
problem (or something else that caused the StdHEP
libraries not to be in MCatNLO/lib, like an accidental
removal in that folder).

Cheers.
Paolo

Hi Paolo,

So here is the status now:

- At compilation when first outputting, there is no error from either CutTools or StdHEP.

- The library files are indeed there in TEST/MCatNLO

- When requiring a top-drawer analysis, there is no problem

- Running MCatNLO_MadFKS.inputs calls an error because bc is not installed on my system. I contacted my sysadmin to request its installation and I will come back to you to tell you what this changes.

Thank you very much for your help.

Cheers,
Nicolas

Hi Paolo,

I got bc installed and now everything seems to work, it was as simple as that. Thank you very much for your help in understanding what was wrong !

Cheers,
Nicolas
