Trying untested ttH+2Jets process in aMC@NLO

Asked by Marco A. Harrendorf

Hello Generator-Experts,

at the moment we are working on FxFx-Merging for the ttH process.
For that reason I was also trying to generate the untested p p > t t~ h j j [QCD] process.

After I increased the RAM up to 32 Gb, I can create the working folder by using the command "output".
Just for your information, if you are interested:
During the "output" command the RAM demand goes up to 22 Gb. Finally when aMC@NLO "Generate Webpages" the RAM demand goes up to 30 Gb. I already switched off the JPEG generation.
So maybe in a future release it would be also nice, if one can switch off the webpage generation also.

When I try to launch the generated ttH+2Jets process I get the following output, before aMC@NLO crashes:

I already checked, that the "SubProcesses/P0_gg_httxgg/check_poles.log" log file is really missing.

Do you have any idea, what I could try to get the ttH+2Jet process running or is it hopeless?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Marco

Dear Marco,

Is the SubProcesses/P0_gg_httxgg/check_poles executable there?

If so, can you run ./check_poles and follow the instructions written on the screen. Give it 20 PS points to test with the default precision.

If not, can you try to compile it? Run
export madloop=true
make check_poles
(If it complains about fastjet not being there, you have to set --in the beginning of the makefile:
fastjet_config=<PATH_TO_FASTJET>/bin/fastjet-config
and then run it?

Let me know if this gives any useful information.

Best regards,
Rikkert

It looks like you are not compiling with the same compiler as you have used for the rest of the code. Please use the same.

Hello Rikkert,

I made some checks and tests:

* I used the same compiler as before and my settings work for more basic
processes like ttH.
* The check_poles executable is build for none of the subprocesses.
* There is also no makefile in the subprocesses folders.
* Creating the process new from scratch does not solve my problems.

* I copied the makefile from the basic ttH process to the ttH+2Jets
subprocess folders and now I can build the check_poles executable.

Is there any reason, why the makefiles are not written in the subprocess
folders?
Can this behaviour caused by switching off the JPEG generation?

Best regards,

Marco

Hi Marco,

I have no idea what's going on. I cannot reproduce the non-creation of the makefiles. It does not depend on the JPEG generation.

However, given that the process is not created correctly (missing makefiles), I cannot guarantee that the rest of the process is correct.

Best,
Rikkert

Can you help with this problem?
