How to plot a cross section-mass diagram in MG5

Asked by Shyuan Guo

Dear MadGraph authors:
     I am a beginner in MG5.
     And here is my problem. suppose processes like p p > w+ w- with different masses of W boson, i knew how to use the scan command( set MW scan:[*********]). What i want is to plot the cross sections vary with the W masses, how can i achieve that?
     Thank you very much!

Hi,

You have a summary file written at the end of the run with a simple multi-column format.
You can then use any program to make the plot that you want (matplotlib, gnuplot, matlab, mathematica, root, …)

Cheers,

Olivier
