HI,

I would first put some cut on your lepton to see if it solve the problem (at least you can expect a sensitive result in that case)
Then if you still have such type of problem,
one has to look in the log file of the running directory:

in this case:
/home/users/rs/shibananda/RESEARCH/MG5_aMC_v2_3_3/pp24l2b_withoutCUTS/SubProcesses/P1_qq_llllbbx/G1/

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,
                     I have applied a minimum pt cut on lepton = 10 GeV and maximum rap for leptons = 2.5 . But it is not working.

Then, I went to /home/users/rs/shibananda/RESEARCH/MG5_aMC_v2_3_3/pp24l2b_withoutCUTS/SubProcesses/P1_qq_llllbbx/G1/

In the .log file, it is mentioned

 Process in group number 1
 A PDF is used, so alpha_s(MZ) is going to be modified
 Old value of alpha_s from param_card: 0.11799999999999999
  ****************************************

       NNPDFDriver version 1.0.3
   Grid: NNPDF23_lo_as_0130_qed_mem0.grid
  ****************************************
 New value of alpha_s from PDF nn23lo1: 0.13000000000000000
 Grouping of subprocesses not consistent with setcuts.f. Either change your cuts and/or turn grouping of subprocesses off.
STOP 1

ls status:
input_app.txt
log.txt
results.dat
run1_app.log

Then where to change turn grouping of subprocesses off ?

Regards,
Shiba

Hi,

Actually this is a bug of 2.3.3 which is solved by 2.4.0 (which is officially released since 2h ago).
Those cut are perfectly fine for keeping the grouping.

Otherwise you can set the grouping to False by doing

set group_subprocesses False
before the “generate” command

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,
                     Thanks. Suppose for some reason, I do not want to apply any cut at the parton level. Then If I do "set group_subprocesses False " before the “generate” command" , will it work ? Just for curiosity, what is the purpose of "set group_subprocesses False"' ?

Regards,
Shiba

Hi,

> I do not want to apply any cut at the parton level.

You can do that only if your matrix-element is well-behaved (i.e do not have any non-integrable singularity [integrable singularity will also create some numerical problem]) which is clearly not the case of your process which has some photon singularity.

It turns off some of the optimisation introduced in MG5 version1.0.0.
The idea is to perform only one phase-space integration for different matrix element final state.
This is sometimes problematic for lepton final state if you apply some cut related to the flavor of the lepton.
For more details please read the MadGraph5: Going Beyond paper.

Cheers,

Olivier
