Peak in leading jet pT distribution for ggF H+jets with FxFx merging
Dear experts,
I want to generate ggF H+2jets at NLO with FxFx merging. After event generation I see a strange peak in the pT distribution of the leading jet around 50 GeV. The pT of the subleading jet looks fine.
Here are the settings for the run card:
ptj = 10
maxjetflavor = 5
extras = {'lhe_version' :'3.0',
'ickkw' :'3',
'ptj' :str(ptj),
'pdlabel' : "'lhapdf'",
'lhaid' : '90900',
and for showering in pythia:
qCut = 50
genSeq.

We also checked with ptj=25 GeV, as ptj should be at least half of the merging scale, but this had no effect on the peak.
Do you have any idea why we see this peak? Could it be related to the merging scale choice of 50 GeV?
Thanks for you help,
Alena
