Hi,

I do not know what your pbs format is.
But the easiest is probably to use lhapdf interface to link to your PDF.
Otherwise, you need to find a way to convert your pbs format in a format that MG can read (either convert your file and/or code the interface inside madgraph)

Cheers,

Olivier

The madgrah interface is the following:
1) in ./input/mg5_configuration.txt you have to specify the path to the lhapdf-config executable (not needed if that script is in your $PATH)
2) in the run_card set the parameter pdlabel to lhapdf and the lhaid parameter to the number that you want.

Cheers,

Olivier
