Save diagrams from MadSpin

Asked by Marc de Beurs

Dear experts,

During the execution of MadSpin folders like "full_me", "production_me" and "decay_me" are created which contain, among other things, the diagrams of all the processes. After execution these folders are automatically deleted.

My question is if there is a way to overcome this, so that the diagrams are saved? I can save them manually during the execution, but maybe some setting of flag exists.

The reason why I want to keep the diagrams is to verify if my EFT couplings enter in the correct manner, even during the MadSpin step.

Thanks in advance!
Cheers Marc

Hi,

They are one solution:
you can add the line
“””set ms_dir PATH“””

To have the normal behaviour of madspin , you just have to ensure that PATH does NOT already exists.
The created directory will then be created inside that PATH.

Cheers,

Olivier
