using shower calculate next leading order
Hi
I am a beginner. I am learning MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. I have a question about parton showering: For example, I want to calculate the cross section of p p > e ve~ c [NLO] , and investigate the effect of parton shower in this process at NLO . So first, I generate this process in this way:
define p= p /c c~
define j=p
generate p p > e ve~ c [NLO]
...
Then after launch, I launch the process again but this time by choosing pythia=ON (I think that it means calculate cross section with considering the parton shower). I get the cross section , meanwhile i get the lhe file for this calculation .
It should be noted that I put
PYTHIA6Q=shower
p Tj > 25 GeV,
|η|j < 2.5
p Tl > 20 GeV,
|η | l< 2.5,
p ν T > 25 GeV,
m WT > 40 GeV
the last two parameter , i cant put the run_card.dat file ,so i put those parameter on cuts.f fortran file. in this calculation i get the correct total coress section .but this differential cross section is not correct , compare to the result of paper ,difference is more large? how can i get the correct differential cross section value same like paper result ? extra question about the using parton shower, for using parton shower , it is eneough modify the run_card.dat file or is there some parameter we should modify? in the madgraph , when install pythia8 , why there appear so many error massage on pythia8_
thanks
Best.
