Problem in showering with e p collider

Asked by Sanjoy Mandal

Hi,

I am using a model SM_HeavyN_NLO from feynrules model data base. I am trying to shower the process
e- p > j n1, (n1 > l- j j) using pythia8 switch on. I generated 10,000 no of events, but pythi8 is only generating around 4,000 events after showering. I also tried external pythia8230 package with unweighted_events.lhe for showering. But there also I am not getting all the shower events. I am also attaching the last few lines of tag_1_pythia8.log,

Hi,

Please contact py8 author about this.
Do not hesitate to indicate to us their answer since it can be usefull for us to learn if this is a wrong configuration on how PY8 is called. (In which case we would be interested by modifying such configuration automatically)

Cheers,

Olivier
