Plotting LHE file from Madgraph without Pythia, Delphes, and Madanalysis.

Asked by Eric Gyabeng Fuakye

Hi everyone,

Please I recently started using MADGRAPH.

After generating some events in Madgraph without Pythia, Delphes or Madanalysis, I obtain a zip file of lets say

 unweighted_events.lhe.gz. My task now is to make a plot out of this events.lhe.gz file.

Please, how do I go about this?

Thanks

Hi,

MadAnalysis (4 or 5) are the tools dedicated to making plot.
MadAnalysis5 is more complicated to install than MA4 but it is much more powerfull and flexible (and much more documented)

Now since this output format is human readable, you do not need any dedicated tool and
can do the plot with any method you like.

I personally like to make my plot with matplotlib and the lhe_parser.py file that I have include inside MG5aMC.
If you prefer root, you can convert the lhe file to root (again many tools here: For example ExRootAnalysis)
and then do your computation inside root.

Cheers,

Olivier

Good!

Thanks, I found out the conversion of root to lhe is much easier to me.

Cheers
