MG5 and Pythia8

Asked by Sebastian Urrutia-Quiroga

Hi all,
I'm having some issues with Madgraph and Pythia. Concretely, I got the following message:

INFO: Running Pythia8 [arXiv:1410.3012]
No user-defined value for Pythia8 parameter 'JetMatching:nJetMax'. Setting it automatically to 1.
Follow Pythia8 shower by running the following command (in a separate terminal):
    tail -f /home/surrutia/madgraph/signal_e-e-2j/Events/run_01/tag_1_pythia8.log
Command "generate_events run_01" interrupted with error:
InvalidCmd : Pythia8 shower interrupted with return code 139.
        You can find more information in this log file:
        /home/surrutia/madgraph/signal_e-e-2j/Events/run_01/tag_1_pythia8.log

In the mentioned log file, I found the following message:

/home/surrutia/madgraph/signal_e-e-2j/Events/run_01/run_shower.sh: line 2: 29494 Segmentation fault (core dumped) LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/surrutia/madgraph/HEPTools/MG5aMC_PY8_interface/MG5aMC_PY8_interface tag_1_pythia8.cmd

I'm not sure if the problem lies on Madgraph, Pythia, or the interface between them, so any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks,
Sebastian

Should be on the Pythia side.

Cheers,

Hi,
Thank you so much, I'll contact Pythia developers.

It's weird because I tried with another process in the SM,
   generate p p > t t~ j
   add process p p > t t~ j j

and it works, so I'm really confused.

Best,
Sebastian

This is a segfault in PY8, so it might be process dependent.

Cheers,

Olivier
