scale for reweighting pdfs

Hi,

If you want to have that information written in the event file,
you need to activate the information for the re-weighitng:
store_rwgt_info

In that case, you will have a LOT more information since the scale that you ask for is not unique at NLO. So you will have have the list of events and couter-events used for gernerating that events and all the information at which value of x --and the scale-- the pdf is used.

If you need to understand the format of that (very complex) information,
I would advise to read the file lhe_parser.py where this is parsing is already done with plenty of comment.

Note that if you want to perform any PDF rescaling/... you can use the code systematics.py
whcih use the information from store_rwgt_info to allow the computation of a lot of systematics.

Cheers,

Olivier

Dear aMCatNLO experts

I would like to read from the lhe file the scale at which the pdf was evaluated.
I assume, it is not the variable SCALEUP, since for Z inclusive at NLO I get an event which looks like:

where SCALEUP=0.14635717E+02, while I would naively assume the scale is the Z-boson mass.
Can I extract the scale from the line #aMCatNLO ?

Thanks a lot
