.hepmc file does not contain a number of events written in index

Hi,

I do not know which index you are refering to.
But in matching/merging (of MLM and CKKW-L type) you expect that ~ 50% of the events are discarded.
So this sounds quite reasonable here.

If you were using use_syst=T, then you would have kept most of those events (this is typically 5% of the events that are discarded) but then 50% of the events have a weight of 0 in the sample.

Cheers,

Olivier

Dear Olivier,

Sorry for unclear explanation. In run_card.dat I set the number of events to 400000. In index.html page there is written that after merging only 238000 events remained. However, this does not match the number of events in .hepmc file.

Then you should read the pythia8 log to understand what's going on.
If this is a disk space it should be written

I do not see any "run_shower.sh" script within our release. So I can not comment on such script.
The official method to re-run such part is to do
./bin/madevent
then type
pythia8 RUN_NAME_TO_SHOWER

where you need to replace RUN_NAME_TO_SHOWER by the appropriate directory name in
Events.

Cheers,

Olivier
