generate events with a modified HC model

Asked by Yue Xu

Hello,

I want to generate some events with a modified HC model. This the process is(where x0 is a heavy higgs):
import model HC_UFO
generate p p > z x0, z > l- l+, x0 > j j j j
output ./TEDWORK/HC_lljjjj

The model is at:
https://github.com/xuyue1231/MG5-heavy-Higgs/tree/master/HC_UFO

The process and run_01_tag_1_debug.log is at:
https://github.com/xuyue1231/MG5-heavy-Higgs/tree/master/HC_lljjjj

When I generate events with "./bin/madevent", I get some errors:
Error when reading /home/storage/Users/xuyue/HeavyHiggs/plot_heavy/MG5_aMC_v2_6_6/TEDWORK/HC_lljjjj/SubProcesses/P1_qq_zx0_z_ll_x0_ggqq/G6/results.dat

Hi,

I will take a look. But in order to hope for such process to works, don't you need to have cut on the jets?

Cheers,

Olivier

Revision history for this message
Olivier Mattelaer (olivier-mattelaer) said :
#2

One work-around for this issue
is
1) allow the cut on the jets:
(set cut_decays True)
2) change the default dynamical to not CKKW mode
(set dynamical_scale_choice 3) #or any other value

Cheers,

Olivier

Will this cut change the pt distribution of final state? Or change something else ?

And this process can be generated in older MG5 version, such 2.5.5, without settings of cut_decays and dynamical_scale_choice.
But in the new version 2.6.6, I got the above error.

Hi,

1) setting "cut_decays" on True.
will allow cut like ptj, drjj, ... of the run_card to be applied on the jet comming from x0.

Yes this will change your distribution (if those cut are present, if you do not have any cut within the run_card then it will not change anything).
Now my understanding of your process (but I can be wrong) is that your cross-section should be infinite without any cut preventing two jet to be colinear or one jet to be soft. So those cuts are crucial to have physical results (but if for some reason, that I missed, you do not have such divergencies for this process/model)

2) Changing the dynamical scale choice will change the running of alpha_s.
(more precisely to which scale alpha_s is evaluated for each event)
So it will change the shape of the distribution but ONLY within scale uncertainties.
So it should not change anything to your analysis if you propagate not only the central value but also the theoretical uncertainties.

Cheers,

Olivier

HI,

For cut_decays, I still keep my opinion.
I do not see why you do not have soft/collinear singularities in this case.
Now if it works fine in 2.5.5 it might have a reason why you do not have such singularities.
In that case you do not need to set it to True in 2.6.x.
I just hope that you understand why you do not face such singularities.

For the dynamical_scale_choice, this indeed sounds as a new behavior and as I said I will investigate what to do to fix it. By experience this CKKW merging is quite complex in presence of non QCD interaction so it will take a while to fix. This is why I suggest this workaround.
Note that I can not guarantee that the version 2.5.5 works correctly for the default dynamical scale (up to the fact that this is within theoretical uncertainty by definition). Especially since that part of the code faces a lot of bug/fix since 2017.
So for your process, I would recommend to use the dynamical_scale_choice different of -1 even with 2.5.5.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

When I change the default dynamical_scale_choice to 3, it works well !
But I have another question about the generation time. I have 4 processes, A, B, C and D.
Process A:
import model HC_UFO
define p = g u c d s b u~ c~ d~ s~ b~
define j = g u c d s b u~ c~ d~ s~ b~
define l+ = e+ mu+ ta+
define l- = e- mu- ta-
generate p p > z x0, z > j j, x0 > l- l+ j j

Process B:
import model HC_UFO
define p = g u c d s b u~ c~ d~ s~ b~
define j = g u c d s b u~ c~ d~ s~ b~
define l+ = e+ mu+ ta+
define l- = e- mu- ta-
generate p p > z x0, z > l- l+, x0 > j j j j
add process p p > z x0, z > l- l+, x0 > l- vl~ j j
add process p p > z x0, z > l- l+, x0 > l+ vl j j

Process C:
import model HC_UFO
define p = g u c d s b u~ c~ d~ s~ b~
define j = g u c d s b u~ c~ d~ s~ b~
define l+ = e+ mu+ ta+
define l- = e- mu- ta-
generate p p > w+ x0, w+ > j j, x0 > l- l+ j j
add process p p > w+ x0, w+ > l+ vl, x0 > l- l+ j j
add process p p > w+ x0 > w+ w+ w-, w+ > l+ vl, w- > j j

Process D:
import model HC_UFO
define p = g u c d s b u~ c~ d~ s~ b~
define j = g u c d s b u~ c~ d~ s~ b~
define l+ = e+ mu+ ta+
define l- = e- mu- ta-
generate p p > w- x0, w- > j j, x0 > l- l+ j j
add process p p > w- x0, w- > l- vl~, x0 > l- l+ j j
add process p p > w- x0 > w- w- w+, w- > l- vl~, w+ > j j

I run the 4 processes in cern lxplus with 8 cores with same setting of parameters and event number.

Process A has 3135 diagrams. Process B has 2662 diagrams. Process C and process D both have 5832 diagrams.

In principle, the generation time is proportional to the number of diagrams.
But process A takes more than 10 hours, while process B takes about 10 minutes and process C/D takes about 40 minutes.
It's strange that process A takes such a long time.

Why does process A take such a long time?

Cheers,
Yue

Hi,

The timing is indeed linked to the speed of the matrix-element.
But this is not the only factor, a quite determinant factor is the number of times that we need to
evaluate the matrix-element in order to reach the requested accuracy.
This is linked to the variance of the function that you integrating (after the change of variable done analytically and numerically --via machine learning-- in order to reduce such variance)

Cheers,

Olivier

In top of that lxplus is an heterogeous cluster and therefore you can have huge variation of speed depending of the cpu generation that you are using.

Hi Olivier,

I don't understand why the number of time that we need to evaluate the matrix-element in order to reach the requested accuracy in case A is much larger.

I have tried several times. Each time, case A takes a much longer time. I also tested the timing in a standalone MadGraph, and also case A takes a much longer time.

Cheers,
Yue

Hi,

You can read the slides of my lecture on this topic:
https://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/projects/madgraph/raw-attachment/wiki/Madrid2015_2%20MC/15_09_07_Madrid_MC.pdf

from page ~60 to ~120

Cheers,

Olivier
