MadGraph5_aMC@NLO

can't use reweighting in lxplus with Athena in some cases

Asked by Yue Xu

Dear MadGraph expert,

I'm using MadGraph reweighting technique with HC model.
The process A is:
generate p p > z x0, z > j j, x0 > l- l+ j j
add process p p > z x0, z > l- l+, x0 > j j j j
add process p p > w+ x0, w+ > j j, x0 > l- l+ j j
add process p p > w- x0, w- > j j, x0 > l- l+ j j

with the reweight card:
launch --rwgt_name=fw1500fww0
 set FRBLOCK 16 -0.787215
 set FRBLOCK 18 -0.787215
 set FRBLOCK 21 -0.393608
 set FRBLOCK 22 -0.393608
 set DECAY 5000000 auto

I run the MadGraph job option with Athena. Aftera long time of running the reweighting, I got the error "1;31mCommand "generate_events -f --multicore run_01 --nb_core=8" interrupted with error:"
The log file is in: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xuyue1231/MG5-heavy-Higgs/master/log.generate.failed

But if I just geenrate events with process B :
generate p p > z x0, z > l- l+, x0 > j j j j
add process p p > w+ x0, w+ > j j, x0 > l- l+ j j
add process p p > w- x0, w- > j j, x0 > l- l+ j j

The reweighting runs successfully. The log file is in : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xuyue1231/MG5-heavy-Higgs/master/log.generate.successful

Is it because that process A takes a long time to do the reweighting such that the reweighting break down ?

Best,
Yue

Hi,

I do not know,

18:27:40 Command "generate_events -f --multicore run_01 --nb_core=8" interrupted with error:
18:27:40 Exception :
18:27:40 Please report this bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo
18:27:40 More information is found in '/tmp/ding/reweight/PROC_HC_UFO_0/run_01_tag_1_debug.log'.

According to this, you will get the MG5 debug file at the above path. Without I have no way to know the reason of this.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

I tested this process with standalone MadGraph version 2.6.6. It said " Exception : two different matrix-element have the same initial/final state. Leading to an ambiguity. If your events are ALWAYS written in the correct-order (look at the numbering in the Feynman Diagram). Then you can add inside your reweight_card the line 'change keep_ordering True’. "
When I add "change keep_ordering True" in the reweight_card, the reweighting can run successfully.
But it seems the command "change keep_ordering True" only available in MadGraph version nenwer than 2.6.5.

I don't know what is " two different matrix-element have the same initial/final state" mean.
Could you please explain it ?

Thanks,
Yue

HI,

The reason is simple you have two process with the exact same final state:
generate p p > z x0, z > j j, x0 > l- l+ j j
add process p p > z x0, z > l- l+, x0 > j j j j

Both have opposite sign charged lepton plus 4 jets.
Therefore when I read the lhef file and see an event with that final state, I do not know which matrix-element was used for the production (and which one to use for the new hyppothesis).

The "keep ordering" option assumes that your lhef particles are in the same order as the one used by MG for the production (which is not 100% guaranteed). You can use that option but please check first that it is consistent.

If you need to use older version than 2.6.5, the only option is to split your generation in two different runs (to avoid the ambiguity)

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for the explanation.

If I only have one process:
generate p p > z x0, z > j j, x0 > l- l+ j j

There are no two processes having the same final state. But I still got the error "Exception : two different matrix-element have the same initial/final state. Leading to an ambiguity. If your events are ALWAYS written in the correct-order (look at the numbering in the Feynman Diagram). Then you can add inside your reweight_card the line 'change keep_ordering True’.".

How does this happen?

Best,
Yue

Hi,

You are using multi-particles (p and j)
so your syntax is actually not one but many processes:
 p p > z x0, z > u u~, x0 > l- l+ d d~
 p p > z x0, z > d d~, x0 > l- l+ u u~
Those two have actually the same final state but they do not have the same matrix-element.
So indeed in this case you have an ambiguity.

This is the case for which the keep_ordering option was designed actually.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Now I understand the issue!
Thanks a lot!

Best,
Yue
