Segmentation fault in p p > j j w+ at fixed order

Asked by Julien Touchèque

Dear Madgraph experts,

We are studying the following process p p > j j w+ [QCD] using the loop_sm model and the zero_mass_ckm restriction file on MG5_v3_4_0. After launching madevent, a segmentation fault seems to arise from the interface between aMC@NLO and Fixed order such that all jobs crash.

./ajob1 : line 38 : 1355624 Segmentation fault ../madevent_mintFO > log.txt < input_app.txt 2>&1

The error looks a bit similar to the question #675872 but I do not use an external version of FastJet and the jets have non-zero minimum pT.

What is the issue here ? Thank you in advance.

Best,

Julien

Hi,

I'm trying to reproduce the issue.

But before those run finishes, one curiosity, why did you set ickkw=3 here?
Not sure that it does make sense for fixed order computation and if this might not be related to your issue.

Cheers,

Olivier

I do not reproduce this error on my mac. Did you face it on our cluster?

This being said, running at fixed_order for a process with various multiplicity is something that does not make that much sense.
Since you do have double counting that can not be removed (at least not in a simple way)

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

I tried with the other values for ickkw but the issue remains. There were no particular reasons for ickkw=3, I just attempted different things and I forgot to set it back to 0 before uploading the card.

I used the 3 possible modes of running and the issue appeared in all of them.

The reason why I added jw+ is because the collinear tests were failing and did not allow the fixed order analysis of jjw+.

Cheers,

Julien

Hi,

So is this on your laptop or on the cluster?

> I tried with the other values for ickkw but the issue remains. There were no particular reasons for ickkw=3, I just attempted different things and I forgot to set it back to 0 before uploading the card.

But what is the physical meaning of Fixed-order computation with ickkw=0. Or rather, or do you plan to use such run to have a meaningful physical result?

The default is set to "3" since this allows to have FxFx type of computation by default for NLO+PS such that when running pythia8, pythia8 will remove the double counting as needed. Obviously, in fixed-order, you can not rely on the parton-shower for removing the double counting.

> The reason why I added jw+ is because the collinear tests were failing and did not allow the fixed order analysis of jjw+.

Again, here, I do not understand the physics/logic of this decision.
First, do you understand why the test is failing here?
Second, do you understand why adding a process is helping?

On the second question, here I do not have any clue, the second process should have no impact on the first (at least at fixed order and with ickkw=0). So I'm afraid that either it pass due to weaker test but not because you have really fix an issue. On the contrary you are adding issue by adding double counting.

I'm asking that much detail, also because it does not make that much sense to invest too much time to track a crash in a scenario which is not physically motivated. (in particular since I do not reproduce such issue on my laptop)

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for your answer.

The output and log files were from a run on my laptop.

I thought the issue with the collinear tests arose from ill-defined jets and virtual corrections from p p > j w+ were needed. Thank you for pointing out the issue with the double counting, I will try to solve the issue of the collinear tests without adding another process.

Cheers,

Julien
