Unable to install lhapdf6 for use of pythia8

Asked by Andrew Fee on 2023-02-13

Hello, I am trying to install lhapdf6 in order to then be able to install pythia8. I have tried to do this directly through MadGraph, but continually run into the same error:

MG5_aMC>install pythia8

How can I get around this issue? I am on a Mac with an M1 Pro chip, I have Python3, and have tried externally downloading the LHAPDF-6.5.3 set but cannot get Madgraph to find the download.

Hi,

So far I have not succeed to have a working version of LHADPF compiled with arm (so for M1).
On my M1 machine, I have kept a pure intel installation but this has issue as well (like numpy not working, so no re-weighting/...).

So I do not have a good solution for such computer for the moment.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hello Olivier,

That explains a lot, thank you for the clarification. As a followup, could you briefly explain how Pythia8 will be affected if I download it without LHAPDF? Would you suggest that I do this, or instead go with an Intel installation?

Thanks,
Andrew

All initial state radiation will then be simulated with a different pdf set which will impact the radiation pattern.
Since such radiation pattern depends obviously on the ratio of the pdf, the dependence should be mild.
Now this can lead to breaking NLO accuracy for NLO computation.
I do not know if this has impact for the tuning of the hadronization model.

Cheers,

Olivier
