Question on showering and gridpack run
Hello,
I'd like to have a clarification about showering when using gridpack. I produced a gridpack with my process following the instruction reported in [0] and [1] i.e:
define j = j b b~
generate b g > w- t, ( t > w+ b , w+ > l+ vl )
add process b~ g > w+ t~, (t~ > w- b~, w- > l- vl~)
add process b g > w- t j, ( t > w+ b , w+ > l+ vl )
add process b~ g > w+ t~ j, (t~ > w- b~, w- > l- vl~)
output PROC_TW_03_tw1j
Then I exit mg5 interactive session, turned gridpack on in PROC_TW_
True = gridpack !True = setting up the grid pack
and finally
./bin/generate_
Here, when asked, i set shower to Pythia8:
/======
| 1. Choose the shower/
| 2. Choose the detector simulation program | detector = Not Avail. | Please install module |
| 3. Choose an analysis package (plot/convert) | analysis = Not Avail. | Please install module |
| 4. Decay onshell particles | madspin = OFF | ON|onshell|full |
| 5. Add weights to events for new hypp. | reweight = OFF | ON |
\======
hit return a couple of times and everything seems ok. I got my gridpack (see [2] for the full generate_events output) and tried to generate few events...
I copied the gridpack file in another directory, untarred it and run the script run.sh for 10 events.
Everything looks ok but the events are not showered and I see only the hard scattering particles.
So my questions are:
1) Is this the normal behaviour and I need to shower by myself the LHE events? (how? Is this something included in the mg5_amcnlo package?)
2) If not, what am I missing? How can i produce a gridpack which run the showering step?
Thanks for helping
Attilio

The following switches determine which programs are run:
/======
| 1. Choose the shower/
| 2. Choose the detector simulation program | detector = Not Avail. | Please install module |
| 3. Choose an analysis package (plot/convert) | analysis = Not Avail. | Please install module |
| 4. Decay onshell particles | madspin = OFF | ON|onshell|full |
| 5. Add weights to events for new hypp. | reweight = OFF | ON |
\======
Either type the switch number (1 to 5) to change its setting,
Set any switch explicitly (e.g. type 'shower=Pythia8' at the prompt)
Type 'help' for the list of all valid option
Type '0', 'auto', 'done' or just press enter when you are done.[60s to answer]
