Pythia6 default as input

[Andreas Redelbach]

I have to use a Pythi6-based default "fort.97" output file as input for Delphes simulation. The various standard input file specifications ".hep" etc. do not work for that input.
Is there a setting or tool available to use / convert a "fort.97" from Pythia6 as input?

Best regards,
Andreas Redelbach

Dear Andreas,

Could you send me a link to an example of fort.97 file?

Hello Pavel,

I have attached one example output file from Pythia.

Apologies for this very basic question...

Regards,
Andreas

Thanks for the file.

Unfortunately, it does not look very easy for me to write a converter for this kind of format.

Would it possible for you to output events in a slightly more regular format?

For example, GEANT4 documentation contains the following code:

      SUBROUTINE HEP2G4
      PARAMETER (NMXHEP=2000)
      COMMON/HEPEVT/NEVHEP,NHEP,ISTHEP(NMXHEP),IDHEP(NMXHEP),
     >JMOHEP(2,NMXHEP),JDAHEP(2,NMXHEP),PHEP(5,NMXHEP),VHEP(4,NMXHEP)
      DOUBLE PRECISION PHEP,VHEP
*
      WRITE(6,*) NHEP
      DO IHEP=1,NHEP
       WRITE(6,10) 
     >  ISTHEP(IHEP),IDHEP(IHEP),JDAHEP(1,IHEP),JDAHEP(2,IHEP),
     >  PHEP(1,IHEP),PHEP(2,IHEP),PHEP(3,IHEP),PHEP(5,IHEP)
10     FORMAT(4I10,4(1X,D15.8))
      ENDDO
*
      RETURN
      END
