#185 closed Bug (fixed)

lhco format output seems to be invalid in madgraph framework

Description

Hi guys,

Maikel report on the MG5 track a problem with the plotting of events created by Delphes:
https://answers.launchpad.net/madgraph5/+question/230244
I've generated p p > e+ e- j
and reproduced the problem. By looking at the log of MA4, you will see:

----------------------------------------------

events information

----------------------------------------------


Events in file : 0
Integrated weight (pb) : 294.89999999999998
Max wgt : -1.0000000000000000
Average wgt : NaN


Passing the cuts (plotted)
--------------------------


Events : 0
Integrated weight (pb) : 0.0000000000000000
Max wgt : -1.0000000000000000
Average wgt : Infinity

So I think that some part of the lhco information are not pass anymore correctly to the lhco output. Could you look at that?

Cheers,

Olivier

PS: I always have problem with Delphes email notification, so if you ask me a question and that I don't react, just send me a direct email. (I hope that adding madgraph in the title of the email, will trigger the correct filter of my email but we will see)

Hi Olivier,

I'm afraid that we don't have enough information to fix this problem.

We need to know what exactly makes MadAnalysis4 unhappy.

Could you attach an example of .lhco file?

Cheers,

Pavel

Hi Pavel,

Your lhco file is just empty:

(end of the file:)

## In case FROG event display allowed
#NEvents_Frog      100
## Number of events to process 
#NEvents           -1                   // -1 means 'all'
#
## input PDG tables
#PdgTableFilename  DELPHESDIR/data/particle.tbl     // table with particle pid,mass,charge,...
#</mgdelphescard>
#</header>
#</LesHouchesEvents>
##  Integrated weight (pb)  : 294.975

You can see the end of the header. and then no event!

Cheers,

Olivier

Just to point that one people more complains about this:
https://answers.launchpad.net/madgraph5/+question/231928
(And this is other question raised on this point)

As a reminder, the problem is that Delphes didn't write any output events.
Even for the Standard Model (see the example above)
How is this possible?
What should I do? Advice them to use Delphes2? PGS? Did you fix this and forget to report it?

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

I'm afraid that we don't have enough information about this problem.

Could you, please send a list of commands to reproduce this problem?

Is it possible that the problem is in the MG5 scripts?

I don't see any problem with the root2lhco converter.

I run it as

./root2lhco test.root test.lhco

Thanks,

Pavel

I've tried to run MG5 to reproduce the problem.

Here are the commands:

wget https://launchpad.net/madgraph5/trunk/1.5.0/+download/MadGraph5_v1.5.11.tar.gz
tar -zxf MadGraph5_v1.5.11.tar.gz
cd MadGraph5_v1_5_11/
./bin/mg5
install Delphes
install pythia-pgs
install MadAnalysis
generate p p > z > e+ e-
launch

then MG5 indeed hangs at

Creating Plots for Delphes level

Using 'ps' I've found what executable is actually running at this point and tried to run in manually:

/bin/bash /scratch/MG5/MadGraph5_v1_5_11/PROC_sm_0/bin/internal/plot /scratch/MG5/MadGraph5_v1_5_11/MadAnalysis /scratch/MG5/MadGraph5_v1_5_11/td

it hangs after showing the following message:

plot_events found
topdrawer found
epstosmth found
plot_card found
cp: `../../../Cards/plot_card.dat' and `./ma_card.dat' are the same file
end plot_events
PAUSE:

Looks like this plot/MadAnalysis/td combination stops at some point and waits for some user input.

PROC_sm_0/Events/run_01/tag_1_delphes_events.lhco file looks OK:

I would say that it's up to the MG5 developers to tell us what is the problem.

Finally, it look like a bug (or even 2 bugs) in MadAnalysis.

Here is my test LHCO file:

It contains 4 events and 2 comment lines.

If I run MadAnalysis/plot_events with this file, it seems to work but only finds 3 events out of 4:

comment:7 by Pavel Demin, 11 years ago

I've finally found the source of the problem. It's a MadAnalysis bug.

The bug is at line 2907 in MadAnalysis/plot_events.f

         do while(index(buff,"  #  typ ") .eq. 0)

MadAnalysis requires " # typ " in the beginning of the file with at least 2 spaces before the '#' sign and exactly 2 spaces between '#' and 'typ'.

See MG5 bug #1198655 for more details:

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Workaround for this MadAnalysis bug is in trunk now and will be available in Delphes 3.0.10.
