• [Nov.2004] Talked about ME-generators in CDF Simulation at Joint Physics Meeting on Nov. 24th. Slides are here.


• [Nov.2004] Update a procedure for running LesHouches in MCProd with multi-run number sequaence.


• [Nov.2004] Link to Kathy's page for the instruction of MCProd with LesHouches module. This page will go to public page.


• [Apr.2004] Update MadGraph interface, which has spin information in each particle. To avoid confliction with old version of MadGraph (without spin), we add a new generator ID as "MadGraph3". The calling sequence will be
  LesGenType set MadGraph3


• [Apr.2004] Set the first event number to read from event file.
  firstEventToRead set (int.)


• [Apr.2004] Set resonance particle (W or Z) in the event history, if lepton pair apears sequentialy in event.
  putResonance set [true] or [false]


• [Apr.2004] Set energy scale for the parton shower based on kt-clustering algorithm. In this case, the PS-scale is overwritten by a new scale recalculated by kt-cluster. Otherwise, the original scale in the event file is used.
  scaleOfKtClus set [true] or [false]


• [Nov.2003] STDHEP file is available for input/output.
  useStdhep set 1 or 2 for WRITE/READ STDHEP file,
  
  StdhepFileName set [filename]
  NumOfStdEvent set (int.) for storing/reading number of events.


• [Aug.2003] PYXTRA ver.4.0 routine provided by S. Mrenna is included in Madgraph interface.
  To keep consistency with the original code of Madgraph, a new generator ID, PYXTRA-MadGraph is added. Users can use this ID in a tcl file:
  LesGenType set "PYXTRA-MadGraph"
  Users have to check if their event file format includes spin information.
  The scale for ISR is decided by kt-clustering in this routine. But HERWIG does not care this scale. Since tauola decay package is already included in CDF offline code, the tauola in this routine was removed from the original code.

One may want to use it under CDF offline code 4.9.1. However, there were big differences between 4.9.1 and 4.11.1.

• no LesHouchesModule in 4.9.1.
• root ver.3.03/07 to ver.3.05/04.
• HERWIG ver.6.4 to ver.6.5.

So that, we need to do the followings:

• Copy :
  • LesHouchesModule.hh to ./LesHouches/LesHouches/,
  • HerwigMenu.hh to ./LesHouches/LesHouches/,
  • LesHouchesModule.cc to ./LesHouches/test/,
  • HerwigMenu.cc to ./LesHouches/test/.
• Edit :
  #include "generatorMods/LesHouchesModule.hh" to #include "LesHouches/LesHouchesModule.hh",
  and #include "generatorMods/HerwigMenu.hh" to #include "LesHouches/HerwigMenu.hh" in
  • ./LesHouches/src/les_upinit.cc
  • ./LesHouches/src/les_upevnt.cc
  • ./LesHouches/test/LesHouchesModule.cc
  • ./LesHouches/test/HerwigMenu.cc
  • ./LesHouches/test/LesHouchesModule_test.cc
• Edit ./LesHouches/test/GNUmakefile :
  • remove "LesHouchesModule_internal",
    ==> TBINS = LesHouchesModule_test,
  • add "HerwigMenu.o LesHouchesModule.o"
    ==> override LOADLIBES += HerwigMenu.o LesHouchesModule.o -lgeneratorMods -lLesHouches -lwbbgen_i
  • add line,
    ==> LIBCCFILES = $(filter-out $(skip_files),$(wildcard *.cc))
• Comment out : in HerwigMenu.cc
  
  • herwig->Hw6500() -> prespl = _prespl_Parm.value();
  • herwig->Hwgupr() -> lhsoft = _lhsoft_Parm.value();

Then, gmake etc..
