! File: main16.cmnd ! This file contains commands to be read in for a Pythia8 run. ! Lines not beginning with a letter or digit are comments. ! Names are case-insensitive - but spellings-sensitive! ! The changes here are illustrative, not always physics-motivated. ! 1) Settings that are used in the main program. Main:numberOfEvents = 1000 ! number of events to generate Main:timesAllowErrors = 10 ! abort run after this many flawed events ! 2) Settings related to output in init(), next() and stat(). Init:showChangedSettings = on ! list changed settings Init:showChangedParticleData = on ! list changed particle data #Init:showChangedResonanceData = on ! also print changed resonance data Init:showOneParticleData = 25 ! print data for this particular particle Next:numberCount = 100 ! print message every n events Next:numberShowInfo = 1 ! print event information n times Next:numberShowProcess = 1 ! print process record n times Next:numberShowEvent = 0 ! print event record n times Stat:showPartonLevel = on ! more statistics on MPI ! 3) Beam settings. Beams:idA = 2212 ! first beam, p = 2212, pbar = -2212 Beams:idB = 2212 ! second beam, p = 2212, pbar = -2212 Beams:eCM = 14000. ! CM energy of collision, LHC ! 4) Settings for hard-process generation internal to Pythia8. HiggsSM:gg2H = on ! Higgs production by gluon-gluon fusion 25:m0 = 123.5 ! Higgs mass ! 5) Switch off some key components of the simulation, for comparisons. #PartonLevel:all = off ! stop after hard process #PartonLevel:MPI = off ! no multiparton interactions #PartonLevel:ISR = off ! no initial-state radiation #PartonLevel:FSR = off ! no final-state radiation #HadronLevel:all = off ! stop after parton level #HadronLevel:Hadronize = off ! no hadronization #HadronLevel:Decay = off ! no decays ! 6) Any other changes you desire.
