! main62.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 settings here are illustrative, not always physics-motivated. ! 1) Settings used in the main program. Main:timesAllowErrors = 3 ! how many aborts before run stops ! 2) Settings related to output in init(), next() and stat(). Init:showChangedSettings = on ! list changed settings Init:showAllSettings = off ! list all settings Init:showChangedParticleData = on ! list changed particle data Init:showAllParticleData = off ! list all particle data Next:numberCount = 1000 ! print message every n events Next:numberShowLHA = 1 ! print LHA information n times Next:numberShowInfo = 1 ! print event information n times Next:numberShowProcess = 1 ! print process record n times Next:numberShowEvent = 1 ! print event record n times Stat:showPartonLevel = off ! additional statistics on MPI ! 3) PDF settings. Default is to use internal PDFs PDF:useLHAPDF = on ! some pdf sets examples: cteq61.LHpdf cteq61.LHgrid MRST2004nlo.LHgrid PDF:LHAPDFset = MRST2001lo.LHgrid ! Allow extrapolation of PDF's beyond x and Q2 boundaries, at own risk. ! Default behaviour is to freeze PDF's at boundaries. PDF:extrapolateLHAPDF = on ! 4) Other common settings. 6:m0 = 175. ! same m_t as Pythia 6.4 to compare #ParticleDecays:limitTau0 = on ! set long-lived particle stable ... #ParticleDecays:tau0Max = 10 ! ... if c*tau0 > 10 mm ! 5) The number of subruns to execute. Main:numberOfSubruns = 2 ! 6) Information specific to the first subrun Main:subrun = 1 ! matches readFile( ..., 1) Beams:frameType = 4 ! use LHEF input Beams:LHEF = ttbar.lhe ! first LHEF event file ! 7) Information specific to the second subrun Main:subrun = 2 ! matches readFile( ..., 2) Beams:newLHEFsameInit = on ! no reinitialization needed/wanted Beams:LHEF = ttbar2.lhe ! second LHEF event file
