Detailed Description

LHAup is base class for initialization and event information from an external parton-level generator.

Member Function Documentation

void closeFile ( istream *&  is,
ifstream &  ifs 
)
protected

Companion method to 'openFile', above. Correctly deallocates memory if required before closing the file.

If the istream pointer is not NULL and is not the same as the ifstream, then delete pointer.

Close the file

bool closeLHEF ( bool  updateInit = false)
virtual

Write end of a Les Houches Event File and close it.

Write an end to the file.

Optionally update the cross section information.

Rewrite header; identically with what openLHEF did.

Redo initialization information.

Done.

Reimplemented in LHEF3FromPythia8.

bool eventLHEF ( bool  verbose = true)

Write event information to a Les Houches Event File. Normal mode is to line up event info in columns, but the non-verbose alternative saves space at the expense of human readability.

Default verbose option.

Write information on process as such.

Write information on the particles, excluding zeroth.

Optionally write information on PDF values at hard interaction.

Optionally write information on shower scales, primarily in DPS events.

Alternative non-verbose option.

Write information on process as such.

Write information on the particles, excluding zeroth.

Optionally write information on PDF values at hard interaction.

Optionally write information on shower scales, primarily in DPS events.

Done.

bool initLHEF ( )

Write initialization information to a Les Houches Event File.

Write information on beams.

Write information on all the subprocesses.

Done.

void listEvent ( )

Print the info; useful to check that reading an event worked.

Print the event info; to check it worked.

Header.

Basic event info.

Particle list

PDF info - optional.

Finished.

void listInit ( )

Print the initialization info; useful to check that setting it worked.

Print the initialization info; to check it worked.

Header.

Beam info.

Event weighting strategy.

Process list.

Finished.

istream * openFile ( const char *  fn,
ifstream &  ifs 
)
protected

Helper routines to open and close a file handling GZIP: ifstream ifs; istream *is = openFile("myFile.txt", ifs); – Process file using is – closeFile(is, ifs);

Open a file using provided ifstream and return a pointer to an istream that can be used to process the file.

Open the file

bool openLHEF ( string  fileNameIn)
virtual

Four routines to write a Les Houches Event file in steps.

Open and write header to a Les Houches Event File.

Open file for writing. Reset it to be empty.

Read out current date and time.

Write header.

Done.

Reimplemented in LHEF3FromPythia8.

virtual bool setEvent ( int  idProcIn = 0)
pure virtual

A pure virtual method setEvent, wherein information on the next event is supposed to be set in the derived class. Strategies +-1 and +-2: idProcIn is the process type, selected by PYTHIA. Strategies +-3 and +-4: idProcIn is dummy; process choice is made locally. The method can find the next event by a runtime interface to another program, or by reading a file, as desired. The method should return false if it did not work.

Implemented in LHEF3FromPythia8, LHAupFromPYTHIA8, LHAupLHEF, LHAupH5, LHAupMadgraph, LHAupAlpgen, LHAupFortran, LHAupH5v2, and LHAupHelaconia.

void setInfoHeader ( const string &  key,
const string &  val 
)
inlineprotected

LHAup is a friend class to infoPtr, but derived classes are not. This wrapper function can be used by derived classes to set headers in the Info class.

virtual bool setInit ( )
pure virtual

A pure virtual method setInit, wherein all initialization information is supposed to be set in the derived class. Can do this by reading a file or some other way, as desired. Returns false if it did not work.

Implemented in LHEF3FromPythia8, LHAupFromPYTHIA8, LHAupLHEF, LHAupH5, LHAupAlpgen, LHAupMadgraph, LHAupH5v2, LHAupFortran, and LHAupHelaconia.

bool setInitLHEF ( istream &  is,
bool  readHeaders = false 
)
protected

Three routines for LHEF files, but put here for flexibility.

Read in initialization information from a Les Houches Event File.

Check that first line is consistent with proper LHEF file.

What to search for if reading headers; if not reading headers then return to default behaviour

Loop over lines until an <init (or optionally <header>) tag is found first on a line.

If header tag found, process if required

Temporary local storage

Loop over lines until an <init> tag is found.

Break lines containing multiple tags into two segments. (Could be generalized to multiple segments but this is sufficient to handle at least <tag>info</tag> on same line.

Loop over segments of current line

Clean line to contain only valid characters

Check for empty line

PZS Jan 2015: Allow multiple open/close tags on a single line.

Update remainder (non-tag) part of line, for later storage

Only take the first word of the tag,

Prepare for next while iteration: Look for next tag on line and update posBeg and posEnd.

Tag present, so handle here

Exit condition

End of header block; keep reading until <init> tag, but do not store any further information

Opening tag

Closing tag that matches current key

Also check for forgotten close tag: next-to-last element

if (getfirst)

Loop over tags

Exit condition

At this point the (rest of) the line is not a tag; If no longer reading anything, skip.

Check for key change

Check if anything remains to store of this line

Append information to local storage

Loop over line segments

Exit condition

while (true)

Copy information to info using LHAup::setInfoHeader

if (readHeaders == true && tag == headerTag)

Read in first info line; done if empty.

Read in beam and strategy info, and store it.

Read in process info, one process at a time, and store it.

Reading worked.

bool setNewEventLHEF ( istream &  is)
protected

Read in event information from a Les Houches Event File, into a staging area where it can be reused by setOldEventLHEF.

Loop over lines until an <event tag is found first on a line.

Read in process info and store it.

Reset particlesSave vector, add slot-0 empty particle.

Read in particle info one by one, and store it. Note unusual C++ loop range, to better reflect LHA/Fortran standard. (Recall that process(...) above added empty particle at index 0.)

Flavour and x values of hard-process initiators.

Continue parsing till </event>. Look for optional info on the way.

Extract PDF info if present.

Extract shower scales info if present.

Extract scale info if present.

Need id and x values even when no PDF info. Rest empty.

Reading worked.

bool setOldEventLHEF ( )
protected

Make current event information read in by setNewEventLHEF.

Store saved event, optionally also parton density and scale information.

Done;

void setProcess ( int  idProcIn = 0,
double  weightIn = 1.,
double  scaleIn = 0.,
double  alphaQEDIn = 0.0073,
double  alphaQCDIn = 0.12 
)
inlineprotected

Input info on the selected process.

Clear particle list. Add empty zeroth particle for correct indices.

virtual bool skipEvent ( int  nSkip)
inlinevirtual

Skip ahead a number of events, which are not considered further. Mainly intended for debug when using the LHAupLHEF class.

Reimplemented in LHAupLHEF.

Member Data Documentation

const double CONVERTMB2PB = 1e9
staticprotected

Allow conversion from mb to pb.

LHAup class.

Constants: could be changed here if desired, but normally should not. These are of technical nature, as described for each. LHA convention with cross section in pb may require conversion from mb.
