Detailed Description

A derived class from LHAup which generates events with HelacOnia.

This class automatically generates hard processes with HelacOnia and reads in the LHEF file output. The user can send commands to HelacOnia via the readString method. The launch command, random seed, and shower choice are automatically handled. For example, the following will produce J/psi events from 13 TeV proton proton collisions: readString("generate u u~ > cc~(3S11) g") The number of events generated per HelacOnia run is controlled by setEvents, while the random seed is controlled by setSeed.

Member Function Documentation

void errorMsg ( string  messageIn)
inline

Print a message the first few times. Insert in database.

Recover number of times message occured. Also inserts new string.

Print message the first few times.

bool execute ( string  line)

Execute a system command.

Note: The functions below have been made public to ease the generation of Python bindings. protected:

bool reader ( bool  init)

Create the LHEF reader.

Check valid LHE file.

Determine the cross-section (if needed).

Set the info.

bool readString ( string  line)

Read a HelacOnia command string.

The special command "set state = <pid>" is not passed to HelacOnia, but rather is used to set the color singlet state being produced from the color octet state (if a color octet state is being produced). If color octet production is enabled then the appropriate quark mass is modified to half the mass of the color octet state plus the color octet mass splitting.

bool run ( int  eventsIn,
int  seedIn = -1 
)

Run HelacOnia.

Set up run and seed.

Determine the heavy quark mass.

Write the generation file.

Create the event shuffler.

Execute the run commands.

bool setEvent ( int  = 0)
virtual

Set the event information.

Run setEvent from the LHEF object and launch HelacOnia if failed.

Read the event from the LHEF object.

Write the event.

Implements LHAup.

void setEvents ( int  eventsIn)

Set the number of events to generate per run.

Set the number of events to generate per HelacOnia run; default is 10000.

bool setInit ( )
virtual

Set the initialization information.

Create the LHEF LHAup object and run setInit.

Implements LHAup.

bool setSeed ( int  seedIn,
int  runsIn = 30081 
)

Set the random seed and maximum runs.

Set the random seed and maximum allowed runs.

If the random seed is negative (default of -1), then the HelacOnia seed is taken as the Pythia parameter "Random:seed", which must be greater than 0. If the maximum number of allowed runs is exceeded (default of 30081) an error is thrown. The seed for a HelacOnia run is set as: (random seed - 1) * (maximum runs) + (number of runs) + 1 HelacOnia can only handle random seeds up to 30081 * 30081. So, with this strategy, one can generate Pythia jobs with seeds from 0 to 30081, with each job running HelacOnia less than 30081 times, and ensure a fully statistically independent sample. If more than 30081 jobs are needed, then the maximum allowed runs can be lowered accordingly, and if need be, setEvents can be used to increase the number of events generated per run.
