! 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 ! 5) Set Higgs mass, width and branching ratios by hand. ! Values for 125 GeV SM Higgs taken from ! Handbook of LHC Higgs Cross Sections: 1. Inclusive Observables, ! S. Dittmaier et al., CERN-2011-002 [arXiv:1101.0593]. ! Note: sum is not quite unity, and so BR's are rescaled accordingly. 25:m0 = 125.0 ! Higgs mass 25:mWidth = 0.00403 ! Higgs width 25:0:bRatio = 0.0 ! H -> d dbar 25:1:bRatio = 0.0 ! H -> u ubar 25:2:bRatio = 0.00044 ! H -> s sbar 25:3:bRatio = 0.0268 ! H -> c cbar 25:4:bRatio = 0.578 ! H -> b bbar 25:5:bRatio = 0.0 ! H -> t tbar 25:6:bRatio = 0.0 ! H -> e+ e- 25:7:bRatio = 0.000221 ! H -> mu+ mu- 25:8:bRatio = 0.0637 ! H -> tau+ tau- 25:9:bRatio = 0.0856 !

H -> W+ W- 25:0:meMode = 100 ! set meMode = 100 so that 25:1:meMode = 100 ! branching ratios are not 25:2:meMode = 100 ! overwritten at initialization 25:3:meMode = 100 25:4:meMode = 100 25:5:meMode = 100 25:6:meMode = 100 25:7:meMode = 100 25:8:meMode = 100 25:9:meMode = 100 25:10:meMode = 100 25:11:meMode = 100 25:12:meMode = 100 25:13:meMode = 100 ! 6) 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 ! 7) Any other changes you desire.
