Automation

[A-A-Abdelhamid]

I created a text file to import our model (RPV_SUSY) and launch the process p p > mur- mur+:

import ./RPVMSSM_UFO/RPVMSSM_UFO
define q = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~ b t b~ t~ h01 h2 h3 h+ h-
define p = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~ b b~
generate p p > mur- mur+ /q
output auto
launch
shower=Pythia8
./param_card.dat

When trying to run ./bin/mg5_aMC filename.txt it starts MadGraph and creates an output, but it does do anything behind "launch"

My understanding is that running MadGraph like this runs the user interface where it expects a command line input, but I am not sure why it does not at least accept "shower=Pythia8" and it literally ignores it, it does not even an error message like it did with the parameter card.

I tried writing a bash script:

#!/bin/bash
./bin/mg5_aMC ./run_01_tag_1_banner.txt
echo -e "1" 

But it is still prompting me to manually choose the shower program and param cards options.

I am trying bash script:

#!/bin/bash
./bin/mg5_aMC
import ./RPVMSSM_UFO/RPVMSSM_UFO
define q = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~ b t b~ t~ h01 h2 h3 h+ h-
define p = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~ b b~
generate p p > mur- mur+ /q
output auto
launch
echo -e "1"

import ./RPVMSSM_UFO/RPVMSSM_UFO
define q = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~ b t b~ t~ h01 h2 h3 h+ h-
define p = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~ b b~
generate p p > mur- mur+ /q
output auto
launch
1

I get the same output when I replace 1 in my last line withshower=on, shower=Pythia8, or

1
shower=Pythia8

I ran:

#!/bin/bash
./bin/mg5_aMC auto.txt

the file auto.txt is:

import ./RPVMSSM_UFO/RPVMSSM_UFO
define q = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~ b t b~ t~ h01 h2 h3 h+ h-
define p = g u c d s u~ c~ d~ s~ b b~
generate p p > mur- mur+ /q
output auto
launch
shower=ON 

But...

"ON" not valid option for "shower"
