Immortal Smuons #31

Closed j-s-ashley closed 7 months ago

j-s-ashley commented 7 months ago

After running generate.sh for the first time, I ran the output through our current selection cuts and got a surprise: no events passed.

I backed up a step and tried to run plot_signal_particle_properties.py, which threw an error. image

So, I backed up further and pulled an event diagram and found the problem: smuons, once produced, do not decay.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a Pythia issue.

Problem resolved by passing MadGraph a path to a separate param_card before setting parameters (see commit 4e2a92d).
