AMISIC fails to read from anything not called Run.dat

[Generic User (don't modify these fields)]

AMISIC fails to read the (mi){ }(mi) section if the RUNDATA file is not called Run.dat, as e.g. in the attached Run-gammabb-z-analysis.dat.

This RUNDATA crashes as is, but works when changing the process back to 11 -11 93(1)

This RUNDATA used to work for us in 1.1.2

The message we get when running Run-LHC.dat as attached

You are missing a cut on your matrix element, which is divergent as you are using it at the moment. For example imposing a simple pT cut on the photon (in the selector section) should help.

Obviously my comment was referring to your Run-LHC.dat (which was the only one attached to the bug report at the time I started to look at it). So that explains why this one crashes. Now your actual problem is with the Run-gammabb-z-analysis.dat, is that correct?

[Generic User (don't modify these fields)]

That is correct.

This is a small bug in the initialisation of our MI module. It can't read the (mi){ ... }(mi) section from anything called differently from Run.dat.

So as a workaround until we have fixed this, I suggest you either rename your Run-gammabb-z-analysis.dat into Run.dat or you keep using RUNDATA=Run-gammabb-z-analysis.dat but in addition add a Run.dat to your working directory which contains only the (mi){ ... }(mi) section.

You know what - this works!

Thank you,

Dear all,

this bug will not be fixed due to the age of Sherpa v1.1.3. Please use either a newer version of the program or rename your input file to Run.dat.

Sorry for any inconvenience

Stefan
