GridpackGeneration

This repository contains the files that are necessary for setting up a genproducitons directory that can be used to produce EFT gridpacks

Instructions:

• First, cd into mcgeneration
• Next run source setup_production.sh
  • This script will checkout cms-sw/genproductions
  • Two of the files in cms-sw/genproductions are overwritten with the modified versions located in mcgeneration
  • Additional files from mcgeneration are copied to genproductions as well
  • The script will move you to the genproductions directory it just created
• To make gridpacks:
  • From genproductions, cd into bin/MadGraph5_aMCatNLO
  • Open configure_gridpack.py and modify according to the type of gridpack or gridpacks you would like to produce
  • Run configure_gridpack.py

Notes:

• If you are running the script from anywhere besides cmsconnect, the script will create the genproductions directory in the same directory that GridpackGeneration is located in
• If you are running the script from cmsconnect, it will create the directory in your /local-scratch area
• Files in /local-scratch are deleted 30 days after their last modification, so if you would like to keep your gridpacks, be sure to move them to a permanent location after they are completed

Making Run 2 gridpacks on CMS Connect:

To correctly make gridpacks for Run 2 (based on slc7/cc7) you must enter singularity:

cmssw-cc7-condor-python27

This command should be executed from the base genproductions folder (not the MadGraph5 folder, otherwise the git repository won't be available).
