Release notes
2.4.0 (12/06/16)
OM: Allowing the proper NLO reweighting for NLO sample
RF: For NLO processes allow for multiple PDF and scales reweighting, directy by inputting lists
in the run_card.dat.
VH: Interfaced MadLoop to Samurai and Ninja (the latter is now the default)
HS: Turn IREGI to off by default
MZ: new NLO generation mode. It is more efficient from the memory and CPU point of
view, in particular for high-multiplicity processes.
Many thanks to Josh Bendavid for his fundamental contribution for this.
The mode can be enabled with
> set low_mem_
before generating the process.
OM: Adding the possibility to use new syntax for tree-level processes:
QED==2 and QCD>2: The first allows to select exactly a power of the coupling (at amplitude level
While the second ask for a minimum value.
RF: In the PDF uncertainty for fixed-order NLO runs, variations of alphaS were not included.
OM: In MLM matching, fix a bug where the alpha_s reweighting was not fully applied on some events.
(This was leading to effects smaller than the theoretical uncertainty)
OM: Fixing the problem of using lhapdf6 on Mac
MZ: Faster interface for LHAPDF6
OM: Add support of epsilon_ijk in MadSpin
OM: Fix multiple problem with multiparticles in MadSpin
OM: Improve spinmode=None in MadSpin
OM: Update the TopEffTh model
MZ: Fix problem with slurm cluster
OM: Improve scan functionalities
PT: New way of handling Pythia8 decays
RF: Fixed a bug that resulted in wrong event weights for NLO processes when requiring
a very small number of events (introduced in 2.3.3)
OM: Allow to keep the reweight information in the final lhe file for future computation
MZ: updated FJcore to version 3.1.3 (was 3.0.5)
2.4.1 (09/06/16)
OM: Fix a bug in fix target experiment with PDF on the particle at rest.
The cross-section was correct but the z-boost was not performed correctly. (thanks D. Curtin)
OM: Fix various bug in MadSpin
OM: Fix some bug in MLM merging, where chcluster was forced to True (introduced in 2.2.0)
OM: Allow to specify a path for a custom directory where to look for model via the environment
2.4.2 (10/06/16)
OM: fix a compilation problem for non standard gfortran system
OM: reduce the need of lhapdf for standard LO run. (was making some run to test due to missing dependencies)
