Relaunch Madgraph Production W_munumu

W_Munumu with MadGraph. Relaunch as there was a bug in !184 (merged)

Subworking Group

EW

Total number of events requested

66 M

Data format requested

DST

PPG Approval

There are limits for each of the four data taking periods (2011+12, 2015+16, 2017, 2018). Requests need to be approved by the PPG if above the following thresholds

  • unfiltered and Full DST: 4M per block (eg 16M total if requesting for Run1-2 dataset).
  • unfiltered and uDST: 20M per block

When in doubt, fill the field below. If the PPG Approval Required tag is automatically added, fill the field below.

Motivation for PPG Approval

From our side: First and foremost, we need these samples to perform the W helicity analysis, which needs high MC stats to allow finer granularity in the template construction. We've seen detriment to results (deviation from expectations in closure tests) when we are not having fine enough binning in the template constructions.

For a more global viewpoint: As this is a first pass of centrally produced SM MadGraph simulation in Gauss, we want to study the lineshape of the W mass produced here as a global contribution to the validity of using aMC@NLO MadGraph more widely within the collaboration. Additionally, within the W-mass related analyses, we have received desire to further look into the use of aMC@NLO within these analyses. Therefore, we choose to match the statistics previously used by the Pythia-only W simulation for the W-mass measurement for direct comparisons of studies as systematics when desired.

Note from the liaison: This is the exact same request as the previous one but there was a bug in that one so we had to reproduce these. The old production has since been deleted, so no storage issues. Given that its the exact same request, I think this would be an easy PPG approval :)

Comments

Relaunch due to bug in previous request. This is fixed in lhcb/Gauss!995 (merged) and Decfile was updated in lhcb-datapkg/Gen/DecFiles!1616 (merged)

Requires Gauss v56r6 or later
