Standalone MadGraph event generator including selected models
2.1K
This project containers a Docker setup for MadGraph including a model for top-philic resonances. It allows for fast generation of truth-level events without detector simulation (or using Delphes as a parametrisation of the ATLAS detector).
The software is provided as a docker image which is hosted on Docker Hub at philippgadow/mg5-standalone.
On a local machine with Docker installed (e.g. your laptop), execute:
mkdir output
docker run -it --rm --volume $PWD/output:/var/MG_outputs --volume /tmp:/tmp philippgadow/mg5-standalone
# ignore warning about groups: cannot find name for group ID 1099333925
On a machine with singularity support execute:
singularity exec --contain --bind /afs:/afs --bind /nfs:/nfs --bind /tmp:/tmp docker://philippgadow/mg5-standalone bash
# this will download the image and cache it at ~/.singularity/cache/oci-tmp/
# ignore warning about groups: cannot find name for group ID 1099333925
Alternatively, you can download ("pull") the image to a local path to avoid caching it in your afs space. This results in better performance.
# example, adapt paths accordingly
singularity build --sandbox /nfs/dust/atlas/user/pgadow/bsm4top/containers/mg5-standalone docker://philippgadow/mg5-standalone
# wait until image is prepared, then launch container from local image
singularity exec --contain --bind /afs:/afs --bind /nfs:/nfs --bind /tmp:/tmp /nfs/dust/atlas/user/pgadow/bsm4top/containers/mg5-standalone bash
# inside the container, assuming both /afs and /nfs are mounted (DESY NAF specific), allowing you to create directories in your afs space
# be careful about disk space, you might want considering an output directory on /nfs instead of /afs
mkdir ~/mg5_output
cd ~/mg5_output
# launch mg5 with default event generation for top-philic resonances model
