Does anyone know how to take the LHE file from madgraph, and get a table of \sigma and invariant masses of all pairs for each run? Thank you very much for your help guys. Have a great day!
To generate tables of data with LHE files from madgraph, you will need to follow these steps:
LHE stands for Les Houches Event format, and it is a standard format used to store events and their corresponding kinematic information from high-energy physics simulations. LHE files are generated by programs such as madgraph, which use Monte Carlo methods to simulate particle collisions and generate events.
Yes, you can customize the data tables to include only the specific variables or information that you are interested in. This can be done by using the appropriate commands or functions in your data analysis tool.
There are a few limitations to using LHE files for data analysis. Firstly, the accuracy of the data is limited by the underlying physics models and simulations used to generate the LHE files. Additionally, LHE files only contain information about the final state particles and do not include any information about the initial state particles or the intermediate steps of the event.
To validate the data tables generated from LHE files, you can compare them to theoretical predictions or other experimental data. You can also check for consistency within the data itself, such as ensuring energy and momentum conservation. Additionally, you can cross-check the results with other data analysis tools to verify the accuracy of the tables.
