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

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

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).
