       Hi Holger,<br>
    <br>
    we did the validation using this dataset:<br>
    <br>
    <span>
      <pre>mc12_8TeV.181085.PowhegPythia8_AU2CT10_HJJ_MINLO_ggH125_gamgam.evgen.EVNT.e2005/

</pre>
    </span>The validation plots are in the attachment. <br>
    Note that, it's only relevant to compare certain plots where the
    prediction in the paper is using MinLO.<br>
    <br>
    However, I'm a bit confused here since I don't understand what
    exactly are you trying to do.<br>
    My understanding was that it's the responsibility of the experiment
    to provide the validated analysis  from the physics point of view
    (which we were doing). <br>
    I understand the Rivet authors do the checks/improvements from
    technical side (although we do it partially too).<br>
    If this has changed and we don't need to do such validation anymore,
    let us know (cc-ing Chris who has been doing this lately). <br>
    <br>
    Cheers,<br>
      Roman<br>

                    <pre>Hi Holger,

The routine was validated using a gluon fusion MiNLO HJJ sample: 

mc12_8TeV.181085.PowhegPythia8_AU2CT10_HJJ_MINLO_ggH125_gamgam.evgen.EVNT.e2005

scaled to XS*BR = 19.27*0.00228. No other production modes were included for the validation. The results from the routine were compared against the analysis code (used to derive the unfolding factors for the data) with very good agreement. The plots in the publication were also reproduced by Roman Lysak (ex ATLAS Rivet contact) using the routine. Unfortunately I don’t have the plots from the ‘final’ version of the routine — Roman would have those.

Let me know if you need anymore information.</pre>

                <br>
                I was trying to find the generator setup bits for this
                sample looking into AMI and the svn browser of MC job
                options.<br>
                It would seem as if powheg (==powhegbox???) parton level
                outputs (.LHEF) were  simply showered with Pythia8<br>
                allowing only for H->gamma gamma decays handled by
                pythia8. What I am unable to find are the processes<br>
                included when running powheg (box?).<br>
                <br>
                <br>
                These are the JOs:<br>

                As you can see, the latter just looks for files commonly

                  whatsoever what these contain.<br>
                  <br>
                  This is a bit dangerous. I would assume that the
                  information on the processes switched on when
                  generating these files is<br>
                  stored some other place. Maybe ami would be a good
                  place to store this kind of information globally.<br>
                  <br>
                  So yeah, at this point I cannot consider your plugin
                  validated as I cannot reproduce your results.<br>

                        <pre>Hi Holger,

with a plain Sherpa H->gamma gamma setup the BRs will be screwed up,
so a factor of 10 can be expected.
There are new options for the upcoming Sherpa 2.2.0 which allow to fix this:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://sherpa.hepforge.org/doc/SHERPA-MC-2.2.0.html#HDH_005fWIDTH" target="_blank">http://sherpa.hepforge.org/doc/SHERPA-MC-2.2.0.html#HDH_005fWIDTH</a>

For Sherpa 2.1.1 you are best off running without BR weights
(HDH_BR_WEIGHTS=0) and multiplying with the correct H->gamma gamma BR
manually at the end.

Cheers,
Frank

                          <pre>Hi Michaela,

in preparation of tomorrows release of Rivet we are currently validating the
contrib plugins
and I am having trouble with yours.

Maybe you could tell me your validation procedure, i.e. which MC you ran
with what channels
and so forth.

I am seeing a factor of 10 discrapancy in a sherpa generic H->gamma gamma
setup.

Best,
Holger
