As far as I understand, this analysis really corrected back to the<br>
stable Higgs because it's combining the yy and 4l channel, so you<br>
indeed have to run it with a stable Higgs simulation.<br>

We'll need to discuss this in Glasgow. That's just not the right way to deal with combinations. Tevatron Run 1 could just as well claim to need generator runs with showering and hadronization turned off.<span class=""><br>

Or are you just complaining about the technicalities (printf, abort)<br>
of how that is handled?<br>

That, too. Rivet should never kill the program it's called from. Print huge warning messages if you want, and of course, skip the event, but don't abort() on a test that isn't robust. I noticed it in a run combining all ATLAS analyses for a certain energy. It could also be a problem if several MEs are switched on, only one of which is Higgs.<span class=""><br>

That's really not our problem. The current situation would have wasted one day of _my_ time had I not noticed. I don't see why we need to favour one over the other.<br>

See you soon!<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
