Merge lp:~maddevelopers/mg5amcnlo/2.3.3 into lp:mg5amcnlo/lts

[Olivier Mattelaer]

I think this is time to merge.
Any objection?

Olivier

[Rikkert Frederix (frederix)]

Hi Olivier,

yeah, it's definitely time.
There seems to be many text conflicts, though. Strange...

Cheers,
Rik

shower-subtraction terms.

merge with 2.3.2.2

small fix for the applgrid stuff when running with [LOonly=QCD]

[Olivier Mattelaer (olivier-mattelaer)]

Hi Rik,

Indeed that was weird, looks like it was related to the 2.3.2.2 release.

I merged that branch inside this branch and everything seems fine now.
(will run all the test to be sure)

Cheers,

Olivier

[Rikkert Frederix (frederix)]

Hi Olivier,

I'm okay with releasing this version.

Cheers,
Rik

fix for having LOonly running also with processes without colored particles

[marco zaro (marco-zaro)]

guys
sorry, i did a last minute push, which enables people to do LOonly also for processes without
any QCD colored particle (e.g. a a > e+ e-).
I hope this could be included in the release…
Thanks!

Marco

Hi Marco,

I just checked your last push and I think it is all okay.

+<<<<<<< TREE
+2.3.2.2 (06/09/15)
+=======
+2.3.3(XX/XX/XX)
+        OM: Allow new syntax for the param_card: instead of an entry you can enter scan:[val1, val2,...]
+            To perform a scan on this parameter.
+        OM: Having two mode for "output pythia8" one (default) for pythia8.2 and one for pythia8.1 (with --version=8.1)
+	RF: Rewriting of job-control for NLO processes. Better accuracy estimates for FO processes
+	RF: Fix for factorisation scale setting in FxFx merging when very large difference in scale in the
+ 	    non-QCD part of a process. 
+	RF: Better discarding of numerical instabilities in the real-emission matrix elements. Only of interested for
+	    processes which have jets at Born level, but do not require generation cut (like t-channel single-top). 
+	RF: Added an option to the run_card to allow for easier variation of the shower starting scale (NLO only).
+	RF: Fixed a problem in the setting of the flavour map used for runs with iAPPL >= 1. 
+	RF: Allow for decay processes to compute (partial) decay widths at NLO accuracy (fixed order only).
+        OM: (SysCalc interface) Allow to bypass the pdf reweighting/alpsfact reweighting
+        MZ: fixed bug related to slurm clusters
+	OM: remove the addmasses.py script of running by default on gridpack mode. 
+            if you want to have it running, you just have to rename the file madevent/bin/internal/addmasses_optional.py to
+ 	    madevent/bin/internal/addmasses_optional.py and it will work as before. (Do not work with SysCalc tag)
