Hey all,
I am using Pythia8 to generate heavy flavor production at the LHCb. I am trying to implement the LHCb tuning provided in gitlab.cern.ch/lhcb/Gauss/-/blob/master/Gen/LbPythia8/options/LHCbDefault.cmd, and the header file “LhcbHooks.h” and source code “LhcbHooks.cpp.” I created a .h file and a .cpp file, however, when I run my Pythia8 simulations I get the error:
PYTHIA Error: input string not found in settings databases::
pTDampingHook:pT0Ref = 1.43
PYTHIA Error: input string not found in settings databases::
pTDampingHook:ecmRef = 13000
PYTHIA Error: input string not found in settings databases::
pTDampingHook:ecmPow = 0.09
and my Root basically breaks the simulation. It looks like the macro where I am running my event collisions and heavy flavor generation is not reading in the header file “LhcbHook.h” event though I used an include statement for it.
Anyone has any tip? I suspect this is a rather easy bug, due to the fact that I am new to root and Pythia (May 2022). Can someone help me?
Thanks,
