RE: [SPA-ENG] "Citizen Science" Project - Report - Second week | Reporte - Segunda semana

Thanks a lot for this report on your work, and for having taken some time to read my numerous particle physics blogs. I hope you enjoyed them. I know some may be quite complex, but in general I often try to make the first and last section of each blog manageable for everyone who would like to get the essence of them. I however know that I sometimes dramatically fail in doing so… ;)
Please find below a few extra comments relative to your report.
There are only 90 seconds to modify them, so if, like me, you take screenshots of the previous step, write a paragraph and read what the next step is in @lemouth's post, you probably have to start over...
Ah yes, I forgot to mention this. MG5aMC likes being pushy. At the end of the day, this is however not a big deal. As you said it is sufficient to start over again.
And then verify also the Phytia8 output. This process, in my case, took more than 50 minutes.
Pythia8 is definitely the most time-consuming task here. This task is however a parallelisable one, so that it could be speeded up by assessing more cores to the virtual machine. This possibility however strongly depends on the performance of the system that you use.
I have then checked the errors you observed in the Pythia 8 log file:
In the process log I found several errors. I don't know why they occur or how important they are for the process.
The errors are a bit worrisome, as they should not be there. Do you mind sharing the full log file with me? Could you please post it somewhere on the web, so that I could have a closer look. The warnings are expected, but not the errors.
Cheers!
PS: special thanks for sharing what we do with the Spanish-speaking community on Hive!
Thank you very much for your very detailed comment!
Your posts explain the topics very well, in a simple way, but the topic itself is, of course, already very complex.
Regarding the time, 90 seconds is more than enough for the task, only this time I was doing my report at the same time. For the next one I think it won't be a problem.
Pythia 8 takes quite a long time, but I may as well leave it running while I do something else. Anyway, next time I will try to improve the virtual machine configuration.
I leave the log here: https://github.com/agreste-git/citizenscience/blob/main/tag_1_pythia8.log
I've been looking at it for a while, but it is way beyond my understanding of the subject.
Cheers!
I have further checked the entire log file and everything is fine. Therefore, there is no reason to worry.
More in details, Pythia 8 found out some configurations yielding an error. The package is however clever enough to automatically fix these issues by regenerating any faulty event. The final part of the log file shows us that 10,000 events have been showered and hadronised. This means that Pythia8 managed to correct all issues you met alone, without requiring any human interaction.
I hope everything is now clear! Thanks again for your hard and thorough work!
Cheers!
Thank you very much for the log review! I'm glad everything is ok. I updated the post with this info. cheers!
Great! Everything is thus now fixed and you ar eready for the next episode (next week) :)
