[Rivet] HepMC multi weight convention for central weightHolger Schulz holger.schulz at durham.ac.ukTue Feb 2 12:52:35 GMT 2016
Hi all, the alpha version of rivet 3 (which supports multiple weights natively) triggered a discussion on what the central weight name should be. As far as I know there is only a convention for scale and pdf variations in the 2013 LesHouches proceedings. What was (I think) agreed upon is that the central weight should simply come first in the weight vector when writing out to HepMc. This however states a tiny technical problem as the write out of the WeightContainer in HepMc2 does not preserve the order of weights. Within Sherpa the name "Weight" was used and if I understand correctly, would also be fine from Stefan Prestel's point of view. It is maybe not that urgent but it would help us in the development of HepMC and Rivet 3 if we could agree on a name for the central weight. Thanks, Holger
