Alpgen Production 2008

• Alpgen ttbar + N partons, N = 0,1,2,3,4
• Library: 2Qwork
• Production of grid2 files.
• Maria's rule of thumb: 5+N iterations, where N is the number of light (udsg) partons.
• ~ 43000 events per minute.

Template file:

1          ! generation mode
ttbar4j_40 ! string labeling the output files
0          ! start with: 0=new grid, 1=previous warmup grid, 2=previous generation grid
4000000  5 ! N(events)/iteration and N(iter's) for initial grid optimiz
50000000   ! number evts to generate

• Tried only 5 iterations for ttbar + 4 jets, trying now with 9 iterations and seeing if it makes a difference.
