missing file from HiggsBounds5 interface

[WojciechKotlarski]

Hi Florian,

The HiggsBounds v5 requires a file called LHC8_Hplus_hadCS.dat. According to the new HB5 manual, this file is not optional but is not produced by SPheno. Is that a problem on your side, or should I report it to HB people?

cheers,
Wojciech

Hi,

yes, this file is not produced by SPheno because SPheno doesn't calculate any cross section for the charged Higgs. So, HB should run and give the following warnings:

Code: Select all

 The problematic input file is called:
   .../LHC8_Hplus_hadCS.dat
 WARNING: Required file not found. Corresponding values are set to zero!
 The problematic input file is called:
   .../LHC13_Hplus_hadCS.dat
 WARNING: Required file not found. Corresponding values are set to zero!

If you think that these files could be important for you (because you have light charged Higgs for instance) then you need to calculate the cross sections and write the files by your own.

Cheers,
Florian

Hi,

Thanks for a quick reply. The problem is that when I run HB this file seems to be necessary. I don't care about the charge Higgs that much, its just that the HB crashes with an error message

Code: Select all

 The problematic input file is called:
   ./LHC8_Hplus_hadCS.dat
 WARNING: Required file not found. Corresponding values are set to zero!
 The problematic input file is called:
   ./LHC8_Hplus_hadCS.dat
error in input file: see standard output

This seems to be confirmed by the preliminary HB manual, which marks this file as required (not optional). Is it possible that your version of HB is different then the one on their webpage?

Ps. I'm running in the effC mode.

cheers,
Wojciech

Hi,

with HB5 they made also many other changes in their interface. To get the files in the new format you must set

Code: Select all

 76 2               # Write HiggsBounds file   

With 1 you get the HB4 format.

Hi,

That is what I did.

Ok. I'm using HiggsBounds-5.0.0beta which I downloaded some time ago.
To see, If the problem are really the missing files, you can try create dummy files which you fill with zeros.

Cheers,

Hi,

Problem solved. This is compiler dependend. HB compiled with gfortran works fine, while the one compiled with ifort crashes. So this is definetelly not a problem on your end. Thanks a lot for your help and sorry about the ruckus.

Hi,

thank you for the feedback. These issues are always good to know.

Cheers,
