MCTester_i generator package (with algorithm and jobOption)
Doxgyen documention on MCTester_i algorithm
Here you will find some of the MC-TESTER output comparing various Monte-Carlo Generators. These datasets were chosen, several with known problems, to demonstrate the use of MC-TESTER in monte-carlo validation for Athena. The shape difference parameter was calculated using User Analysis MCTest01.
Please ignore some entries with zero tau lifetime. These come from tau -> gamma tau. This type of decay can be ignored by setting MCTesterToolAlg.include_decays_to_self='false' in the jobOption file.

| Dataset | Ouput | Comments | mc12.005107 vs. csc11.005107 | Booklet | They look compatable. | mc12.005107 vs. mc12.005189 | Booklet | They look compatable. Note that radiative corrections are placed differently in the event record for each. | mc12.005189 vs. mc12.005607 | Booklet | Differences can be seen (as expected since 005607 does not use tauola) | ZZ->llll | Grepped log for ZZ.llll | Sample with known issue in r <= 13. Some taus remain stable. fixed in r14. | mc12.005107 vs. valid1.005107.e337 | Grepped log for valid1.005107.e337 and Booklet | They look compatable, Should be okay, but 77 out of 8220 valid1.005107.e337 events failed 4-momentum conservation check |
