Interface of Pythia8 with ProMC This is an example of how to interface Pythia8 Monte Carlo generator with the ProMC file format for HepSim Monte Carlo repository. We use the VarintPacked particles method to fill particle records which gives very good file size reduction.
It assumes that the following variables are set:
PROMC
PYTHIA8
CLHEP
ROOTSYS
Look at the Makefile. Generally, ROOT is not needed, but we keep it for some tests. In order to insert data models (used to fill events), make sure your have a soft link "proto" to the directory where proto files are located.
After compiling the code, run the test job "A_RUN" which creates 10 ProIO files inside the directory "out"
