Bug #8909
GENIE crash due to looking for splines
100%
Description
When running GENIE in the 35t, v04_08_01 of larsoft, with
lar -c prodgenie_lbne35t.fcl
it crashes when looking for splines used for cross sections.

Can you give me some more information about the setup conditions.
source /grid/fermiapp/larsoft/products/setups
setup larsoft v04_08_01 -q debug:e7:noifdh
$ echo $GENIE
/grid/fermiapp/larsoft/products/genie/v2_8_6a/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e7-debug/GENIE_R286
$ echo $GENIEXSECFILE
/grid/fermiapp/larsoft/products/genie_xsec/v2_8_6/NULL/default/data/gxspl-NuMIsmall.xml
Those look fine, i.e. consistent. Could you document exactly how you setup your code and where to find prodgenie_lbne35t.fcl Are you trying to do anything unusual (such as modified GENIE physics parameters, or a such) or is this just straight using an existing release?
#2 Updated by Jonathan Insler about 5 years ago
prodgenie_lbne35t.fcl is in lbnecode. The setup conditions are:
source /grid/fermiapp/lbne/software/setup_lbne.sh
setup lbnecode v04_08_01 -q debug:e7:noifdh
lar -c prodgenie_lbne35t.fcl

Again that looks fine ...
Looking more carefully at the spline it complains about:
algorithm: genie::LwlynSmithQELCCPXSec/Default, interaction: nu:-14;tgt:1000040090;N:2212;proc:Weak[CC],QES
Hmmm.
grep "nu:-14;tgt:1000040090;N:2212" $GENIEXSECFILE
yields no match. That is a target Z=4 A=9 which is Be9 (Beryllium). Ahhh! Until now no experiments had a need for Beryllium to be represented in their detector. Is this a new feature of the geometry? It appears to have been introduced in v3 on 2014-10-20.
New detector geometry loaded from
/grid/fermiapp/products/lbne/lbnecode/v04_08_01/gdml/lbne35t4apa_v3.gdml
/grid/fermiapp/products/lbne/lbnecode/v04_08_01/gdml/lbne35t4apa_v3_nowires.gdml
Apparently there is a material Copper_Beryllium_alloy25 (w/ ~2% Be) from whence I think individual wires are created. Are you really generating GENIE events in a detector where individual wires are represented? Ugh, volume transversal sounds like it would be very slow.
Nevertheless, the problem is that the geometry has a nucleus isotope for which no cross-section splines were created.
The current list of isotopes for which splines are generate is (symbol : name, Z, [ A1, A2, ...]):
ionlist = {
'H' : ['hydrogen', 1, [ 1, 2 ]], # don't duplicate free proton?

}
But those only exist in the
$GENIEXSECPATH/gxspl-NuMIbig.xml.gz (but would need to be uncompressed for GENIE to read them. The gxspl-NuMIsmall.xml file pointed to by $GENIEXSECFILE only has:tgtkeep[1000000010] = 1; # free-n tgtkeep[1000010010] = 1; # H1 tgtkeep[1000020040] = 1; # He4 tgtkeep[1000060120] = 1; # C12 tgtkeep[1000070140] = 1; # N14 tgtkeep[1000080160] = 1; # O16 tgtkeep[1000110230] = 1; # Na23 tgtkeep[1000120240] = 1; # Mg24 tgtkeep[1000130270] = 1; # Al27 tgtkeep[1000140280] = 1; # Si28 tgtkeep[1000150310] = 1; # P31 tgtkeep[1000160320] = 1; # S32 tgtkeep[1000170350] = 1; # Cl35 tgtkeep[1000180400] = 1; # Ar40 tgtkeep[1000190390] = 1; # K39 tgtkeep[1000200400] = 1; # Ca40 tgtkeep[1000220480] = 1; # Ti48 tgtkeep[1000230510] = 1; # V51 tgtkeep[1000240520] = 1; # Cr52 tgtkeep[1000250550] = 1; # Mn55 tgtkeep[1000260540] = 1; # Fe54 tgtkeep[1000260560] = 1; # Fe56 tgtkeep[1000260570] = 1; # Fe57 tgtkeep[1000260580] = 1; # Fe58 tgtkeep[1000280590] = 1; # Ni59 tgtkeep[1000290640] = 1; # Cu64 tgtkeep[1000501190] = 1; # Sn119 tgtkeep[1000561370] = 1; # Ba137 tgtkeep[1000641480] = 1; # Gd158 tgtkeep[1000822070] = 1; # Pb207
Any geometry with elements beyond these will cause such issues. Can I get a survey of all LBNE/Dune/LArSoft geometries to identify isotopes that might appear?
I can generate an updated spline file with necessary additions.
As an aside ...

It couldn't find any appropriate flux files, which seems problematic ... but apparently something overcomes this later. I'd be interested in understanding what's going on here.

Ack. I generated the splines for Beryllium and incorporated them into the XML file back on May 29th, but never got around to packaging the new XML file in to a UPS product and uploading it. They should now be there as:
Please give install this and give it a try. Let me know if there are other new isotopes in the geometry that similarly aren't represented in the spline file and which cause problems.

I've installed genie_xsec v2_8_6a on /grid/fermiapp/products/larsoft for testing.

The following commands seemed to get further than previously:
ssh lbnegpvm01.fnal.gov source /grid/fermiapp/lbne/software/setup_lbne.sh setup lbnecode v04_08_01 -q debug:e7 setup genie_xsec v2_8_6a -q default # override previous setup w/ new version lar -c prodgenie_lbne35t.fcl
Previously this gave an error with a few minutes, now it has been running for over an hour. I presume it is now spending time in Geant4. I think I'll declare this as "resolved"
