Hi Renee,
Yes I’m also surprised to see that the partonic cross-section from PYTHIA 8 is close to PYTHIA 6 at low partonic p_T, but larger at high partonic p_T. The difference could almost make up the difference in the jet cross-section at high p_T. I looked
at the Pythia 8.2 webpage, and it says the default factorization and normalization scales are different between PYTHIA 8 and PYTHIA 6. I tried to set the scales to match PYTHIA 6 but the PYTHIA 8 cross-section remain unchanged.

3 :
the arithmetic mean of the squared transverse masses of the two outgoing particles, i.e. (mT_3^2 + mT_4^2) / 2 = pT^2 + 0.5 * (m_3^2 + m_4^2).
Useful for comparisons with PYTHIA 6, where this is the default. mode

I’m trying to test this.

Hi Zilong,
This is really interesting. Clearly we need to tune away these shape changes. What I am really surprised by is the huge shift in absolute Xsec from PYTHIA 6->8. I wonder if this is also due to a sqrt(s) scaling?
Thanks,Renee

Hi guys,_______________________________________________
I used the PYTHIA8.2.35 default tune installed under StRoot (first link below) to generate the inclusive jet cross-section and compared it to the run12 pp510 GeV preliminary results. You can find my results at the second link below. The PYTHIA8 seems to under-predicate the measured cross-section at low jet p_T, but over-estimate it at high jet p_T.
Thanks,Zilong
