POWHEG configuration for jet measurements. Based on config from Hadi Hassan, which was used for many Run 2 measurements.
using CT18nlo PDFs
oversample jets up to ~120 GeV by setting bornsuppfact=120 - this should essentially sample hard scattering processes with equal probability (flat distribution) up to ~120 GeV, with the true sampling above that. The saved weights reflect this different sampling.

Ciao @jaimenorman do you confirm that the executable you want to use is pwhg_main_hvq? It's the default value, just want to make sure that it's the one you need.

Hi @jackal1-66 , thanks for spotting this! Indeed we want the pwhg_main_dijet process, I updated the ini file to select this process passing the correct setting to getGeneratorJEPythia8POWHEG
Can you confirm that this is OK, and also confirm that nothing is required for the 2nd option (pythia8conf) ?

Ciao @jaimenorman , I confirm you need nothing as second parameter (everything is taken care of automatically). We'll wait for the CI and then check if there are issues.

Ciao @jaimenorman, unfortunately there's a problem with your PR:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'LHAPDF::ReadError'
  what():  Info file not found for PDF set 'CT18NLO'

This is what I get when running our standalone POWHEG generator, without even entering on our external generator.
This is most likely why the CI fails.
