Ok, never came to look for it in PARI. I normally used XSEC in pythia.

Well there is no method for GetXSEC in root.

Well problem is that in none of these examples is an array read back from the tree. Yes there are examples that store it, I haven't found one where an array is restored from tree.

And also there is still the open question on how do I save just a single Float_t variable (like the cross section) to the root file for later analysis. I'd like something like this:

TFile f("file.root","RECREATE")
Float_t xsec = 12.3;
xsec.Write()
or:
f.Write(xsec)

or any other way to write the variable to the root file.
