[Rivet] normalising histogramsEmily Nurse nurse at fnal.govSun Apr 5 14:08:27 BST 2009
Dear Rivet routine writers, I have changed the vetoEvent() functionality for routines, such that it no longer affects the sumOfWeights() function. This function now sums the weights of all events from the generator, not just those that pass certain cuts. This is because many analyses were normalising histograms using sumOfWeights() but assuming that it really did sum all the weights, more information is here: http://projects.hepforge.org/rivet/trac/ticket/250 Can everyone check that their routines are now doing the correct thing when normalising the histograms? Its quite possible that some are still not normalising correctly. Thanks, Emily.
