[Rivet] Rivet usabilityHendrik Hoeth hendrik.hoeth at cern.chTue May 12 14:01:13 BST 2009
Hi, People outside the Rivet developer circle are starting to use Rivet, and we should strive to make it a pleasant experience for them. But every time I write an analysis, I curse about having to use monsters like particle.momentum().pseudorapidity() and particle.momentum().azimuthalAngle() instead of eta() and phi(). Nobody outside our own little world will find this intuitive (quite frankly -- I don't either, and I have to look up the names each time). Are there any objections against introducing eta(), phi(), and theta() in the same way we alread have pT() as synonym for polarRadius()? Hendrik -- "You have to take the most direct road to go instead of your meeting, you have to, this one ended, leave at once the CERN domain." (imprint on the CERN visitor ID cards)
