[Rivet] Rivet 1.2.1 patch releaseAndy Buckley andy.buckley at ed.ac.ukTue Mar 23 23:54:36 GMT 2010
Following on from the recent release of Rivet 1.2.0, we announce the release of a patch release, version 1.2.1, which fixes a significant bug in the FastJet projection whereby the minimum pT parameter was not being properly passed to the jet algorithm. Jet-specific analyses may be affected. Thanks to Frank Siegert for finding and fixing this bug. Rivet 1.2.1 also contains a new "MissingMomentum" projection, to be used for calculating missing (transverse) energy in place of the previous and confusing TotalVisibleMomentum projection which made no effort to exclude invisible particles. A bug in the MC_SUSY analysis, with exactly this flaw, has also been fixed. Rivet 1.2.1 is recommended for immediate use as a replacement for 1.2.0, and can be downloaded as usual from the http://projects.hepforge.org/rivet/ Web page. Apologies for the short time between these releases, but this was a problem that we couldn't leave "in the wild" for very long! Best wishes, Andy -- Dr Andy Buckley SUPA Advanced Research Fellow Particle Physics Experiment Group, University of Edinburgh
