[Rivet] Presentation of Event Shapes results

[Sergo Jindariani]

Dear Peter,

  I apologize for delay in my reply.  The data points for individual  
thrust and thrust minor distributions are not included in our PRD   
publication, but
are public in the sense that they were approved by CDF collaboration.  
In the publication we only provide data points for the weighted  
difference of
thrust and thrust minor at given leading jet energy requirement, i.e.:
D=alpha<tau>+beta<T_min>

Currently, data points are saved in the form of ROOT ntuples which I  
could certainly provide.  I'm not familiar with HEPDATA format, however
if there are easy conversion tools , I would be happy to try them.

Regards,
  -Sergo
