Obviously it's something that is decided by the experiment which you get your measurement from, so not something that *we* (i.e. Rivet) have to debate ;) But since I have the convenor of that measurement at hand, I might as well ask: What's the reason for not using all neutrinos in your particle level Etmiss definition? Is it convenience for parton level calculators (in which case I'd say publish both types) or is there any reason why a measurement that uses Etmiss from the final state in a way as close to the measurement as possible wouldn't be good? Cheers, Frank
