[Rivet] CMS inelastic cross-section Rivet routine

[Sercan Sen]

Hello Hendrik,

Many thanks. I added some control plots to debug the routine and understood the problem yesterday.

Below line in the routine should be corrected as "5e-6" since the \xi cut given in the paper is "5x10e-6". That's the bug. Therefore, I was observing a few mb less cross-section than given in the paper.

      if (xi < 5*10e-6) vetoEvent;

BTW, I've also done some cosmetic changes to your .plot and .info files.

Thanks for this which looks better now.

I think CMS routine should be sent by CMS, but this correction on the \xi cut is necessary also for ATLAS routine (ATLAS_2011_I894867).

Thanks again,
Sercan

Hi Sercan,

We would be happy if you can check the attached Rivet routine (CMS
inelastic cross-section paper, [...]

This is very similar to the ATLAS inelastic cross-section measurement
which is already validated by you.

I've changed the code such that it corresponds directly to the ATLAS
analysis as it is in svn, so that it is easier to compare. Except for
the n_charged histogram entries the analysis is identical to the ATLAS
analysis and my code still produces identical results to yours.

If your physics analysis is identical to ATLAS', then your Rivet code
looks fine (though I'd rather put my version into svn ...). Since I
don't know what kind of problems you observe, I'm afraid I can't help
you further than this.

BTW, I've also done some cosmetic changes to your .plot and .info files.

Cheers,

   Hendrik
