[Rivet] New analysis: Underlying event characteristics - ATLAS_2012_I1125575

[Kiran Daniel Joshi]

Hi Hendrik,

- Is it intentional that you discard the uncertainties when you manually
 scale your profile plots?
No. Apologies, that was a mistake.

- Is it intentional that deleting the Profiles causes a segfault in the
 finalize step?
Of course not.

- Didn't the segfault make you think when you tested the analysis (you
 did test the analysis, didn't you?)?
Yes. I tested it inside our ATLAS software framework many times and have never seen any segfaults.
(E.g. There are some validation plots here: http://www.hep.manchester.ac.uk/u/kiran/Physics/Rivet/ATLAS_2012_I1125575/ATLAS_2012_I1125575/index.html)

Can you please point me to an example, or manual entry, showing the recommended way of deleting an unwanted AIDA object, so that it doesn't appear in the output .aida file and doesn't cause a segfault?

Cheers,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,

I've got three brief questions about your analysis code:

- Is it intentional that you discard the uncertainties when you manually
 scale your profile plots?

- Is it intentional that deleting the Profiles causes a segfault in the
 finalize step?

- Didn't the segfault make you think when you tested the analysis (you
 did test the analysis, didn't you?)?

Cheers,
