Dear Andy, dear all,

I checked out the dev version and modified my stuff to get it working. 
(mainly ClusteredLepton was changed to DressedLepton).
Attached you can find my modified/added files that are running in this 
version.

There are 3 points which affect rivet in general (except the new 
projection), so I added this to the README but would like to discuss it now.
I added a p T sorting to dressedleptons, something that I couldn't find. 
If it is not my mistake and I missed it, I think
that is something usefull to add as other projections can be sorted.
I changed the containsb function in Jet.cc to include ghost tagging. Not 
sure how you like to get this into rivet.
There are various way of doing it and I am sure you have a prefered 
option. You can easily follow my modifications,
there are detailed in the file. Same for adding the ghost b hadrons in 
FastJets.cc. Maybe you also want to have the same
for c jets?

Not sure what I can check with Roman apart from the validation I already 
did (object level for 5000 events looking at jets, leptons, cuts  and 
the final plots I provided)?
Maybe it is useful to run, once everything is in, on a small sample and 
check it, but apart from that,
I am not sure I can do more. Let me know.

Regarding the jet gap fraction analysis. Officially (rivet page) it is 
clearly written that one needs dilepton events.
The problem with the projection was when running on at least one lepton 
events, like we have them usually in ttbar @ 7 TeV.
I assume Kiran et al. were using a home-made filter. In that case there 
is no problem.
Now if you are running on ttbar events without filter, the projection 
would select you ll events and you can compare it with the data we have.
But from a technical point everything is ok, the page clearly says 
dilepton.

Cheers, Alexander.
