Hi Paul,

It would be great to have the real analysis in Rivet, since there are so
many modelling issues involved. Hopefully that analysis is a useful
starting point, but it is only intended to be an MC-only "toy"
implementation. A full implementation with the correct cuts, and ideally
with the reference data for distributions would need to come from the
group. We (Rivet) can help with implementation issues, of course, but
data extraction and detailed implementation really needs involvement
from people who were intimately involved.

Cheers,
Andy
