[Rivet] missingEt variable in WFinder constructor

[Frank Siegert]

Hi Inês,

The missingET argument should apply a pT cut to the (in)visible
momentum in your inputfs (which should include the neutrino). So your
observation would definitely not be expected, and I don't currently
see a reason why this would go wrong. Could you post a code snippet of
how your WFinder is defined in your analysis, or attach the full
analysis code?

Cheers,
Frank
