Hi Andy,

Roman dumped a list of unvalidated/preliminary ATLAS Rivet routines in
my inbox, saying you had asked him once to track them down and to check
whether they have been superseded by more recent results, except he
never got round to doing it...?

That would be these:

https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/viewauth/AtlasProtected/RivetMCValidation#Unvalidated_ATLAS_Analyses_withi

Couple of questions:

-) There are some with the old spire number in the name, I've tracked
down the corresponding inspire number, in case these should be renamed
at some point?

-) One analysis for a conference result has been superseded by the same
analysis that uses the full 2011 dataset -- but there are routines for
both analyses in Rivet, is that necessary? I suppose if I validate my MC
against the full dataset, there is no point validating it against a
subset of the data as well?

-) There are quite a few routines for results that have been superseded
by more complete papers for which there are no routines though (mostly
SUSY searches). What is the plan for those?

There are a few that seem to have no follow-up analyses. I could try
validating them, but that's probably going to be quite hard after all
this time.

Cheers,
Chris
