[Rivet] MC_HJETS and MC_HINC using ZFinderHunt, Julia julia.hunt at student.kit.eduThu Mar 26 09:12:19 GMT 2015
Dear Rivet experts, I stumbled upon two lines concerning the use of the ZFinder in the two analyses MC_HJETS and MC_HINC. In these analyses, ZFinder is abused to get a Higgs boson. ZFinder.hh gives the following constructor: Rivet-2.2.0: 00036 ZFinder(const FinalState& inputfs, 00037 const Cut & cuts, 00038 PdgId pid, 00039 double minmass, double maxmass, 00040 double dRmax=0.1, 00041 ClusterPhotons clusterPhotons=CLUSTERNODECAY, 00042 PhotonTracking trackPhotons=NOTRACK, 00043 double masstarget=91.2*GeV); Rivet-1.9.0: 00037 ZFinder(const FinalState& inputfs, 00038 double etaMin, double etaMax, 00039 double pTmin, 00040 PdgId pid, 00041 double minmass, double maxmass, 00042 double dRmax, bool clusterPhotons, bool trackPhotons, 00043 double masstarget=91.2*GeV, bool useDecayPhotons=false); And the analyses don't seem to change the default masstarget: Rivet-2.2.0: MC_HINC.cc: 00025 ZFinder hfinder(FinalState(), cut, PID::TAU, 115*GeV, 125*GeV, 0.0, ZFinder::NOCLUSTER); MC_HJETS.cc: 00028 ZFinder hfinder(FinalState(), cut, PID::TAU, 115*GeV, 125*GeV, 0.0, ZFinder::NOCLUSTER); Rivet-1.9.0: MC_HINC.cc: 00026 ZFinder hfinder(fs, -3.5, 3.5, 25.0*GeV, TAU, 115.0*GeV, 125.0*GeV, 0.0, false, false); MC_HJETS.cc: 00027 ZFinder hfinder(fs, -3.5, 3.5, 25.0*GeV, TAU, 115.0*GeV, 125.0*GeV, 0.0, false, false); So it seems like the two analyses use the Z mass as a target when looking for a Higgs boson. Could there be any arguments against changing this masstarget parameter in the MC_HJETS and MC_HINC analyses? Best regards, Julia Hunt
