[Rivet] PartonicTops with em showerMarkus Seidel markus.seidel at cern.chThu Apr 20 10:04:07 BST 2017
Dear Rivet authors, as you know PartonicTops projection is important for many CMS top analyses at 8 TeV :s People stumbled upon the following problem: If there is a photon->l+l- within the shower, the top mother is flagged as leptonic. Maybe we can replace > const bool prompt_e/mu = any(...); by > const bool prompt_e/mu = (count(...) % 2); and > if (prompt_e/mu && (...)) return true; by > if (prompt_e/mu && !prompt_mu/e && (...)) return true; For the hadronic part there needs to be an `xor` between `prompt_e` and `prompt_mu` at least... If you prefer to not mess around with the logic, we may just require that the lepton does not have any photon mother... > ... && !p.hasAncestor(PID::PHOTON) It seems to be hopeless to account for all possibilities of a full weak shower but at least the case of em shower is very common (at least in Pythia 8?). Cheers, Markus
