[Rivet] Jet constituents after smearing

[Deepak Kar]

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the suggestions. I did manage to create a fatjet with smeared
constituents now, with one caveat. I had to switch to using charged
particles only to use track efficiency, in order not to have 10 GeV pT cut
which other smeared objects have.

Something we can follow up in the May meeting, if and when that happens.

Cheers,
Deepak
