42/// CDFMidPointPlugin is a plugin for fastjet (v2.1 upwards) that
43/// provides an interface to the CDF version of Run-II iterative cone
44/// algorithm with midpoint seeds (also known as the Iterative Legacy
45/// Cone Algorithm, ILCA).
46///
47/// The CDF code has been taken from Joey Huston's webpage
48/// http://www.pa.msu.edu/~huston/Les_Houches_2005/Les_Houches_SM.html
49///
50/// Note that the CDF midpoint code contains options that go beyond
51/// those described in the Tevatron run-II document (hep-ex/0005012),
52/// notably search-cones, as described in hep-ph/0111434, and
53/// midpoints bewteen multiplets of stable cones.
54///
55/// Additionally, the version of the CDF midpoint code distributed
56/// here has been modified by the FastJet authors, so as to allow one
57/// to choose the scale used in the split-merge step.
58//

67 /// A CDFMidPointPlugin constructor that looks like the one provided
68 /// by CDF. Its arguments should have the following meaning:
69 ///
70 /// - seed_threshold: minimum pt for a particle to be considered
71 /// a seed of the iteration.
72 ///
73 /// - cone_radius: standard meaning
74 ///
75 /// - cone_area_fraction: stable-cones are searched for with a
76 /// radius Rsearch = R * sqrt(cone_area_fraction), and then
77 /// expanded to size R afterwards; note (hep-ph/0610012) that this
78 /// introduces IR unsafety at NLO for X+2-jet observables (where X
79 /// any hard object).
80 ///
81 /// - max_pair_size: "midpoints" can be added between pairs of
82 /// stable cones, triplets of stable cones, etc.; max_pair_size
83 /// indicates the maximum number of stable cones that are
84 /// assembled when adding midpoints.
85 ///
86 /// - max_iterations: the maximum number of iterations to carry out
87 /// when looking for a stable cone.
88 ///
89 /// - overlap_threshold: if
90 /// (overlapping_Et)/(Et_of_softer_protojet) < overlap_threshold,
91 /// overlapping jets are split, otherwise they are merged.
92 ///
93 /// - sm_scale: a choice for the scale to be used in the split-merge
94 /// step (both for ordering the momenta and quantifying the
95 /// overlap); the three options are
96 ///
97 /// . SM_pt: pt (default -- source of small IR safety issue in purely
98 /// hadronic events)
99 ///
100 /// . SM_Et: Et (not boost invariant, reduces to mt at zero rapidity and
101 /// to pt and infinite rapidity)
102 ///
103 /// . SM_mt: transverse mass = sqrt(m^2+pt^2)
