#853 new How to

variable isolation cone for leptons

Description

Hello,

Is there any simple way of making the isolation cone radius for electrons or muons depend on the Pt of the candidate? I was thinking of something like

DeltaRMax = 0.4 (pt0/pt)

for some fixed pt0 cut. Can I implement this in the Isolation module or somewhere? Thank you for your help!

Bests,

Dario

Hello,

As you can see here:
https://github.com/delphes/delphes/blob/master/modules/Isolation.cc
The isolation is just tacking a double as input for the DeltaRMax variable.

It is of course possible to modify this module input to a formula.
An example of use of the formulas is for instance in the efficiency module:
https://github.com/delphes/delphes/blob/master/modules/Efficiency.cc#L74

If you need More help, don't hesitate to ask more explanations!

Cheers,
Alexandre
