BTagging

determines origin of jet, applies b-tagging efficiency (miss identification rate) formulas and sets b-tagging flags

• input:
  • PartonInputArray
  • JetInputArray

• output:
  • OutputArray

• parameters:
  • DeltaR
  • PartonPTMin
  • PartonEtaMax
  • EfficiencyFormula - efficiency (miss identification rate) specified for a PDG code as a function of transverse momentum and pseudo-rapidity
  • BitNumber (default 0)

Starting from version 3.0.7 it is possible to test several (up to 32) b-tagging working points per jet. The BTag variable in the Jet class can store up to 32 bits. If the user specifies BitNumber = 0 in the BTagging module, that particular bit will be stored in the first position. If BitNumber = 1, it will be in the second position, etc ...

In order to check whether a jet has passed the b-tagging criterium defined by the BitNumber = i, just do:

Bool_t BtagOk = ( jet->BTag & (1 << i) );

Isolation

sums transverse momenta of isolation objects (tracks, calorimeter towers, etc) within a DeltaRMax cone around a candidate, calculates fraction of this sum to the candidate's transverse momentum and outputs candidates that have the transverse momenta fraction less than PTRatioMax.

• input:
  • CandidateInputArray
