+in the final state: in that case, the pT of the reconstructed particles
+may not be balanced and one cannot ignore the effects from ISR. The
+phase-space integration is done under the assumption that, point-by-point
+in the phase-space, the parton-level final state has a pT balancing
+pT(ISR), with pT(ISR) set to minus the transverse momentum of the
+reconstructed objects in the LHCO file. 
+isr=1: point by point in the phase-space,  the parton-level final state has a pT
+balancing pT(ISR), with pT(ISR) set to the experimental value read from
+the lhco file [as -pT(visible)-pT(missing)]
+isr=2: same as isr=1, except that the value of the weight is translated into
+a frame where the hard system has no pT.
+isr=3: only relevant if all final state ME particle are reconstructed.
+   pT of ISR is assumed to be unconstrained (can be anything)
+   -> the dimension of the phase-space integration is augmented by 2,
+   since we also integrate over the pT of the parton-level final state.  ||
