Detailed Description

Implementation of the e+e- Jade algorithm (plugin for fastjet v2.4 upwards)

JadePlugin is a plugin for fastjet (v2.4 upwards) It implements the JADE algorithm, which is an e+e- sequential recombination algorithm with interparticle distance

dij = 2 E_i E_j (1 - cos theta_ij)

or equivalently

yij = dij/E_{vis}^2

This corresponds to the distance measured used in

"Experimental Investigation of the Energy Dependence of the Strong Coupling Strength." JADE Collaboration (S. Bethke et al.) Phys.Lett.B213:235,1988

The JADE article carries out particle recombinations in the E-scheme (4-vector recombination), which is the default procedure for this plugin.

NOTE: other widely used schemes include E0, P, P0; however they also involve modifications to the distance measure. Be sure of what you're doing before running a JADE type algorithm.

To access the jets with a given ycut value (clustering stops once all yij > ycut), use

vector<PseudoJet> jets = cluster_sequence.exclusive_jets_ycut(ycut);

and related routines.

void fastjet::JadePlugin::run_clustering ( ClusterSequence ) const
virtual

given a ClusterSequence that has been filled up with initial particles, the following function should fill up the rest of the ClusterSequence, using the following member functions of ClusterSequence:

  • plugin_do_ij_recombination(...)
  • plugin_do_iB_recombination(...)

Implements fastjet::JetDefinition::Plugin.

virtual double fastjet::JadePlugin::R ( ) const
inlinevirtual

the plugin mechanism's standard way of accessing the jet radius.

This must be set to return something sensible, even if R does not make sense for this algorithm!
