Detailed Description

Implementation of the SISCone algorithm (plugin for fastjet v2.1 upwards)

SISConePlugin is a plugin for fastjet (v2.1 upwards) that provides an interface to the seedless infrared safe cone jet finder by Gregory Soyez and Gavin Salam.

SISCone uses geometrical techniques to exhaustively consider all possible distinct cones. It then finds out which ones are stable and sends the result to the Tevatron Run-II type split-merge procedure for overlapping cones.

Four parameters govern the "physics" of the algorithm:

the cone_radius (this should be self-explanatory!)
the overlap_threshold is the parameter which dictates how much two jets must overlap (pt_overlap/min(pt1,pt2)) if they are to be merged
Not all particles are in stable cones in the first round of searching for stable cones; one can therefore optionally have the the jet finder carry out additional passes of searching for stable cones among particles that were in no stable cone in previous passes — the maximum number of passes carried out is n_pass_max. If this is zero then additional passes are carried out until no new stable cones are found.
Protojet ptmin: protojets that are below this ptmin (default = 0) are discarded before each iteration of the split-merge loop.

One parameter governs some internal algorithmic shortcuts:

if "caching" is turned on then the last event clustered by siscone is stored – if the current event is identical and the cone_radius and n_pass_mass are identical, then the only part of the clustering that needs to be rerun is the split-merge part, leading to significant speed gains; there is a small (O(N) storage and speed) penalty for caching, so it should be kept off (default) if only a single overlap_threshold is used.

The final jets can be accessed by requestion the inclusive_jets(...) from the ClusterSequence object. Note that these PseudoJets have their user_index() set to the index of the pass in which they were found (first pass = 0). NB: This does not currently work for jets that consist of a single particle.

For further information on the details of the algorithm see the SISCone paper, arXiv:0704.0292 [JHEP 0705:086,2007].

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum fastjet::SISConePlugin::SplitMergeScale

enum for the different split-merge scale choices; Note that order must be the same as in siscone

Enumerator
SM_pt	transverse momentum (E-scheme), IR unsafe
SM_Et	transverse energy (E-scheme), not long. boost invariant original run-II choice [may not be implemented]
SM_mt	transverse mass (E-scheme), IR safe except in decays of two identical narrow heavy particles
SM_pttilde	pt-scheme pt = {i in jet} \|p_{ti}\|, should be IR safe in all cases

inline

Main constructor for the SISCone Plugin class.

Note: wrt version prior to 2.4 this constructor differs in that a the default value has been removed for overlap_threshold. The former has been removed because the old default of 0.5 was found to be unsuitable in high-noise environments; so the user should now explicitly think about the value for this – we recommend 0.75.
