Detailed Description

Class that helps perform 2-pronged boosted tagging using the "mass-drop" technique (with asymmetry cut) introduced by Jonathan Butterworth, Adam Davison, Mathieu Rubin and Gavin Salam in arXiv:0802.2470 in the context of a boosted Higgs search.

The tagger proceeds as follows:

0. start from a jet obtained from with the Cambridge/Aachen algorithm

  1. undo the last step of the clustering step j -> j1 + j2 (label them such as j1 is the most massive).
  2. if there is a mass drop, i.e. m_j1/m_j < mu_cut, and the splitting is sufficiently symmetric, ${\rm min}(p_{tj1}^2,p_{tj2}^2)\Delta R_{j1,j2}^2 > y_{\rm cut} m_j^2$, keep j as the result of the tagger (with j1 and j2 its 2 subjets)
  3. otherwise, redefine j to be equal to j1 and return to step 1.

Note that in the original proposal, j1 and j2 are both required to be b-tagged and a filter (with Rfilt=min(0.3,Rbb/2) and n_filt=3) is also applied to j to obtain the final "Higgs candidate". See the example 12 - boosted Higgs tagging for details.
