44 /// Implementation of the MidPoint algorithm from CDF (plugin for
45 /// fastjet-v2.1 upwards)
46 ///
47 /// A plugin for fastjet-v2.1 that provides an interface to the CDF
48 /// midpoint algorithm
49 ///
50 /// CDFMidPointPlugin is a plugin for fastjet (v2.1 upwards) that
51 /// provides an interface to the CDF version of Run-II iterative cone
52 /// algorithm with midpoint seeds (also known as the Iterative Legacy
53 /// Cone Algorithm, ILCA).
54 ///
55 /// The CDF code has been taken from Joey Huston's webpage
56 /// http://www.pa.msu.edu/~huston/Les_Houches_2005/Les_Houches_SM.html
57 ///
58 /// Note that the CDF midpoint code contains options that go beyond
59 /// those described in the Tevatron run-II document (hep-ex/0005012),
60 /// notably search-cones, as described in hep-ph/0111434, and
61 /// midpoints bewteen multiplets of stable cones.
62 ///
63 /// Additionally, the version of the CDF midpoint code distributed
64 /// here has been modified by the FastJet authors, so as to allow one
65 /// to choose the scale used in the split-merge step.

75  /// A CDFMidPointPlugin constructor that looks like the one provided
76  /// by CDF. Its arguments should have the following meaning:
77  ///
78  /// - seed_threshold: minimum pt for a particle to be considered
79  /// a seed of the iteration.
80  ///
81  /// - cone_radius: standard meaning
82  ///
83  /// - cone_area_fraction: stable-cones are searched for with a
84  /// radius Rsearch = R * sqrt(cone_area_fraction), and then
85  /// expanded to size R afterwards; note (hep-ph/0610012) that this
86  /// introduces IR unsafety at NLO for X+2-jet observables (where X
87  /// any hard object).
88  ///
89  /// - max_pair_size: "midpoints" can be added between pairs of
90  /// stable cones, triplets of stable cones, etc.; max_pair_size
91  /// indicates the maximum number of stable cones that are
92  /// assembled when adding midpoints.
93  ///
94  /// - max_iterations: the maximum number of iterations to carry out
95  /// when looking for a stable cone.
96  ///
97  /// - overlap_threshold: if
98  /// (overlapping_Et)/(Et_of_softer_protojet) < overlap_threshold,
99  /// overlapping jets are split, otherwise they are merged.
100  ///
101  /// - sm_scale: a choice for the scale to be used in the split-merge
102  /// step (both for ordering the momenta and quantifying the
103  /// overlap); the three options are
104  ///
105  /// . SM_pt: pt (default -- source of small IR safety issue in purely
106  /// hadronic events)
107  ///
108  /// . SM_Et: Et (not boost invariant, reduces to mt at zero rapidity and
109  /// to pt and infinite rapidity)
110  ///
111  /// . SM_mt: transverse mass = sqrt(m^2+pt^2)
