/// Implementation of the spherical version of the SISCone algorithm
/// (plugin for fastjet v2.1 upwards)
///
/// SISConeSphericalPlugin 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.
///
/// This is the version of SISCone using spherical coordinates. Compared
/// to the original cylindrical version:
///
///  - Particles are within a cone if their opening angle relative to the
///    centre of the cone is less than R
///
///  - The split-merge step uses the total energy in the protojet as the
///    ordering and overlap-measure variable
///
///  - The IR safety of the split-merge step is _not_ guaranteed for
///    events consisting of two back-to-back identical heavy particles
///    that decay. This is because of potential degeneracies in the
///    ordering for the split-merge step. 
///
///    For moderate values of R the problem should not be too severe
///    (or may even be absent for some values of the overlap
///    parameter), however the user should be aware of the issue.
///
///    The default split-merge scale may change at a later date to
///    resolve this issue.
///
///
/// 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 (E_overlap/min(E1,E2)) 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 Emin: protojets that are below this Emin
///    (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_max 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].
///
/// For documentation about the implementation, see the
/// siscone/doc/html/index.html file.
