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

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
◆ CDFMidPointPlugin() [1/2]
|
inline |
A CDFMidPointPlugin constructor that looks like the one provided by CDF.
Its arguments should have the following meaning:
- seed_threshold: minimum pt for a particle to be considered a seed of the iteration.
- cone_radius: standard meaning
- cone_area_fraction: stable-cones are searched for with a radius Rsearch = R * sqrt(cone_area_fraction), and then expanded to size R afterwards; note (hep-ph/0610012) that this introduces IR unsafety at NLO for X+2-jet observables (where X any hard object).
- max_pair_size: "midpoints" can be added between pairs of stable cones, triplets of stable cones, etc.; max_pair_size indicates the maximum number of stable cones that are assembled when adding midpoints.
- max_iterations: the maximum number of iterations to carry out when looking for a stable cone.
- overlap_threshold: if (overlapping_Et)/(Et_of_softer_protojet) < overlap_threshold, overlapping jets are split, otherwise they are merged.
sm_scale: a choice for the scale to be used in the split-merge step (both for ordering the momenta and quantifying the overlap); the three options are
. SM_pt: pt (default – source of small IR safety issue in purely hadronic events)
. SM_Et: Et (not boost invariant, reduces to mt at zero rapidity and to pt and infinite rapidity)
. SM_mt: transverse mass = sqrt(m^2+pt^2)

a compact constructor
NB: as of version 2.4, the default value for the overlap_threshold threshold has been removed, to avoid misleading people into using the value of 0.5 without thinking, which is known to have adverse effects in high-noise environments. A recommended value is 0.75.
