Detailed Description

Class that helps perform boosted top tagging using the "Johns Hopkins" method from arXiv:0806.0848 (Kaplan, Rehermann, Schwartz and Tweedie)

The tagger proceeds as follows:

start from a jet J obtained with the Cambridge/Aachen algorithm
undo the last iteration j -> j_1,j_2 (with pt_1>pt_2) until the two subjets satisfy pt_1 > delta_p pt_J (with pt_J the pt of the original jet) and |y_1 - y_2| + |phi_1 - phi_2| > delta_r.
if one of these criteria is not satisfied, carry on the procedure with j_1 (discarding j_2)
for each of the subjets found, repeat the procedure. If some new substructure is found, keep these 2 new subjets, otherwise keep the original subjet (found during the first iteration)
at this stage, one has at most 4 subjets. If one has less than 3, the tagger has failed.
reconstruct the W from the 2 subjets with a mass closest to the W mass
impose that the W helicity angle be less than a threshold cos_theta_W_max.

Input conditions

the original jet must have an associated (and valid) ClusterSequence
the tagger is designed to work with jets formed by the Cambridge/Aachen (C/A) algorithm; if a non-C/A jet is passed to the tagger, a warning will be issued

Example

A JHTopTagger can be used as follows:

double delta_p = 0.10; // subjets must carry at least this fraction of the original jet's p_t
double delta_r = 0.19; // subjets must be separated by at least this Manhattan distance
double cos_theta_W_max = 0.7; // the maximal allowed value of the W helicity angle
JHTopTagger top_tagger(delta_p, delta_r, cos_theta_W_max);
// indicate the acceptable range of top, W masses (default: no limits)
top_tagger.set_top_selector(SelectorMassRange(150,200));
top_tagger.set_W_selector  (SelectorMassRange( 65, 95));
// now try and tag a jet
PseudoJet top_candidate = top_tagger(jet);  // jet should come from a Cambridge/Aachen clustering
if (top_candidate != 0) { // successful tagging
  double top_mass = top_candidate.m();
  double W_mass   = top_candidate.structure_of<JHTopTagger>().W().m();
}

The full set of information available from the structure_of<JHTopTagger>() call is

PseudoJet W() : the W subjet of the top candidate
PseudoJet non_W(): non-W subjet(s) of the top candidate (i.e. the b)
double cos_theta_W(): the W helicity angle
PseudoJet W1(): the harder of the two prongs of the W
PseudoJet W2(): the softer of the two prongs of the W

The structure of the top_candidate can also be accessed through its pieces() function:

top_candidate.pieces()[0]: W
top_candidate.pieces()[1]: non_W

The W itself has two pieces (corresponding to W1, W2).

The existence of the first two of the structural calls (W(), non_W()) and the fact that the top is made of two pieces (W, non_W) are features that should be common to all taggers derived from TopTaggerBase.

See also 13 - boosted top tagging for a full usage example.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ JHTopTagger()

fastjet::JHTopTagger::JHTopTagger	(	const double	delta_p = `0.10`,

	)

inline

default ctor The parameters are the following:

Parameters

delta_p	fractional pt cut imposed on the subjets (computed as a fraction of the original jet)
delta_r	minimal distance between 2 subjets (computed as \|y1-y2\|+\|phi1-phi2\|)
cos_theta_W_max	the maximal value for the polarisation angle of the W
mW	the W mass

The default values of all these parameters are taken from arXiv:0806:0848
