Aod ntuple

This page contains basic prescriptions to get physics objects from the AOD and the AOD-based Root ntuple (from now on defined as Woutuple).

Some comments on quality selection cuts will be added as work progresses.

Monte Carlo Truth Particles

The ntuples contain the full MC truth information ("truth") that is contained in the AOD. For the T1 (ttbar) sample there is an additional block ("hardtruth") with the hard scatter information remade from the ESD by Eric Cogneras. In the Analysis Skeleton there is an example where some of the information is printed to the screen.

For each truth_particle the 4-vector, PDG code, status code and decay tree navigation information: references to decay products of any given truth particle are stored in tidx_dg0_truth through tidx_dg9_truth, which contain the indices of the decay products in the truth ntuple block. The actual number of daughters for a given decay is specified by numdg_truth. tidx_moth_truth contains the index of the mother particle in the truth ntuple block. If a given link does not exists (e.g. a particle has no mother), then the link index value is set to -1. For convenience, direct 'jump links' exist to the top quark and anti-top quark in the event (if present) in tidx_top_truth and tidx_antitop_truth. Direct jump links to the decay producs of the top (a W and a b quark) are also stored in tidx_Wplus_truth, tidx_Wminus_truth, tidx_b_truth and tidx_antib_truth

Note: Due to some problems with the decoding of the HERWIG truth block it is not always very clear how to extract the kinematics from the top, the W and the b correctly. Please check this information before you use it and, if necessary, get the truth from these particles yourself from the full block.

There are 3 types of quality cuts you can perform on the electron candidates:

1. Cuts based on the isEM flag
2. Cuts based on likelihood
3. Cuts based on NeuralNet output

1. The isEM flag uses both calorimeter and tracking information in addition to TRT information. The flag is a bit field which marks whether the candidate passed or not some safety checks.

The bit field marks the following checks:

  Cluster based egamma
  ClusterEtaRange        =  0,
  ClusterHadronicLeakage =  1,
  ClusterMiddleSampling  =  2,
  ClusterFirstSampling   =  3,
  Track based egamma
  TrackEtaRange          =  8,
  TrackHitsA0            =  9,
  TrackMatchAndEoP       = 10,
  TrackTRT               = 11

In 9.0.4 there is a problem with TRT simulation so one has to mask TRT bit to recover the lost efficiency.

To get the flag in your AOD analysis you should use:

(*elec)->isEM()

To mask the TRT bits you should use: (*elec)->isEM()&0x7FF==0

If you use isEM then you will select electrons with an overall efficiency of about 80% in the barrel but much lower in the crack and endcap.

2. The likelihood ratio is constructed using the following variables: energy in different calorimeter samplings, shower shapes in both eta and phi and E/P ration. No TRT information is used here. You need to access two variables called emweight and pionweight then you can construct the likelihood ratio, defined by: emweight/(emweight+pionweight).

In AOD, you use the following code:

ElecEMWeight = elec*->parameter(ElectronParameters::emWeight); ElecPiWeight = elec*->parameter(ElectronParameters::pionWeight);

Then form the variable: X = ElecEMWeight/(ElecEMWeight+ElecPiWeight);

Requiring X > 0.6 will give you more than 90% efficiency for electrons.

3. The NeuralNet variable uses as inputs the same variables used for likelihood. To use it in AOD you should proceed as follow:

ElecepiNN = elec*->parameter(ElectronParameters::epiNN);

Requiring ElecepiNN > 0.6 will give you about 90% eff for electrons.

However, you should be aware that the NN was trained in full eta range while the likelihood was computed in 3 bins in eta: barrel, crack and endcap. So I would suggest to use likelihood for now.

To require an isolated electron, you have to cut on the energy deposited in the cone around the electron cluster. ATLFAST for example requires Et<10 GeV in a cone of dR=0.2. You can simulate the ATLFAST cut by requiring etcone20<10.*GeV

temporary: The muons have highPt and lowPt algorithms. The overlap is removed, but you may want to only use the highPt ones. The chi2() method is always 0 in 10.0.1, so you will have to access the CombinedMuon through something like

 const Rec::TrackParticle* cbndMuon = (*muonItr)->get_CombinedMuonTrackParticle();
 if( cbndMuon ) {
   double chi2 = cbndMuon->fitQuality()->chiSquared();
   int ndof =  cbndMuon->fitQuality()->numberDoF();
   if( ndof > 0 ) chi2 = chi2/ndof;
   return chi2;
 }

Tau

Jet

There are three collections of jets which are all stored in the ntuple. The ntuple variable algo_jet tells you which jet clustering algorithm created the jet. Be sure to cut on algo_jet when you loop over the jets, otherwise you'll see many jets 3 times.

• KtTowerParticleJets (Kt algorithm with parameter D=1, algo_jet=0)
• Cone4TowerParticleJets (Cone algorithm with R=0.4, algo_jet=1)
• ConeTowerParticleJets (Cone algorithm with R=0.7, algo_jet=2)

All three alogrithms have a common data structure.

You can get the energy contributions to a jet from different calorimeter samplings. Each calorimeter (Barrel and Endcap) has up to 4 samplings:

PreSamplerB, EMB1, EMB2, EMB3,    //   LAr barrel
PreSamplerE, EME1, EME2, EME3,    //   LAr EM endcap  
HEC0, HEC1, HEC2, HEC3,           //   Hadronic end cap cal. 
TileBar0, TileBar1, TileBar2,     //   Tile barrel 
TileGap1, TileGap2, TileGap3,     //   Tile gap (ITC & scint) 
TileExt0, TileExt1, TileExt2,     //   Tile extended barrel 
FCAL0, FCAL1, FCAL2,              //   Forward EM endcap 

Overlapping jets and fake jets: A trick used in CDF is to neglect jets which are close to an Electron (typically dR<0.7). The same trick should be applied for Photons and Taus.

Truth Jets

Truth jets are formed by running the jet reconstruction algorithm on final Truth particles from the simulation. Jets created this way do not contain the effects of detector energy resolution and other experimental issues. The Woutuple contains truth jets generated with the same three jet algorithms as for reconstruction level jets (Cone,Cone4 and Kt). The author of each jet in the trujet block can be determined from the algo_trujet integer, which has the same meaning as the algo_jet variable in the reco-level jet block

BJet

The default b-tagging algorithm is run on cone jets with R=0.7

It is possible to run a b-tagging refit completely on AOD. Andi Wildauer has done a lot of work on this and documented it on:

BTagging refit on AOD

For the top group this was done by Eric (T1 sample only) which is why for the T1 sample there is also a block containing the btag information for R=0.4 jets. The user can choose this by setting the bjet_algo to 1 in the Analysis Skeleton.

Missing Et

There are seven(!) Missing Et objects available in AOD. The Woutuple contains all of them

Missing Et objects available in AOD

Type	AOD Container Name	Include File	Comment
Missing Et	MET_Base	MissingEtCalo.h	uncalibrated ETMiss

Missing Et Truth	MET_Truth	MissingEtTruth.h	ETMiss from Truth

Missing Et Final	MET_Final		ETMiss for Physics analysis : calib+muons+cryostat correction
Missing Et Cryostat correction	MET_Cryo		Cryostat term
Missing Et Topological Clusters	MET_Topo		ETMiss from Topological Jet Clusters

The calibration of the MET is obtained by using a H1 algorithm. This algorithm corrects the cell energy as a function of the energy density in the cell: $weight={\frac {\ln \left(|E_{cell}/V|\right)}{\ln(2)}}+26$

The weights are stored in a lookup table here: Code for H1 calibration
