class ElectronSelector : public xAH::Algorithm

This is the algorithm class that selects electrons according to user’s choice.

In a nutshell, this algorithm performs the following actions:

  • retrieves an xAOD::ElectronContainer from either TEvent or TStore

  • iterates over the input container, and if electron passes selection, copies it in a ConstDataVector(SG::VIEW_ELEMENTS) container. Otherwise, the electron is skipped

  • saves the view container to TStore, from where it can be retrieved by algorithms downstream via a name lookup

Public Members

bool m_useCutFlow = true
std::string m_inContainerName = ""

The name of the input container for this algorithm read from TEvent or TStore

std::string m_outContainerName = ""

The name of the nominal output container written by the algorithm to TStore

std::string m_inputAlgoSystNames = ""

The name of the vector containing the names of the systematically-varied containers from the upstream algorithm, which will be processed by this algorithm.

This vector is retrieved from the TStore. If left blank, it means there is no upstream algorithm which applies systematics. This is the case when processing straight from the original xAOD or DxAOD.

std::string m_outputAlgoSystNames = "ElectronSelector_Syst"

The name of the vector containing the names of the systematically-varied containers created by by this algorithm.

If m_systName is empty, the vector will contain only an empty string. When running on systematics, this is the string a downstream algorithm needs to process electrons.

bool m_decorateSelectedObjects = true

Adds a passSel decoration for objects that pass selection.

bool m_createSelectedContainer = false

Fill using a read-only container (SG::VIEW_ELEMENTS) to TStore

int m_nToProcess = -1

Number of objects to process, set n=-1 to look at all.

int m_pass_min = -1

Require event to have minimum number of objects passing selection.

int m_pass_max = -1

Require event to have maximum number of objects passing selection.

float m_pT_max = 1e8

[MeV] Require objects to have maximum transverse momentum threshold

float m_pT_min = 1e8

bool m_vetoCrack = true

Require objects to have \(|\eta|\) outside the crack region using caloCluster->eta()

float m_d0_max = 1e8

Require objects to have a maximum \(d_{0}\) [mm] (transverse impact parameter)

float m_d0sig_max = 1e8

Require objects to have a maximum \(d_{0}\) significance at BL

std::string m_singleElTrigChains = ""

A comma-separated string w/ alll the HLT single electron trigger chains for which you want to perform the matching. This is passed by the user as input in configuration If left empty (as it is by default), no trigger matching will be attempted at all.

std::string m_diElTrigChains = ""
