Detailed Description

comparison of jets for split–merge ordering

◆ split_merge_scale

Esplit_merge_scale siscone::Csplit_merge_ptcomparison::split_merge_scale

the following parameter controls the variable we're using for the split-merge process i.e.

the variable we use for

  1. ordering jet candidates;
  2. computing the overlap fraction of two candidates. The default value uses pttile (p-scheme pt). Other alternatives are pt, mt=sqrt(pt^2+m^2)=sqrt(E^2-pz^2) or Et. NOTE: Modifying the default choice can have nasty effects:

using pt leads to some IR unsafety when we have two jets, e.g. back-to-back, with the same pt. In that case, their ordering in pt is random and can be affected by the addition of a soft particle. Hence, we highly recommand to keep this to the default value i.e. to use pt only for the purpose of investigating the IR issue

  • using Et is safe but does not respect boost invariance
  • using mt solves the IR unsafety issues with the pt variable for QCD jets but the IR unsafety remains for nack-to-back jets of unstable narrow-width particles (e.g. Higgs). Therefore, keeping the default value is strongly advised.
