Detailed Description

The CaloNuclei charge cut.

This cut uses the CaloNuclei library to cut events depending on particle's charge value.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CaloNucleiZCut::CaloNucleiZCut	(	const char *	cutName,
		unsigned int	Z,
		float	lowerLimit,
		float	upperLimit,
		unsigned int	method = CALONUCLEIZ_SIEGEN
	)			[inline]

Constructor.

The charge to look for is passed to the CaloNucleiZCut object as Z. For each charge, there is an associated distribution of events, with mean Zmean and standard deviation sigmaZ. These values will be used to check the events.

Parameters:

	cutName	The cut's name.
	Z	The charge value.
	lowerLimit	The lower bound (in units of sigma_Z) of the desired charge range, defined as Zmean - lowerBound*sigmaZ.
	upperLimit	The upper bound (in units of sigma_Z) of the desired charge range, defined as Zmean + upperBound*sigmaZ.
	method	The method to use to measure the particle's charge (see CaloNucleiZ_method).

Returns:

The CaloNucleiZ check.

The routine selects events whose value of Zmean obtained from the CaloNuclei Class is in the range [Zmean - sigma*lowerBound, Zmean + sigma*upperBound]. Zmean and sigma are defined respectively as the mean and the standard deviation of the charge distributions obtained using CaloNuclei. In current implementation, means are taken to be equal to the charge value (Zmean = Z) and sigmas are:

Z | sigma ----------- 1 | 0.11 2 | 0.14 3 | 0.21 4 | 0.28 5 | 0.28 6 | 0.31 7 | 0.32 8 | 0.32

independent of the method used.

Parameters:

event

The event to analyze.

Implements PamCut.
