Rivet implementation

The code is implemented as an additional rivet projection called "BOOSTFastJets", to see how to use it please have a look at the header (in ./include) and the MC_GENSTUDY_JET*.cc analysis files.

Obtaining and running

  1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/rkogler/Boost13Public.git

  2. Setup the rivet installation you want to use with (in the correct directory):

source rivetenv.sh

  1. Patch FastJets to include the particles() method, recompile FastJets:

MY_RIVET=/path/to/your/rivet

THIS_DIR=$(pwd)

patch $MY_RIVET/include/Rivet/Projections/FastJets.hh < $THIS_DIR/BOOSTFastJets.patch

cd $MY_RIVET && make -j 4 && make install

  1. While in this directory, run:

make && make install **

  1. Have fun looking at substructure histograms!

** If you need super user privileges to do a make install you'll have to sudo this; if your super user environment doesn't have the correct rivet paths set up (rivet-config: command not found) you'll have to do things manually:

LIBDIR=$(rivet-config --libdir)

sudo cp -f libBOOSTFastJets.so $LIBDIR

Building an analysis and linking our library

The makefile should provide an example of how to build an analysis that uses code in the BOOSTFastJets projection. If you want to do this yourself, keep in mind that you will have to explicitly link to the library when using rivet-buildplugin (in other words, if you decide you don't want to use our makefile ;) ):

rivet-buildplugin RivetMYPLUGIN.so MYPLUGIN.cc -lBOOSTFastJets

If you don't do this you'll still be able to build the analysis, but Rivet won't be able to access any functions from BOOSTFastJets you use, and will crash when it attempts to do so. The error message usually looks something like:

python: symbol lookup error: bunch of crap

Physics Motivation

The big picture aim of this study is to provide an accurate picture of how different Monte Carlo generators handle the creation of jets, and in particular the substructure of jets.

Implemented code

  • Jet Charge
  • Jet Dipolarity
  • Jet Pull
  • N-subjettiness (w/ minimisation algorithm)
  • Angular Correlation/Structure Functions
  • Grooming (wrapper of FastJet stuff)

Implemented as an example in the SUBSTRUCTURE analysis:

  • Average ASF (note this not completely validated, don't rely on it without first making sure you're happy with it!)
