Efficiency Studies using the Tag and Probe Method: General references

Key Points

Introduction
  • The efficiency we are pursuing in this lesson is for tracker muons.

  • Tag and probe are labels for each muon from a dimuon resonance, which are used for the calculation of efficiencies.

  • Tag is a biased particle while probe are unbiased.

The Fitting Method
  • The dataset for this tutorial contemplates one Muon Id (Tracker Muon) and further contains the three kinematic variables (pT, η, φ)

  • Everything in this tutorial should be done using only the Efficiency.C file. The check out sections are only for you to see what’s going on under the hood

  • Documentation available here

Sideband subtraction method
  • There is a file in main/config/settings.cpp where you can edit some options.

  • You can edit the binnig in the main/classes/PassingFailing.h file.

  • The main code is located in main/macro.cpp

Results comparison
  • There is a unique .root file for efficiencies in the sideband method code.

  • There is a .root file for each efficiencies in fitting method code.
