Key Points

Intro Reading
  • Join us in tomorrow’s sessions for the rest of the lesson.

Intro to Particle Flow
  • Particle Flow connects information from all CMS subdetectors to form particle trajectories.

  • Particle Flow candidates are labelled as muons, electrons, photons, charged hadrons, and neutral hadrons.

  • When enabled, POET files can contain 4-vector and labelling information for all of the particle flow candidates.

Jet substructure
  • Grooming algorithms remove soft and wide angle radiation to bring a jet’s mass closer to that of the parent particle.

  • Substructure algorithms provide information about the number of high-momentum subjets or whether heavy flavor hadrons existed inside the jet.

  • The standard variables needed to tag W, Z, H boson or top quark jets in 2015 data are included in the POET.
