LCFIPlus contains the following algorithms:

  • PrimaryVertexFinder - searches for the primary vertex
  • BuildUpVertex - searches secondary vertices
  • JetClustering - jet clustering using vertex information
  • FlavorTag - prepares of flavor tagging input variables
  • MakeNtuple - produces ROOT files containing ntuples for training 
  • TrainMVA - performs TMVA training
  • ReadMVA - applies result of training

How to get flavor tagging information inside a Marlin processor:

Code Block
// get jet collection
LCCollection* colJet = evt->getCollection("VertexJets");

// get PIDHandler associated with the jet collection
PIDHandler pidh( colJet );

// get algorithm ID associated with LCFIPlus
int algo = pidh.getAlgorithmID( "lcfiplus" );

// get index number for flavor tagging
int ibtag = pidh.getParameterIndex(algo, "BTag");
int ictag = pidh.getParameterIndex(algo, "CTag");

// loop over jets to extract flavor tagging information
for(int i=0; i < colJet->getNumberOfElements(); i++) {
  ReconstructedParticle *part = 
    dynamic_cast<ReconstructedParticle*>( colJet->getElementAt( i ) );
  const ParticleID &pid = pidh.getParticleID(part, algo);
  cout << "btag = " << pid.getParameters()[ibtag] << endl;
  cout << "ctag = " << pid.getParameters()[ictag] << endl;
}
