Currently two examples are available:
-
WW5CFit: This processor performs a 5C fit (px, py, pz, E and equal mass constraints) on 4 jet events, as one would do for WW or ZZ events. The center of mass energy and the name of the input jet collection are steerable.
The provided example steering assumes that you have a standard DBD ILD_o1_v5 DST file at 500 GeV. It runs the FastJetProcessor in exclusive kt mode to remove the gammagamma->hadrons overlay and then performs the fit on the remaining jets.
-
TTBarExample: This processor performs a 6C fit (px, py, pz, E and 2 W mass constraints) on 6 jet events, as one could do for ttbar events. To reduce the combinatorics it is assumed that 2 jets are b-tagged. The center of mass energy and the name of the input jet collections are steerable.
The provided example steering assumes that you have an LCIO file which already contains two collections of 4 light jets and 2 b-jets per event. If you don't have such a file, you have to call digitization, particle flow, jet finder and b-tagging before calling TTBarExample.
In addition, TopTester provides an example how to use TopEventILC, a toy MC of either fully hadronic or semi-leptonic ttbar events plus a matching kinematic fit. In the toy MC, the generated four-vectors of the 6 final-state fermions are smeared with the same resolutions as used in the fit, and the correct jet pairing is cheated. This comes handy for testing further developments of the fit engines, or of new types of fit objects, contraints etc.
