    Creates and fills a flat ntuple with the specified variables from the VariableManager.
    If a decayString is provided, then there will be one entry per candidate (for particle in list of candidates).
    If an empty decayString is provided, there will be one entry per event (useful for trigger studies, etc).
 
    Parameters:
        decayString (str): specifies type of Particles and determines the name of the ParticleList

        treename (str): name of the ntuple tree
