7.2.1. ModularAnalysis#

This module defines wrapper functions around the analysis modules.

modularAnalysis.addInclusiveDstarReconstruction(decayString, slowPionCut, DstarCut, path)[source]#

Adds the InclusiveDstarReconstruction module to the given path. This module creates a D* particle list by estimating the D* four momenta from slow pions, specified by a given cut. The D* energy is approximated as E(D*) = m(D*)/(m(D*) - m(D)) * E(pi). The absolute value of the D* momentum is calculated using the D* PDG mass and the direction is collinear to the slow pion direction. The charge of the given pion list has to be consistent with the D* charge

Parameters
  • decayString – Decay string, must be of form D* -> pi

  • slowPionCut – Cut applied to the input pion list to identify slow pions

modularAnalysis.applyChargedPidMVA(particleLists, path, trainingMode, chargeIndependent=False, binaryHypoPDGCodes=(0, 0))[source]#

Use an MVA to perform particle identification for charged stable particles, using the ChargedPidMVA module.

The module decorates Particle objects in the input ParticleList(s) with variables containing the appropriate MVA score, which can be used to select candidates by placing a cut on it.

Note

The MVA algorithm used is a gradient boosted decision tree (TMVA 4.3.0, ROOT 6.20/04).

The module can perform either ‘binary’ PID between input S, B particle mass hypotheses according to the following scheme:

  • e (11) vs. pi (211)

  • mu (13) vs. pi (211)

  • pi (211) vs. K (321)

  • K (321) vs. pi (211)

, or ‘global’ PID, namely “one-vs-others” separation. The latter exploits an MVA algorithm trained in multi-class mode, and it’s the default behaviour. Currently, the multi-class training separates the following standard charged hypotheses:

  • e (11), mu (13), pi (211), K (321)

Warning

In order to run the ChargedPidMVA and ensure the most up-to-date MVA training weights are applied, it is necessary to append the latest analysis global tag (GT) to the steering script.

Parameters
  • particleLists (list(str)) – the input list of DecayStrings, where each selected (^) daughter should correspond to a standard charged ParticleList, e.g. ['Lambda0:sig -> ^p+ ^pi-', 'J/psi:sig -> ^mu+ ^mu-']. One can also directly pass a list of standard charged ParticleLists, e.g. ['e+:my_electrons', 'pi+:my_pions']. Note that charge-conjugated ParticleLists will automatically be included.

  • path (basf2.Path) – the module is added to this path.

  • trainingMode (Belle2.ChargedPidMVAWeights.ChargedPidMVATrainingMode) –

    enum identifier of the training mode. Needed to pick up the correct payload from the DB. Available choices:

    • c_Classification=0

    • c_Multiclass=1

    • c_ECL_Classification=2

    • c_ECL_Multiclass=3

    • c_PSD_Classification=4

    • c_PSD_Multiclass=5

    • c_ECL_PSD_Classification=6

    • c_ECL_PSD_Multiclass=7

  • chargeIndependent (bool, optional) – use a BDT trained on a sample of inclusively charged particles.

  • binaryHypoPDGCodes (tuple(int, int), optional) – the pdgIds of the signal, background mass hypothesis. Required only for binary PID mode.

Note

This function (optionally) requires a payload stored in the analysis GlobalTag. Please append or prepend the latest one from getAnalysisGlobaltag or getAnalysisGlobaltagB2BII.

The visible energy missing values are stored in a EventKinematics dataobject.

Parameters
  • inputListNames – list of ParticleLists used to calculate the global event kinematics. If the list is empty, default ParticleLists pi+:evtkin and gamma:evtkin are filled.

  • fillWithMostLikely – if True, the module uses the most likely particle mass hypothesis for charged particles according to the PID likelihood and the option inputListNames will be ignored.

  • chargedPIDPriors – The prior PID fractions, that are used to regulate amount of certain charged particle species, should be a list of six floats if not None. The order of particle types is the following: [e-, mu-, pi-, K-, p+, d+]

  • default_cleanup – if True and either inputListNames empty or fillWithMostLikely True, default clean up cuts are applied

  • custom_cuts – tuple of selection cut strings of form (trackCuts, photonCuts), default is None, which would result in a standard predefined selection cuts

  • path – modules are added to this path

modularAnalysis.buildEventKinematicsFromMC(inputListNames=None, selectionCut='', path=None)[source]#

Calculates the global kinematics of the event (visible energy, missing momentum, missing mass…) using generated particles. If no ParticleList is provided, default generated ParticleLists are used.

modularAnalysis.buildEventShape(inputListNames=None, default_cleanup=True, custom_cuts=None, allMoments=False, cleoCones=True, collisionAxis=True, foxWolfram=True, harmonicMoments=True, jets=True, sphericity=True, thrust=True, checkForDuplicates=False, path=None)[source]#

Calculates the event-level shape quantities (thrust, sphericity, Fox-Wolfram moments…) using the particles in the lists provided by the user. If no particle list is provided, the function will internally create a list of good tracks and a list of good photons with (optionally) minimal quality cuts.

The results of the calculation are then stored into the EventShapeContainer dataobject, and are accessible using the variables of the EventShape group.

The user can switch the calculation of certain quantities on or off to save computing time. By default the calculation of the high-order moments (5-8) is turned off. Switching off an option will make the corresponding variables not available.

Warning

The user can provide as many particle lists as needed, using also combined particles, but the function will always assume that the lists are independent. If the lists provided by the user contain several times the same track (either with different mass hypothesis, or once as an independent particle and once as daughter of a combined particle) the results won’t be reliable. A basic check for duplicates is available setting the checkForDuplicate flags.

Parameters
  • inputListNames – List of ParticleLists used to calculate the event shape variables. If the list is empty the default particleLists pi+:evtshape and gamma:evtshape are filled.

  • default_cleanup – If True, applies standard cuts on pt and cosTheta when defining the internal lists. This option is ignored if the particleLists are provided by the user.

  • custom_cuts – tuple of selection cut strings of form (trackCuts, photonCuts), default is None, which would result in a standard predefined selection cuts

  • path – Path to append the eventShape modules to.

  • thrust – Enables the calculation of thrust-related quantities (CLEO cones, Harmonic moments, jets).

  • collisionAxis – Enables the calculation of the quantities related to the collision axis .

  • foxWolfram – Enables the calculation of the Fox-Wolfram moments.

  • harmonicMoments – Enables the calculation of the Harmonic moments with respect to both the thrust axis and, if collisionAxis = True, the collision axis.

  • allMoments – If True, calculates also the FW and harmonic moments from order 5 to 8 instead of the low-order ones only.

  • cleoCones – Enables the calculation of the CLEO cones with respect to both the thrust axis and, if collisionAxis = True, the collision axis.

  • jets – Enables the calculation of the hemisphere momenta and masses. Requires thrust = True.

  • sphericity – Enables the calculation of the sphericity-related quantities.

  • checkForDuplicates – Perform a check for duplicate particles before adding them. Regardless of the value of this option, it is recommended to consider sanitizing the lists you are passing to the function.

modularAnalysis.calculateDistance(list_name, decay_string, mode='vertextrack', path=None)[source]#

Calculates distance between two vertices, distance of closest approach between a vertex and a track, distance of closest approach between a vertex and btube. For track, this calculation ignores track curvature, it’s negligible for small distances.The user should use extraInfo(CalculatedDistance) to get it.

modularAnalysis.calculateTrackIsolation(decay_string, path, *detectors, reference_list_name=None, vars_for_nearest_part=[], highest_prob_mass_for_ext=True, exclude_pid_det_weights=False)[source]#

Given an input decay string, compute variables that quantify track helix-based isolation of the charged stable particles in the input decay chain.

Note

An “isolation score” can be defined using the distance of each particle to its closest neighbour, defined as the segment connecting the two extrapolated track helices intersection points on a given cylindrical surface. The distance variables defined in the VariableManager is named minET2ETDist, the isolation scores are named minET2ETIsoScore, minET2ETIsoScoreAsWeightedAvg.

The definition of distance and the number of distances that are calculated per sub-detector is based on the following recipe:

  • CDC: as the segmentation is very coarse along \(z\), the distance is defined as the cord length on the \((\rho=R, \phi)\) plane. A total of 9 distances are calculated: the cylindrical surfaces are defined at radiuses that correspond to the positions of the 9 CDC wire superlayers: \(R_{i}^{\mathrm{CDC}}~(i \in \{0,...,8\})\).

  • TOP: as there is no segmentation along \(z\), the distance is defined as the cord length on the \((\rho=R, \phi)\) plane. Only one distance at the TOP entry radius \(R_{0}^{\mathrm{TOP}}\) is calculated.

  • ARICH: as there is no segmentation along \(z\), the distance is defined as the distance on the \((\rho=R, \phi)\) plane at fixed \(z=Z\). Only one distance at the ARICH photon detector entry coordinate \(Z_{0}^{\mathrm{ARICH}}\) is calculated.

  • ECL: the distance is defined on the \((\rho=R, \phi, z)\) surface in the barrel, on the \((\rho, \phi, z=Z)\) surface in the endcaps. Two distances are calculated: one at the ECL entry surface \(R_{0}^{\mathrm{ECL}}\) (barrel), \(Z_{0}^{\mathrm{ECL}}\) (endcaps), and one at \(R_{1}^{\mathrm{ECL}}\) (barrel), \(Z_{1}^{\mathrm{ECL}}\) (endcaps), corresponding roughly to the mid-point of the longitudinal size of the crystals.

  • KLM: the distance is defined on the \((\rho=R, \phi, z)\) surface in the barrel, on the \((\rho, \phi, z=Z)\) surface in the endcaps. Only one distance at the KLM first strip entry surface \(R_{0}^{\mathrm{KLM}}\) (barrel), \(Z_{0}^{\mathrm{KLM}}\) (endcaps) is calculated.

Parameters
  • decay_string (str) – name of the input decay string with selected charged stable daughters, for example: Lambda0:merged -> ^p+ ^pi-. Alternatively, it can be a particle list for charged stable particles as defined in Const::chargedStableSet, for example: mu+:all. The charge-conjugate particle list will be also processed automatically.

  • path (basf2.Path) – path to which module(s) will be added.

  • *detectors – detectors for which track isolation variables will be calculated. Choose among: {'CDC', 'TOP', 'ARICH', 'ECL', 'KLM'}.

  • reference_list_name (Optional[str]) – name of the input charged stable particle list for the reference tracks. By default, the :all ParticleList of the same type of the selected particle in decay_string is used. The charge-conjugate particle list will be also processed automatically.

  • vars_for_nearest_part (Optional[list(str)]) – a list of variables to calculate for the nearest particle in the reference list at each detector surface. It uses the metavariable minET2ETDistVar. If unset, only the distances to the nearest neighbour per detector are calculated.

  • highest_prob_mass_for_hex (Optional[bool]) – if this option is set to True (default), the helix extrapolation for the particles will use the track fit result for the most probable mass hypothesis, namely, the one that gives the highest chi2Prob of the fit. Otherwise, it uses the mass hypothesis that corresponds to the particle lists PDG.

  • exclude_pid_det_weights (Optional[bool]) – if this option is set to False (default), the isolation score calculation will take into account the weight that each detector has on the PID for the particle species of interest.

Returns

a dictionary mapping the PDG of each reference particle list to its isolation variables.

Return type

dict(int, list(str))

modularAnalysis.combineAllParticles(inputParticleLists, outputList, cut='', writeOut=False, path=None)[source]#

Creates a new Particle as the combination of all Particles from all provided inputParticleLists. However, each particle is used only once (even if duplicates are provided) and the combination has to pass the specified selection criteria to be saved in the newly created (mother) ParticleList.

Parameters
  • inputParticleLists – List of input particle lists which are combined to the new Particle

  • outputList – Name of the particle combination created with this module

  • cut – created (mother) Particle is added to the mother ParticleList if it passes these given cuts (in VariableManager style) and is rejected otherwise

  • writeOut – whether RootOutput module should save the created ParticleList

  • path – module is added to this path

modularAnalysis.copyList(outputListName, inputListName, writeOut=False, path=None)[source]#

Copy all Particle indices from input ParticleList to the output ParticleList. Note that the Particles themselves are not copied. The original and copied ParticleLists will point to the same Particles.

Parameters
  • ouputListName – copied ParticleList

  • inputListName – original ParticleList to be copied

  • writeOut – whether RootOutput module should save the created ParticleList

  • path – modules are added to this path

modularAnalysis.copyLists(outputListName, inputListNames, writeOut=False, path=None)[source]#

Copy all Particle indices from all input ParticleLists to the single output ParticleList. Note that the Particles themselves are not copied. The original and copied ParticleLists will point to the same Particles.

Duplicates are removed based on the first-come, first-served principle. Therefore, the order of the input ParticleLists matters.

See also

If you want to select the best duplicate based on another criterion, have a look at the function mergeListsWithBestDuplicate.

Note

Two particles that differ only by the order of their daughters are considered duplicates and one of them will be removed.

Parameters
  • ouputListName – copied ParticleList

  • inputListName – vector of original ParticleLists to be copied

  • writeOut – whether RootOutput module should save the created ParticleList

  • path – modules are added to this path

modularAnalysis.copyParticles(outputListName, inputListName, writeOut=False, path=None)[source]#

Create copies of Particles given in the input ParticleList and add them to the output ParticleList.

The existing relations of the original Particle (or it’s (grand-)^n-daughters) are copied as well. Note that only the relation is copied and that the related object is not. Copied particles are therefore related to the same object as the original ones.

Parameters
  • ouputListName – new ParticleList filled with copied Particles

  • inputListName – input ParticleList with original Particles

  • writeOut – whether RootOutput module should save the created ParticleList

  • path – modules are added to this path

modularAnalysis.correctBrems(outputList, inputList, gammaList, maximumAcceptance=3.0, multiplePhotons=False, usePhotonOnlyOnce=True, writeOut=False, path=None)[source]#

For each particle in the given inputList, copies it to the outputList and adds the 4-vector of the photon(s) in the gammaList which has(have) a weighted named relation to the particle’s track, set by the ECLTrackBremFinder module during reconstruction.

Warning

This can only work if the mdst file contains the Bremsstrahlung named relation. Official MC samples up to and including MC12 and proc9 do not contain this. Newer production campaigns (from proc10 and MC13) do. However, studies by the tau WG revealed that the cuts applied by the ECLTrackBremFinder module are too tight. These will be loosened but this will only have effect with proc13 and MC15. If your analysis is very sensitive to the Bremsstrahlung corrections, it is advised to use correctBremsBelle.

Information:

A detailed description of how the weights are set can be found directly at the documentation of the BremsFinder module.

Please note that a new particle is always generated, with the old particle and -if found- one or more photons as daughters.

The inputList should contain particles with associated tracks. Otherwise, the module will exit with an error.

The gammaList should contain photons. Otherwise, the module will exit with an error.

Parameters
  • outputList – The output particle list name containing the corrected particles

  • inputList – The initial particle list name containing the particles to correct. It should already exist.

  • gammaList – The photon list containing possibly bremsstrahlung photons; It should already exist.

  • maximumAcceptance – Maximum value of the relation weight. Should be a number between [0,3)

  • multiplePhotons – Whether to use only one photon (the one with the smallest acceptance) or as many as possible

  • usePhotonOnlyOnce – If true, each brems candidate is used to correct only the track with the smallest relation weight

  • writeOut – Whether RootOutput module should save the created outputList

  • path – The module is added to this path

modularAnalysis.correctBremsBelle(outputListName, inputListName, gammaListName, multiplePhotons=True, angleThreshold=0.05, usePhotonOnlyOnce=False, writeOut=False, path=None)[source]#

Run the Belle - like brems finding on the inputListName of charged particles. Adds all photons in gammaListName to a copy of the charged particle that are within angleThreshold.

Tip

Studies by the tau WG show that using a rather wide opening angle (up to 0.2 rad) and rather low energetic photons results in good correction. However, this should only serve as a starting point for your own studies because the optimal criteria are likely mode-dependent

Parameters
  • outputListName (str) – The output charged particle list containing the corrected charged particles

  • inputListName (str) – The initial charged particle list containing the charged particles to correct.

  • gammaListName (str) – The gammas list containing possibly radiative gammas, should already exist.

  • multiplePhotons (bool) – How many photons should be added to the charged particle? nearest one -> False, add all the photons within the cone -> True

  • angleThreshold (float) – The maximum angle in radians between the charged particle and the (radiative) gamma to be accepted.

  • writeOut (bool) – whether RootOutput module should save the created ParticleList

  • usePhotonOnlyOnce (bool) – If true, a photon is used for correction of the closest charged particle in the inputList. If false, a photon is allowed to be used for correction multiple times (Default).

  • Warning – One cannot use a photon twice to reconstruct a composite particle. Thus, for example, if e+ and e- are corrected with a gamma, the pair of e+ and e- cannot form a J/psi -> e+ e- candidate.

  • path (basf2.Path) – modules are added to this path

modularAnalysis.correctEnergyBias(inputListNames, tableName, path=None)[source]#

Scale energy of the particles according to the scaling factor. If the particle list contains composite particles, the energy of the daughters are scaled. Subsequently, the energy of the mother particle is updated as well.

Parameters

  • tableName – stored in localdb and created using ParticleWeightingLookUpCreator

  • path (basf2.Path) – module is added to this path

Note

This function (optionally) requires a payload stored in the analysis GlobalTag. Please append or prepend the latest one from getAnalysisGlobaltag or getAnalysisGlobaltagB2BII.

To avoid unnecessary computation, the input particle list should only contain particles from ROE (use cut ‘isInRestOfEvent == 1’). To update the ECLCluster masks, the input particle list should be a photon particle list (e.g. ‘gamma:someLabel’). To update the Track masks, the input particle list should be a charged pion particle list (e.g. ‘pi+:someLabel’).

Updating a non-existing mask will create a new one.

  • discard tracks that were used in provided particle list

discardFromROEMasks('pi+:badTracks', 'mask', '', path=mypath)
  • discard clusters that were used in provided particle list and pass a cut, apply to several masks

discardFromROEMasks('gamma:badClusters', ['mask1', 'mask2'], 'E < 0.1', path=mypath)
Parameters
  • list_name – name of the input ParticleList

  • mask_names – array of ROEMasks to be updated

  • cut_string – decay string with which the mask will be updated

  • path – modules are added to this path

modularAnalysis.estimateAndAttachTrackFitResult(inputListName, path=None)[source]#

Create a TrackFitResult from the momentum of the Particle assuming it originates from the IP and make a relation between them. The covariance, detector hit information, and fit-related information (pValue, NDF) are assigned meaningless values. The input Particles must not have already Track or TrackFitResult and thus are supposed to be composite particles, recoil, dummy particles, and so on.

Warning

Since the source type is not overwritten as Track, not all track-related variables are guaranteed to be available.

Parameters

inputListName – Name of input ParticleList

modularAnalysis.extractParticlesFromROE(particleLists, signalSideParticleList=None, maskName='all', writeOut=False, path=None)[source]#

Extract Particle objects that belong to the Rest-Of-Events and fill them into the ParticleLists. The types of the particles other than those specified by particleLists are not stored. If one creates a ROE with fillWithMostLikely=True via buildRestOfEvent, for example, one should create particleLists for not only pi+, gamma, K_L0 but also other charged final state particles.

When one calls the function in the main path, one has to set the argument signalSideParticleList and the signal side ParticleList must have only one candidate.

buildRestOfEvent('B0:sig', fillWithMostLikely=True, path=mypath)

roe_path = create_path()
deadEndPath = create_path()
signalSideParticleFilter('B0:sig', '', roe_path, deadEndPath)

plists = ['%s:in_roe' % ptype for ptype in ['pi+', 'gamma', 'K_L0', 'K+', 'p+', 'e+', 'mu+']]
extractParticlesFromROE(plists, maskName='all', path=roe_path)

# one can analyze these ParticleLists in the roe_path

mypath.for_each('RestOfEvent', 'RestOfEvents', roe_path)

rankByLowest('B0:sig', 'deltaE', numBest=1, path=mypath)
extractParticlesFromROE(plists, signalSideParticleList='B0:sig', maskName='all', path=mypath)

# one can analyze these ParticleLists in the main path
Parameters
  • particleLists – (str or list(str)) Name of output ParticleLists

  • signalSideParticleList – (str) Name of signal side ParticleList

  • maskName – (str) Name of the ROE mask to be applied on Particles

  • writeOut – (bool) whether RootOutput module should save the created ParticleList

Note

You must specify the daughter ordering.

fillConvertedPhotonsList('gamma:converted -> e+ e-', '', path=mypath)
Parameters
  • decayString (str) – Must be gamma to an e+e- pair. You must specify the daughter ordering. Will also determine the name of the particleList.

Creates Particles of the desired type from the corresponding mdst dataobjects, loads them to the StoreArray<Particle> and fills the ParticleList.

See also

the Standard Particles functions.

The type of the particles to be loaded is specified via the decayString module parameter. The type of the mdst dataobject that is used as an input is determined from the type of the particle. The following types of the particles can be loaded:

  • charged final state particles (input mdst type = Tracks)
    • e+, mu+, pi+, K+, p, deuteron (and charge conjugated particles)

  • neutral final state particles
    • “gamma” (input mdst type = ECLCluster)

    • “K_S0”, “Lambda0” (input mdst type = V0)

    • “K_L0” (input mdst type = KLMCluster or ECLCluster)

Note

For “K_S0” and “Lambda0” you must specify the daughter ordering.

For example, to load V0s as \(\Lambda^0\to p^+\pi^-\) decays from V0s:

fillParticleList('Lambda0 -> p+ pi-', '0.9 < M < 1.3', path=mypath)

Tip

Gammas can also be loaded from KLMClusters by explicitly setting the parameter loadPhotonsFromKLM to True. However, this should only be done in selected use-cases and the effect should be studied carefully.

Tip

For “K_L0” it is now possible to load from ECLClusters, to revert to the old (Belle) behavior, you can require 'isFromKLM > 0'.

Parameters
  • decayStringsWithCuts (list) – A list of python ntuples of (decayString, cut). The decay string determines the type of Particle and the name of the ParticleList. If the input MDST type is V0 the whole decay chain needs to be specified, so that the user decides and controls the daughters ‘ order (e.g. K_S0 -> pi+ pi-) The cut is the selection criteria to be added to the ParticleList. It can be an empty string.

  • path (basf2.Path) – modules are added to this path

  • enforceFitHypothesis (bool) – If true, Particles will be created only for the tracks which have been fitted using a mass hypothesis of the exact type passed to fillParticleLists().

kaons = ('K+:gen', '')
pions = ('pi+:gen', 'pionID>0.1')
fillParticleListsFromMC([kaons, pions], path=mypath)

Tip

Daughters of Lambda0 are not primary, but Lambda0 is not final state particle. Thus, when one reconstructs a particle from Lambda0, that is created with addDaughters=True and skipNonPrimaryDaughters=True, the particle always has isSignal==0. Please set options for Lambda0 to use MC-matching variables properly as follows, addDaughters=True and skipNonPrimaryDaughters=False.

Parameters
  • decayString – specifies type of Particles and determines the name of the ParticleList

  • cut – Particles need to pass these selection criteria to be added to the ParticleList

  • addDaughters – adds the bottom part of the decay chain of the particle to the datastore and sets mother-daughter relations

  • skipNonPrimaryDaughters – if true, skip non primary daughters, useful to study final state daughter particles

  • writeOut – whether RootOutput module should save the created ParticleList

  • path – modules are added to this path

  • skipNonPrimary – if true, skip non primary particle

  • skipInitial – if true, skip initial particles

modularAnalysis.fillSignalSideParticleList(outputListName, decayString, path)[source]#

This function should only be used in the ROE path, that is a path that is executed for each ROE object in the DataStore.

Example: fillSignalSideParticleList(‘gamma:sig’,’B0 -> K*0 ^gamma’, roe_path)

Function will create a ParticleList with name ‘gamma:sig’ which will be filled with the existing photon Particle, being the second daughter of the B0 candidate to which the ROE object has to be related.

Parameters
  • ouputListName – name of the created ParticleList

  • decayString – specify Particle to be added to the ParticleList

modularAnalysis.findMCDecay(list_name, decay, writeOut=False, appendAllDaughters=False, skipNonPrimaryDaughters=True, path=None)[source]#

Finds and creates a ParticleList for all MCParticle decays matching a given DecayString. The decay string is required to describe correctly what you want. In the case of inclusive decays, you can use Grammar for custom MCMatching

The output particles has only the daughter particles written in the given decay string, if appendAllDaughters=False (default). If appendAllDaughters=True, all daughters of the matched MCParticle are appended in the order defined at the MCParticle level. For example,

findMCDecay('B0:Xee', 'B0 -> e+ e- ... ?gamma', appendAllDaughters=False, path=mypath)

The output ParticleList B0:Xee will match the inclusive B0 -> e+ e- decays (but neutrinos are not included), in both cases of appendAllDaughters is false and true. If the appendAllDaughters=False as above example, the B0:Xee has only two electrons as daughters. While, if appendAllDaughters=True, all daughters of the matched MCParticles are appended. When the truth decay mode of the MCParticle is B0 -> [K*0 -> K+ pi-] [J/psi -> e+ e-], the first daughter of B0:Xee is K*0 and e+ will be the first daughter of second daughter of B0:Xee.

The option skipNonPrimaryDaughters only has an effect if appendAllDaughters=True. If skipNonPrimaryDaughters=True, all primary daughters are appended but the secondary particles are not.

Tip

Daughters of Lambda0 are not primary, but Lambda0 is not a final state particle. In order for the MCMatching to work properly, the daughters of Lambda0 are appended to Lambda0 regardless of the value of the option skipNonPrimaryDaughters.

Parameters
  • list_name – The output particle list name

  • decay – The decay string which you want

  • writeOut – Whether RootOutput module should save the created outputList

  • skipNonPrimaryDaughters – if true, skip non primary daughters, useful to study final state daughter particles

The current default weight files are optimised using MC9. The input variables are as below. Aliases are set to some variables during training.

  • M: pi0/eta candidates Invariant mass

  • lowE: soft photon energy in lab frame

  • cTheta: soft photon ECL cluster’s polar angle

  • Zmva: soft photon output of MVA using Zernike moments of the cluster

  • minC2Hdist: soft photon distance from eclCluster to nearest point on nearest Helix at the ECL cylindrical radius

If you don’t have weight files in your workingDirectory, these files are downloaded from database to your workingDirectory automatically. Please refer to analysis/examples/tutorials/B2A306-B02RhoGamma-withPi0EtaVeto.py about how to use this function.

Note

Please don’t use following ParticleList names elsewhere:

gamma:HARDPHOTON, pi0:PI0VETO, eta:ETAVETO, gamma:PI0SOFT + str(PI0ETAVETO_COUNTER), gamma:ETASOFT + str(PI0ETAVETO_COUNTER)

Please don’t use lowE, cTheta, Zmva, minC2Hdist as alias elsewhere.

Parameters
  • particleList – The input ParticleList

  • decayString – specify Particle to be added to the ParticleList

  • workingDirectory – The weight file directory

  • downloadFlag – whether download default weight files or not

  • pi0vetoname – extraInfo name of pi0 probability

  • etavetoname – extraInfo name of eta probability

  • selection – Selection criteria that Particle needs meet in order for for_each ROE path to continue

  • path – modules are added to this path

Note

This function (optionally) requires a payload stored in the analysis GlobalTag. Please append or prepend the latest one from getAnalysisGlobaltag or getAnalysisGlobaltagB2BII.

modularAnalysis.optimizeROEWithV0(list_name, mask_names, cut_string, path=None)[source]#

This function is used to apply particle list specific cuts on one or more ROE masks for Tracks. It is possible to optimize the ROE selection by treating tracks from V0’s separately, meaning, taking V0’s 4-momentum into account instead of 4-momenta of tracks. A cut for only specific V0’s passing it can be applied.

The input particle list should be a V0 particle list: K_S0 (‘K_S0:someLabel’, ‘’), Lambda (‘Lambda:someLabel’, ‘’) or converted photons (‘gamma:someLabel’).

Updating a non-existing mask will create a new one.

  • treat tracks from K_S0 inside mass window separately, replace track momenta with K_S0 momentum

optimizeROEWithV0('K_S0:opt', 'mask', '0.450 < M < 0.550', path=mypath)
Parameters
  • list_name – name of the input ParticleList

  • mask_names – array of ROEMasks to be updated

  • cut_string – decay string with which the mask will be updated

  • path – modules are added to this path

modularAnalysis.outputIndex(filename, path, includeArrays=None, keepParents=False, mc=True)[source]#

Write out all particle lists as an index file to be reprocessed using parentLevel flag. Additional branches necessary for file to be read are automatically included. Additional Store Arrays and Relations to be stored can be specified via includeArrays list argument.

Parameters
  • str – filename the name of the output index file

  • str – path modules are added to this path

  • list(str) – includeArrays: datastore arrays/objects to write to the output file in addition to particle lists and related information

  • bool – keepParents whether the parents of the input event will be saved as the parents of the same event in the output index file. Useful if you are only adding more information to another index file

  • bool – mc whether the input data is MC or not

modularAnalysis.outputMdst(filename, path)[source]#

Saves mDST (mini-Data Summary Tables) to the output root file.

Warning

This function is kept for backward-compatibility. Better to use mdst.add_mdst_output directly.

modularAnalysis.outputUdst(filename, particleLists=None, includeArrays=None, path=None, dataDescription=None)[source]#

Save uDST (user-defined Data Summary Tables) = MDST + Particles + ParticleLists The charge-conjugate lists of those given in particleLists are also stored. Additional Store Arrays and Relations to be stored can be specified via includeArrays list argument.

Note

This does not reduce the amount of Particle objects saved, see udst.add_skimmed_udst_output for a function that does.

modularAnalysis.printDataStore(eventNumber=- 1, path=None)[source]#

Prints the contents of DataStore in the first event (or a specific event number or all events). Will list all objects and arrays (including size).

See also

The command line tool: b2file-size.

Parameters
  • eventNumber (int) – Print the datastore only for this event. The default (-1) prints only the first event, 0 means print for all events (can produce large output)

  • path (basf2.Path) – the PrintCollections module is added to this path

Warning

This will print a lot of output if you print it for all events and process many events.

modularAnalysis.printList(list_name, full, path)[source]#

Prints the size and executes Particle->print() (if full=True) method for all Particles in given ParticleList. For debugging purposes.

Parameters
  • list_name – input ParticleList name

  • full – execute Particle->print() method for all Particles

  • path – modules are added to this path

modularAnalysis.printMCParticles(onlyPrimaries=False, maxLevel=- 1, path=None, *, showProperties=False, showMomenta=False, showVertices=False, showStatus=False, suppressPrint=False)[source]#

Prints all MCParticles or just primary MCParticles up to specified level. -1 means no limit.

By default this will print a tree of just the particle names and their pdg codes in the event, for example

There’s a distinction between primary and secondary particles. Primary particles are the ones created by the physics generator while secondary particles are ones generated by the simulation of the detector interaction.

Secondaries are indicated with a dashed line leading to the particle name and if the output is to the terminal they will be printed in red. If onlyPrimaries is True they will not be included in the tree.

On demand, extra information on all the particles can be displayed by enabling any of the showProperties, showMomenta, showVertices and showStatus flags. Enabling all of them will look like this:

...
╰── pi- (-211)
    │ mass=0.14 energy=0.445 charge=-1 lifetime=6.36
    │ p=(0.257, -0.335, 0.0238) |p|=0.423
    │ production vertex=(0.113, -0.0531, 0.0156), time=0.00589
    │ status flags=PrimaryParticle, StableInGenerator, StoppedInDetector
    │ list index=48
    │
    ╰╶╶ n0 (2112)
        mass=0.94 energy=0.94 charge=0 lifetime=5.28e+03
        p=(-0.000238, -0.0127, 0.0116) |p|=0.0172
        production vertex=(144, 21.9, -1.29), time=39
        status flags=StoppedInDetector
        creation process=HadronInelastic
        list index=66

The first line of extra information is enabled by showProperties, the second line by showMomenta, the third line by showVertices and the last two lines by showStatus. Note that all values are given in Belle II standard units, that is GeV, centimeter and nanoseconds.

The depth of the tree can be limited with the maxLevel argument: If it’s bigger than zero it will limit the tree to the given number of generations. A visual indicator will be added after each particle which would have additional daughters that are skipped due to this limit. An example event with maxLevel=3 is given below. In this case only the tau neutrino and the pion don’t have additional daughters.

The same information will be stored in the branch __MCDecayString__ of TTree created by VariablesToNtuple or VariablesToEventBasedTree module. This branch is automatically created when PrintMCParticles modules is called. Printing the information on the log message can be suppressed if suppressPrint is True, while the branch __MCDecayString__. This option helps to reduce the size of the log message.

Parameters
  • onlyPrimaries (bool) – If True show only primary particles, that is particles coming from the generator and not created by the simulation.

  • maxLevel (int) – If 0 or less print the whole tree, otherwise stop after n generations

  • showProperties (bool) – If True show mass, energy and charge of the particles

  • showMomenta (bool) – if True show the momenta of the particles

  • showVertices (bool) – if True show production vertex and production time of all particles

  • showStatus (bool) – if True show some status information on the particles. For secondary particles this includes creation process.

  • suppressPrint (bool) – if True printing the information on the log message is suppressed. Even if True, the branch __MCDecayString__ is created.

modularAnalysis.printPrimaryMCParticles(path, **kwargs)[source]#

Prints all primary MCParticles, that is particles from the physics generator and not particles created by the simulation

This is equivalent to printMCParticles(onlyPrimaries=True, path=path) and additional keyword arguments are just forwarded to that function

modularAnalysis.printROEInfo(mask_names=None, full_print=False, unpackComposites=True, path=None)[source]#

This function prints out the information for the current ROE, so it should only be used in the for_each path. It prints out basic ROE object info.

If mask names are provided, specific information for those masks will be printed out.

It is also possible to print out all particles in a given mask if the ‘full_print’ is set to True.

Parameters
  • mask_names – array of ROEMask names for printing out info

  • unpackComposites – if true, replace composite particles by their daughters

  • full_print – print out particles in mask

  • path – modules are added to this path

modularAnalysis.printVariableValues(list_name, var_names, path)[source]#

Prints out values of specified variables of all Particles included in given ParticleList. For debugging purposes.

Parameters
  • list_name – input ParticleList name

  • var_names – vector of variable names to be printed

  • path – modules are added to this path

modularAnalysis.rankByHighest(particleList, variable, numBest=0, outputVariable='', allowMultiRank=False, cut='', overwriteRank=False, path=None)[source]#

Ranks particles in the input list by the given variable (highest to lowest), and stores an integer rank for each Particle in an extraInfo field ${variable}_rank starting at 1 (best). The list is also sorted from best to worst candidate (each charge, e.g. B+/B-, separately). This can be used to perform a best candidate selection by cutting on the corresponding rank value, or by specifying a non-zero value for ‘numBest’.

Tip

Extra-info fields can be accessed by the extraInfo metavariable. These variable names can become clunky, so it’s probably a good idea to set an alias. For example if you rank your B candidates by momentum,

rankByHighest("B0:myCandidates", "p", path=mypath)
vm.addAlias("momentumRank", "extraInfo(p_rank)")
Parameters
  • particleList – The input ParticleList

  • variable – Variable to order Particles by.

  • numBest – If not zero, only the $numBest Particles in particleList with rank <= numBest are kept.

  • outputVariable – Name for the variable that will be created which contains the rank, Default is ‘${variable}_rank’.

  • allowMultiRank – If true, candidates with the same value will get the same rank.

  • cut – Only candidates passing the cut will be ranked. The others will have rank -1

  • overwriteRank – If true, the extraInfo of rank is overwritten when the particle has already the extraInfo.

  • path – modules are added to this path

modularAnalysis.rankByLowest(particleList, variable, numBest=0, outputVariable='', allowMultiRank=False, cut='', overwriteRank=False, path=None)[source]#

Ranks particles in the input list by the given variable (lowest to highest), and stores an integer rank for each Particle in an extraInfo field ${variable}_rank starting at 1 (best). The list is also sorted from best to worst candidate (each charge, e.g. B+/B-, separately). This can be used to perform a best candidate selection by cutting on the corresponding rank value, or by specifying a non-zero value for ‘numBest’.

Tip

Extra-info fields can be accessed by the extraInfo metavariable. These variable names can become clunky, so it’s probably a good idea to set an alias. For example if you rank your B candidates by dM,

rankByLowest("B0:myCandidates", "dM", path=mypath)
vm.addAlias("massDifferenceRank", "extraInfo(dM_rank)")
Parameters
  • particleList – The input ParticleList

  • variable – Variable to order Particles by.

  • numBest – If not zero, only the $numBest Particles in particleList with rank <= numBest are kept.

  • outputVariable – Name for the variable that will be created which contains the rank, Default is ‘${variable}_rank’.

  • allowMultiRank – If true, candidates with the same value will get the same rank.

  • cut – Only candidates passing the cut will be ranked. The others will have rank -1

  • overwriteRank – If true, the extraInfo of rank is overwritten when the particle has already the extraInfo.

  • path – modules are added to this path

modularAnalysis.reconstructDecay(decayString, cut, dmID=0, writeOut=False, path=None, candidate_limit=None, ignoreIfTooManyCandidates=True, chargeConjugation=True, allowChargeViolation=False)[source]#

Creates new Particles by making combinations of existing Particles - it reconstructs unstable particles via their specified decay mode, e.g. in form of a DecayString: D0 -> K- pi+ or B+ -> anti-D0 pi+, … All possible combinations are created (particles are used only once per candidate) and combinations that pass the specified selection criteria are saved to a newly created (mother) ParticleList. By default the charge conjugated decay is reconstructed as well (meaning that the charge conjugated mother list is created as well) but this can be deactivated.

One can use an @-sign to mark a particle as unspecified for inclusive analyses, e.g. in a DecayString: '@Xsd -> K+ pi-'.

Warning

The input ParticleLists are typically ordered according to the upstream reconstruction algorithm. Therefore, if you combine two or more identical particles in the decay chain you should not expect to see the same distribution for the daughter kinematics as they may be sorted by geometry, momentum etc.

For example, in the decay D0 -> pi0 pi0 the momentum distributions of the two pi0 s are not identical. This can be solved by manually randomising the lists before combining.

Parameters
  • decayStringDecayString specifying what kind of the decay should be reconstructed (from the DecayString the mother and daughter ParticleLists are determined)

  • cut – created (mother) Particles are added to the mother ParticleList if they pass give cuts (in VariableManager style) and rejected otherwise

  • dmID – user specified decay mode identifier

  • writeOut – whether RootOutput module should save the created ParticleList

  • path – modules are added to this path

  • candidate_limit – Maximum amount of candidates to be reconstructed. If the number of candidates is exceeded a Warning will be printed. By default, all these candidates will be removed and event will be ignored. This behaviour can be changed by 'ignoreIfTooManyCandidates' flag. If no value is given the amount is limited to a sensible default. A value <=0 will disable this limit and can cause huge memory amounts so be careful.

  • ignoreIfTooManyCandidates – whether event should be ignored or not if number of reconstructed candidates reaches limit. If event is ignored, no candidates are reconstructed, otherwise, number of candidates in candidate_limit is reconstructed.

  • chargeConjugation – boolean to decide whether charge conjugated mode should be reconstructed as well (on by default)

  • allowChargeViolation – whether the decay string needs to conserve the electric charge

modularAnalysis.reconstructDecayWithNeutralHadron(decayString, cut, allowGamma=False, allowAnyParticleSource=False, path=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Reconstructs decay with a long-lived neutral hadron e.g. \(B^0 \to J/\psi K_L^0\), \(B^0 \to p \bar{n} D^*(2010)^-\).

The calculation is done with IP constraint and mother mass constraint.

The decay string passed in must satisfy the following rules:

  • The neutral hadron must be selected in the decay string with the caret (^) e.g. B0:sig -> J/psi:sig ^K_L0:sig. (Note the caret next to the neutral hadron.)

  • There can only be one neutral hadron in a decay.

  • The neutral hadron has to be a direct daughter of its mother.

Note

This function forwards its arguments to reconstructDecay, so please check the documentation of reconstructDecay for all possible arguments.

Parameters
  • decayString – A decay string following the mentioned rules

  • cut – Cut to apply to the particle list

  • allowGamma – Whether allow the selected particle to be gamma

  • allowAnyParticleSource – Whether allow the selected particle to be from any source. Should only be used when studying control sample.

  • path – The path to put in the module

modularAnalysis.reconstructMCDecay(decayString, cut, dmID=0, writeOut=False, path=None, chargeConjugation=True)[source]#

Finds and creates a ParticleList from given decay string. ParticleList of daughters with sub-decay is created.

Only the particles made from MCParticle, which can be loaded by fillParticleListFromMC, are accepted as daughters.

Only signal particle, which means isSignal is equal to 1, is stored. One can use the decay string grammar to change the behavior of isSignal. One can find detailed information in DecayString.

Tip

If one uses same sub-decay twice, same particles are registered to a ParticleList. For example, K_S0:pi0pi0 =direct=> [pi0:gg =direct=> gamma:MC gamma:MC] [pi0:gg =direct=> gamma:MC gamma:MC]. One can skip the second sub-decay, K_S0:pi0pi0 =direct=> [pi0:gg =direct=> gamma:MC gamma:MC] pi0:gg.

Tip

It is recommended to use only primary particles as daughter particles unless you want to explicitly study the secondary particles. The behavior of MC-matching for secondary particles from a stable particle decay is not guaranteed. Please consider to use fillParticleListFromMC with skipNonPrimary=True to load daughter particles. Moreover, it is recommended to load K_S0 and Lambda0 directly from MCParticle by fillParticleListFromMC rather than reconstructing from two pions or a proton-pion pair, because their direct daughters can be the secondary particle.

Parameters
  • decayStringDecayString specifying what kind of the decay should be reconstructed (from the DecayString the mother and daughter ParticleLists are determined)

  • cut – created (mother) Particles are added to the mother ParticleList if they pass given cuts (in VariableManager style) and rejected otherwise isSignal==1 is always required by default.

  • dmID – user specified decay mode identifier

  • writeOut – whether RootOutput module should save the created ParticleList

  • path – modules are added to this path

  • chargeConjugation – boolean to decide whether charge conjugated mode should be reconstructed as well (on by default)

modularAnalysis.scaleError(outputListName, inputListName, scaleFactors=[1.149631, 1.085547, 1.151704, 1.096434, 1.086659], scaleFactorsNoPXD=[1.149631, 1.085547, 1.151704, 1.096434, 1.086659], d0Resolution=[0.00115328, 0.00134704], z0Resolution=[0.00124327, 0.0013272], d0MomThr=0.5, z0MomThr=0.5, path=None)[source]#

This module creates a new charged particle list. The helix errors of the new particles are scaled by constant factors. Two sets of five scale factors are defined for tracks with and without a PXD hit. The scale factors are in order of (d0, phi0, omega, z0, tanlambda). For tracks with a PXD hit, in order to avoid severe underestimation of d0 and z0 errors, lower limits (best resolution) can be set in a momentum-dependent form. This module is supposed to be used only for TDCPV analysis and for low-momentum (0-3 GeV/c) tracks in BBbar events. Details will be documented in a Belle II note, BELLE2-NOTE-PH-2021-038.

Parameters
  • inputListName – Name of input charged particle list to be scaled

  • outputListName – Name of output charged particle list with scaled error

  • scaleFactors – List of five constants to be multiplied to each of helix errors (for tracks with a PXD hit)

  • scaleFactorsNoPXD – List of five constants to be multiplied to each of helix errors (for tracks without a PXD hit)

  • d0Resolution – List of two parameters, (a [cm], b [cm/(GeV/c)]), defining d0 best resolution as sqrt{ a**2 + (b / (p*beta*sinTheta**1.5))**2 }

  • z0Resolution – List of two parameters, (a [cm], b [cm/(GeV/c)]), defining z0 best resolution as sqrt{ a**2 + (b / (p*beta*sinTheta**2.5))**2 }

  • d0MomThr – d0 best resolution is kept constant below this momentum

  • z0MomThr – z0 best resolution is kept constant below this momentum

modularAnalysis.scaleTrackMomenta(inputListNames, scale=nan, payloadName='', scalingFactorName='SF', path=None)[source]#

Scale momenta of the particles according to a scaling factor scale. This scaling factor can either be given as constant number or as the name of the payload which contains the variable scale factors. If the particle list contains composite particles, the momenta of the track-based daughters are scaled. Subsequently, the momentum of the mother particle is updated as well.

Parameters

modularAnalysis.tagCurlTracks(particleLists, mcTruth=False, responseCut=- 1.0, selectorType='cut', ptCut=0.5, expert_train=False, expert_filename='', path=None)[source]#

Warning

The cut selector is not calibrated with Belle II data and should not be used without extensive study.

Identifies curl tracks and tags them with extraInfo(isCurl=1) for later removal. For Belle data with a B2BII analysis the available cut based selection is described in BN1079.

The module loops over all particles in a given list with a transverse momentum below the pre-selection ptCut and assigns them to bundles based on the response of the chosen selector and the required minimum response set by the responseCut. Once all particles are assigned they are ranked by 25dr^2+dz^2. All but the lowest are tagged with extraInfo(isCurl=1) to allow for later removal by cutting the list or removing these from ROE as applicable.

Parameters
  • particleLists – list of particle lists to check for curls.

  • mcTruth – bool flag to additionally assign particles with extraInfo(isTruthCurl) and extraInfo(truthBundleSize). To calculate these particles are assigned to bundles by their genParticleIndex then ranked and tagged as normal.

  • responseCut – float min classifier response that considers two tracks to come from the same particle. If set to -1 a cut value optimised to maximise the accuracy on a BBbar sample is used. Note ‘cut’ selector is binary 0/1.

  • selectorType – string name of selector to use. The available options are ‘cut’ and ‘mva’. It is strongly recommended to used the ‘mva’ selection. The ‘cut’ selection is based on BN1079 and is only calibrated for Belle data.

  • ptCut – Pre-selection cut on transverse momentum. Only tracks below that are considered as curler candidates.

  • expert_train – flag to set training mode if selector has a training mode (mva).

  • expert_filename – set file name of produced training ntuple (mva).

  • path – module is added to this path.

Note

This function (optionally) requires a payload stored in the analysis GlobalTag. Please append or prepend the latest one from getAnalysisGlobaltag or getAnalysisGlobaltagB2BII.

Give pi0/eta probability for hard photon.

In the default weight files a value of 1.4 GeV is set as the lower limit for the hard photon energy in the CMS frame.

The current default weight files are optimised using MC12.

The input variables of the mva training are:

  • M: pi0/eta candidates Invariant mass

  • daughter(1,E): soft photon energy in lab frame

  • daughter(1,clusterTheta): soft photon ECL cluster’s polar angle

  • daughter(1,minC2TDist): soft photon distance from eclCluster to nearest point on nearest Helix at the ECL cylindrical radius

  • daughter(1,clusterZernikeMVA): soft photon output of MVA using Zernike moments of the cluster

  • daughter(1,clusterNHits): soft photon total crystal weights sum(w_i) with w_i<=1

  • daughter(1,clusterE9E21): soft photon ratio of energies in inner 3x3 crystals and 5x5 crystals without corners
