Detailed Description

Global list of available variables.

Each variable has an associated unique string key through which it can be accessed. The Manager can be used to get an instance of the Variable class for this key. All ordinary variables take a const Particle* and return a double.

List of available variables

To simply get a list of all variables registered in the main analysis library, run basf2 analysis/scripts/variables.py .

Parameter variables

Parameter variables take a const Particle* and a const std::vector<double>&. They return a double. If a Parameter Variable is accessed via the VariableManager::getVariable a ordinary variable is dynamically registered which calls the Parameter variable with the correct parameters.

Meta variables

Meta variables take a const std::vector<std::string>& and return a pointer to a ordinary variable function. If a Meta Variable is accessed via the VariableManager::getVariable a ordinary variable is dynamically registered which calls the function returned by the meta variable.

There are a number of meta-variables that can be combined with existing variables to do more powerful calculations:

abs(varName)

Return absolute value of variable varName.

daughter(N, varName)

Calculate variable varName for Nth daughter

daughterProductOf(varName)

Calculate variable varName for each daughter, and return product of values

daughterSumOf(varName)

Calculate variable varName for each daughter, and return sum of values

extraInfo(extraInfoName)

Return value of extra info 'extraInfoName' from Particle (see Particle::getExtraInfo()).

So, if you wanted to get the momentum of the first daughter, you can use "daughter(1, p)" anywhere where variable names are accepted. Nesting is also possible, e.g. "daughter(1, abs(extraInfo(SignalProbability)))" can be used.

Adding variables

Variables will automatically register themselves when the library that contains them is loaded. They only need to be put in a .cc file, with a call to REGISTER_VARIABLE() in the global scope to set a name and description. Newly registered variables will be added to the group defined by the last call to VARIABLE_GROUP(), please search the list of variables (see 'List of available variables' section) for a matching group before adding your own.

Example:

double particleFlavorType(const Particle* part)
{
  return part->getFlavorType();
}
REGISTER_VARIABLE("flavor", particleFlavorType, "flavor type of decay (0=unflavored, 1=flavored)");

This registers the variable "flavor" with the given function and description. Note that only alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-Z) plus '_' are permitted in variable names.

Variables can then be accessed using getVariable(name) and getVariables().

Python interface

This class is exported to Python, and can be used to use variables in Python basf2 modules:

from variables import variables
 
from ROOT.Math import PxPyPzEVector
someParticle = Belle2.Particle(PxPyPzEVector(1.0, 0, 0, 1.0), 321)
print(variables.evaluate('E', someParticle))

evaluate()

double evaluate	(	const std::string &	varName,
		const Particle *	p
	)

evaluate variable 'varName' on given Particle.

Mainly provided for the Python interface. For performance critical code, it is recommended to use getVariable() once and keep the Var* pointer around.

Throws exception if variable isn't found. Assumes 'p' is != NULL.
