7 def mc_gen_topo(n=200):
9 Gets the list of variables containing the raw topology information of MC generated events.
10 To be specific, the list including the following variables:
12 * ``nMCGen``: number of MC generated particles in a given event,
13 * ``MCGenPDG_i`` (i=0, 1, ... n-2, n-1):
14 PDG code of the :math:`{\\rm i}^{\\rm th}` MC generated particle in a given event,
15 * ``MCGenMothIndex_i`` (i=0, 1, ... n-2, n-1):
16 mother index of the :math:`{\\rm i}^{\\rm th}` MC generated particle in a given event.
20 * Internally, ``nMCGen``, ``MCGenPDG_i`` and ``MCGenMothIndex_i`` are just aliases of
21 ``nMCParticles``, ``genParticle(i, varForMCGen(PDG))``
22 and ``genParticle(i, varForMCGen(mcMother(mdstIndex)))``, respectively.
23 * For more details on the variables, please refer to the documentations of
24 :b2:var:`nMCParticles`, :b2:var:`genParticle`, :b2:var:`varForMCGen`,
25 :b2:var:`PDG`, :b2:var:`mcMother`, and :b2:var:`mdstIndex`.
28 n (int): number of ``MCGenPDG_i``/``MCGenMothIndex_i`` variables. Its default value is 200.
32 * To completely examine the topology information of the events in an MC sample,
33 the parameter ``n`` should be greater than or equal to the maximum of ``nMCGen`` in the sample.
34 * Normally, the maximum of ``nMCGen`` in the MC samples at Belle II is less than 200.
35 Hence, if you have no idea about the maximum of ``nMCGen`` in your own MC sample,
36 it is usually a safe choice to use the default parameter value 200.
37 * However, an overlarge parameter value leads to unncessary waste of disk space and
38 redundant variables with inelegant ``nan`` values.
39 Hence, if you know the maximum of ``nMCGen`` in your own MC sample,
40 it is a better choice to assign the parameter a proper value.
