7.6. Event based analysis#
Note
The analysis software framework is designed to work with particles. In the default candidate-wise paradigm the analyst takes lists of particles, builds up candidates, loads analysis modules, and saves information (i.e. using the VariablesToNtuple tool) for each candidate. If you are new, it is probably best to start with this approach.
In some situations, it is useful to make cuts on, and write out event-wise information.
Warning
Please note that this use model and the documentation are under development.
Please ask questions at Belle II questions and report bugs using GitLab. Be sure to tag your questions and bug reports as “analysis” and “event based” to help us find them.
7.6.1. VariablesToEventBasedTree#
The VariablesToNtuple tool writes out one entry in a TTree for every candidate. If you want one entry for every event, you should use the VariableToEventBasedTree module. Note that this still operates on a particle list so you will still need to build up a list of candidates in the normal way.
Here is an example of writing event-wise information for all pions in the event:
import basf2
from stdCharged import stdPi
mypath = basf2.Path()
stdPi('all', path=mypath)
mypath.add_module('VariablesToEventBasedTree',
particleList='pi+:all',
variables=['isSignal', 'mcErrors', 'p', 'E'],
event_variables=['nTracks', 'expNum', 'runNum', 'evtNum'])
- VariablesToEventBasedTree
Calculate variables specified by the user for a given ParticleList and save them into a TTree. The Tree is event-based, meaning that the variables of each candidate for each event are saved in an array of a branch of the Tree.
- Package
analysis
- Library
libVariablesToEventBasedTree.so
- Parameters
- event_variables (list(str), default=[])
List of variables (or collections) to save for each event. Variables are taken from Variable::Manager, and are identical to those available to e.g. ParticleSelector. Only event-based variables are allowed here.
- fileName (str, default=’VariablesToEventBasedTree.root’)
Name of ROOT file for output. Can be overridden using the -o argument of basf2.
- fileNameSuffix (str, default=’’)
The suffix of the output ROOT file to be appended before
.root
.
- maxCandidates (unsigned int, default=100)
The maximum number of candidates in the ParticleList per entry of the Tree.
- particleList (str, default=’’)
Name of particle list with reconstructed particles. An empty ParticleList is not supported. Use the VariablesToNtupleModule for this use-case
- sampling (tuple(str, dict(int -> unsigned int)), default=(‘’, {}))
Tuple of variable name and a map of integer values and inverse sampling rate. E.g. (signal, {1: 0, 0:10}) selects all signal events and every 10th background event. Variable must be event-based.
- treeName (str, default=’tree’)
Name of the NTuple in the saved file.
- variables (list(str), default=[])
List of variables (or collections) to save for each candidate. Variables are taken from Variable::Manager, and are identical to those available to e.g. ParticleSelector.
7.6.2. Event based selection#
Instead of making cuts on properties of particle lists, it is possible to reject all events that fail an event based variable cut. Here is a simple example:
from modularAnalysis import applyEventCuts, buildEventShape
from stdCharged import stdPi
stdPi('all', path=mypath)
buildEventShape(path=mypath)
applyEventCuts('foxWolframR2 < 0.3', path=mypath)
This builds the list of all pions but only processes events where the event-level R2 passes the cut.
See also
B2A307
shows a full example.
- modularAnalysis.applyEventCuts(cut, path, metavariables=None)[source]
Removes events that do not pass the
cut
(given selection criteria).Example
continuum events (in mc only) with more than 5 tracks
applyEventCuts("[nTracks > 5] and [isContinuumEvent], path=mypath)
Warning
Only event-based variables are allowed in this function and only square brackets
[
and]
for conditional statements.- Parameters
cut (str) – Events that do not pass these selection criteria are skipped
path (basf2.Path) – modules are added to this path
metavariables (list(str)) – List of meta variables to be considered in decomposition of cut
