7.3. Variables#
While basf2
operates on ParticleList s, it is also important to calculate physics quantities associated with a given candidate or event.
In basf2
analysis, variables are handled by the VariableManager
.
There are many variables available for use in analysis.
Probably the most obvious, and useful are: p
, E
, Mbc
, and deltaE
.
You can search the variables in an alphabetical basf2 Variable Index, or browse Variables by group.
7.3.1. VariableManager#
The VariableManager handles all variables in basf2
analysis.
It is implemented as a singleton
C++ class with a python interface.
The C++ documentation is here.
Tip
For (unfortunate) historical reasons, the python accessor to the VariableManager
singleton is called variables
and is in the python variables
module.
This leads to strange-looking python import
commands.
For example:
from variables import variables
To avoid confusion, example/tutorial scripts often use a namespace alias vm
.
You might want to use this in your scripts.
from variables import variables as vm # shorthand for VariableManager
- class VariableManager#
Singleton class to hold all variables and aliases in the current scope.
- addAlias(alias, expression)#
Create a new alias.
Variable names are deliberately verbose and explicit (to avoid ambiguity). However, it is often not desirable to deal with long unwieldy variable names particularly in the context of Variable Manager Output.
Example:
Aliases to a verbose variable may be set with:
>>> from variables import variables as vm >>> vm.addAlias("shortname", "aReallyLongAndSpecificVariableName(1, 2, 3)")
See also
variables.utils.create_aliases
andvariables.utils.create_aliases_for_selected
might be helpful if you find yourself setting many aliases in your analysis script.Warning
The VariableManager instance is configured independently of the
basf2.Path
. In case of adding the same alias twice, the configuration just before callingbasf2.process
is what wins.
- getAliasNames()#
Get a list of all alias names (in reverse order added)
Tip
This returns a
ROOT.vector
which you will probably need to convert into a pythonlist(str)
.>>> my_aliases = list(vm.getAliasNames())
- Returns
ROOT.vector
list of alias names
- addCollection(collection, variables)#
Create a new variable collection.
Tip
This method takes a
ROOT.vector<string>
as input. It’s probably easier to usevariables.utils.add_collection
which wraps this function for you.- Parameters
collection (str) – The new collection to create.
variables – A
ROOT.std.vector(string)
instance of variables to add as the variable collection.
- Returns
True if the collection was successfully added
- getCollection(collection)#
Get a list of all variables in the
collection
.- Parameters
collection (str) – The name of the existing variable collection
- Returns
ROOT.vector
list of variable names
- printAliases()#
Prints all aliases currently registered. Useful to call just before calling
basf2.process
on an analysisbasf2.Path
when debugging.

The particle’s mass.
Note that this is context-dependent variable and can take different values depending on the situation. This should be the “best” value possible with the information provided.
If this particle is track- or cluster- based, then this is the value of the mass hypothesis.
If this particle is an MC particle then this is the mass of that particle.
If this particle is composite, then initially this takes the value of the invariant mass of the daughters.
If this particle is composite and a mass or vertex fit has been performed then this may be updated by the fit.
You will see a difference between this mass and the

- acoplanarityAngle#
Acoplanarity angle (see
Particle::getAcoplanarity
) assuming a two body decay of the particle and its daughters. See PDG Polarization Review for the definition of the acoplanarity angle.- Unit
rad
- cosAcoplanarityAngle(i, j)#
Cosine of the acoplanarity angle (\(\Phi\) in the PDG Polarization Review). Given a two-body decay, the acoplanarity angle is defined as the angle between the two decay planes in the reference frame of the mother.
We calculate the acoplanarity angle as the angle between the two normal vectors of the decay planes. Each normal vector is the cross product of the momentum of one daughter (in the frame of the mother) and the momentum of one of the granddaughters (in the reference frame of the daughter).
This variable needs two integer arguments: the first one,
i
is the index of the first granddaughter, and the second one,j
the index of the second granddaughter.For example, in the decay \(B^0 \to \left(J/\psi \to \mu^+ \mu^-\right) \left(K^{*0} \to K^+ \pi^-\right)\), if the provided particle is \(B^0\) and the selected indices are (0, 0), the variable will return the acoplanarity using the \(\mu^+\) and the \(K^+\) granddaughters.
- cosHelicityAngle(i, j)#
Cosine of the helicity angle between the momentum of the selected granddaughter and the direction opposite to the momentum of the provided particle in the reference frame of the selected daughter (\(\theta_1\) and \(\theta_2\) in the PDG 2018, p. 722).
This variable needs two integer arguments: the first one,
i
, is the index of the daughter and the second one,j
is the index of the granddaughter.For example, in the decay \(B^0 \to \left(J/\psi \to \mu^+ \mu^-\right) \left(K^{*0} \to K^+ \pi^-\right)\), if the provided particle is \(B^0\) and the selected indices are (0, 0), the variable will return the angle between the momentum of the \(\mu^+\) and the direction opposite to the momentum of the \(B^0\), both momenta in the rest frame of the \(J/\psi\).
This variable is needed for angular analyses of \(B\)-meson decays into two vector particles.
- cosHelicityAngleBeamMomentum(i)#
Cosine of the helicity angle of the \(i\)-th daughter of the particle provided, assuming that the mother of the provided particle corresponds to the centre-of-mass system, whose parameters are automatically loaded by the function, given the accelerator’s conditions.
- cosHelicityAngleDaughter(i [, j])#
Cosine of the helicity angle of the i-th daughter (see
Particle::getCosHelicityDaughter
). The optional second argument is the index of the granddaughter that defines the angle, default is 0.For example, in the decay: \(B^0 \to \left(J/\psi \to \mu^+ \mu^-\right) \left(K^{*0} \to K^+ \pi^-\right)\), if the provided particle is \(B^0\) and the selected index is 0, the variable will return the helicity angle of the \(\mu^+\). If the selected index is 1 the variable will return the helicity angle of the \(K^+\) (defined via the rest frame of the \(K^{*0}\)). In rare cases if one wanted the helicity angle of the second granddaughter, indices 1,1 would return the helicity angle of the \(\pi^-\)).
See PDG Polarization Review for the definition of the helicity angle.
- cosHelicityAngleForQuasiTwoBodyDecay(i, j)#
Cosine of the helicity angle between the momentum of the provided particle and the momentum of the first selected daughter (i-th) in the reference frame of the sum of two selected daughters (i-th + j-th).
The variable is supposed to be used for the analysis of a quasi-two-body decay. The number of daughters of the given particle must be three. Otherwise, the variable returns NaN.
For example, in the decay \(\bar{B}^0 \to D^+ K^- K^{*0}\), if the provided particle is \(\bar{B}^0\) and the selected indices are (1, 2), the variable will return the angle between the momentum of the \(\bar{B}^0\) and the momentum of the \(K^-\), both momenta in the rest frame of the \(K^- K^{*0}\).
- cosHelicityAngleMomentum#
If the given particle has two daughters: cosine of the angle between the line defined by the momentum difference of the two daughters in the frame of the given particle (mother) and the momentum of the given particle in the lab frame.
If the given particle has three daughters: cosine of the angle between the normal vector of the plane defined by the momenta of the three daughters in the frame of the given particle (mother) and the momentum of the given particle in the lab frame.
Otherwise, it returns 0.
- cosHelicityAngleMomentumPi0Dalitz#
To be used for the decay \(\pi^0 \to e^+ e^- \gamma\): cosine of the angle between the momentum of the gamma in the frame of the given particle (mother) and the momentum of the given particle in the lab frame.
Otherwise, it returns 0.
- cosHelicityAnglePrimary#
Cosine of the helicity angle (see``Particle::getCosHelicity``) assuming the center of mass system as mother rest frame. See PDG Polarization Review for the definition of the helicity angle.
- momentaTripleProduct(i, j, k)#
a triple-product of three momenta of offspring in the mother rest frame: \(C_T=\vec{p}_i\cdot(\vec{p}_j\times\vec{p}_k)\). For examples, In a four-body decay M->D1D2D3D4, momentaTripleProduct(0,1,2) returns CT using the momenta of D1D2D3 particles. In other decays involving secondary decay, e.g. for M->(R->D1D2)D3D4, momentaTripleProduct(0:0,1,2) returns C_T using momenta of D1D3D4 particles.

PID#
Here is a list of particle identification variables:
Warning
The definitions of the default PID variables have changed between release-01 and release-02.
Prior to release-02-00-00 (i.e. in release-01-XX-YY) each ID was calculated against the pion likelihood alone, or the kaon in the case of the pion itself. Namely the pair probability (also known as the binary probability) was returned:
for all particles: \(\text{<Part>ID}=\mathcal{L}_{\text{<Part>}}/\mathcal{L}_\pi\), where \(\text{<Part>}\in[e,\mu,K,p,d]\).
for pions: \(\text{PionID}=\mathcal{L}_\pi/\mathcal{L}_K\).
In other words, pionID was sensitive only to the pion-kaon mis-id, and not to the pion-proton or pion-muon mis-identification.

Basic particle information#
- charge#
Returns electric charge of particle in units of \(e\).
- chiProb#
A context-dependent \(\chi^2\) probability for ‘the fit’ related to this particle.
If this particle is track-based, then this is the pvalue of the track fit (identical to
pValue
).If this particle is cluster-based then this variable is currently unused.
If this particle is composite and a vertex fit has been performed, then this is the \(\chi^2\) probability of the vertex fit result.
Tip
If multiple vertex fits are performed then the last one sets the
chiProb
overwriting all previous.See also
pValue
for tracks
- flavor#
Returns 1 if particle is flavored type, 0 if it is unflavored.
- isFromECL#
Returns true if this particle was created from an ECLCluster, false otherwise.
- isFromKLM#
Returns true if this particle was created from a KLMCluster, false otherwise.
- isFromTrack#
Returns true if this particle was created from a track, false otherwise.
- isFromV0#
Returns true if this particle was created from a V0, false otherwise.
- isUnspecified#
Returns true if the particle is marked as an unspecified object (like B0 -> @Xsd e+ e-), false otherwise
- mdstIndex#
Store array index (0 - based) of the MDST object from which the Particle was created. It’s 0 for composite particles.
Tip
It is not a unique identifier of particle. For example, a pion and a gamma can have the same
mdstIndex
: pions are created from tracks whereas gammas are created from ECL clusters; tracks and ECL clusters are stored in different arrays. A photon may be created from ECL cluster with index 0 and a pion may be created from track with index 0 will both havemdstIndex
equal to 0, but they will be different particles.Tip
Two particles of the same type can also have the same
mdstIndex
. This would mean that they are created from the same object. For example, if pion and kaon have the samemdstIndex
it means that they are created from the same track.Tip
If you are looking for unique identifier of the particle, please use
uniqueParticleIdentifier
.
- nDaughters#
Returns number of daughter particles
- particleSource#
Returns mdst source used to create the particle. The meaning of the values are
0: undefined
1: created from track
2: created from ECL cluster
3: created from KLM cluster
4: created from V0
5: MC particle
6: composite particle
- uniqueParticleIdentifier#

uniqueParticleIdentifier
value.

ECL Cluster#
Here is a list of variables related to ECL cluster. All ECLCluster-based variables return NaN if no ECLCluster is found.
Note
All floating type variables in the mdst dataobject ECLCluster use ROOT Double32_t types with specific range declaration to save disk storage. This has two important consequences for a user:
All ECL cluster variables have a limited precision. This precision is always better than the intrinsic ECL data acquisition precision. However, if these variables are histogrammed, binning effects are likely.
All ECL cluster variables are clipped at the lower and upper boundaries: Values below (above) these boundaries will be set to the lower (upper) bound.
Lower and upper limits, and precision of these variables are mentioned inside the note box below them. One should note this in the context of binning effects.
- beamBackgroundSuppression#
Returns the output of an MVA classifier that uses shower-related variables to distinguish true photon clusters from beam background clusters. Class 1 is for true photon clusters while class 0 is for beam background clusters.
The MVA has been trained using MC and the features used are:
Both run-dependent and run-independent weights are available. For more information on this, and for usage recommendations, please see the Neutrals Performance Confluence Page.
- clusterAbsZernikeMoment40#
Returns absolute value of Zernike moment 40 (\(|Z_{40}|\)). (shower shape variable).
Note
- clusterAbsZernikeMoment51#
Returns absolute value of Zernike moment 51 (\(|Z_{51}|\)). (shower shape variable).
Note
- clusterCellID#
Returns cellId of the crystal with highest energy in the ECLCluster.
- clusterClusterID#
Returns ECL cluster ID of this ECL cluster within the connected region (CR) to which it belongs to.
- clusterConnectedRegionID#
Returns ECL cluster’s connected region ID.
- clusterDeltaLTemp#
- Returns DeltaL for the shower shape.A cluster comprises the energy depositions of several crystals. All these crystals have slightly different orientations in space. A shower direction can be constructed by calculating the weighted average of these orientations using the corresponding energy depositions as weights. The intersection (more precisely the point of closest approach) of the vector with this direction originating from the cluster center and an extrapolated track can be used as reference for the calculation of the shower depth. It is defined as the distance between this intersection and the cluster center.
Warning
This distance is calculated on the reconstructed level and is temporarily included to the ECL cluster MDST data format for studying purposes. If it is found that it is not crucial for physics analysis then this variable will be removed in future releases. Therefore, keep in mind that this variable might be removed in the future!
Note
- Unit

- clusterE#
Returns ECL cluster’s energy corrected for leakage and background.
The raw photon energy is given by the weighted sum of all ECL crystal energies within the ECL cluster. The weights per crystals are \(\leq 1\) after cluster energy splitting in the case of overlapping clusters. The number of crystals that are included in the sum depends on a initial energy estimation and local beam background levels at the highest energy crystal position. It is optimized to minimize the core width (resolution) of true photons. Photon energy distributions always show a low energy tail due to unavoidable longitudinal and transverse leakage that can be further modified by the clustering algorithm and beam backgrounds.The peak position of the photon energy distributions are corrected to match the true photon energy in MC:
Leakage correction: Using large MC samples of mono-energetic single photons, a correction factor \(f\) as function of reconstructed detector position, reconstructed photon energy and beam backgrounds is determined via \(f = \frac{\text{peak_reconstructed}}{\text{energy_true}}\).
Cluster energy calibration (data only): To reach the target precision of \(< 1.8\%\) energy resolution for high energetic photons, the remaining difference between MC and data must be calibrated using kinematically fit muon pairs. This calibration is only applied to data and not to MC and will take time to develop.
Energy Bias Correction module, sub-percent correction, is NOT applied on clusterE, but on photon energy and momentum. Only applied to data.
It is important to note that after perfect leakage correction and cluster energy calibration, the \(\pi^{0}\) mass peak will be shifted slightly to smaller values than the PDG average due to the low energy tails of photons. The \(\pi^{0}\) mass peak must not be corrected to the PDG value by adjusting the reconstructed photon energies. Selection criteria based on the mass for \(\pi^{0}\) candidates must be based on the biased value. Most analysis will used mass constrained \(\pi^{0}\) s anyhow.

- clusterE1E9#
Returns ratio of energies of the central crystal, E1, and 3x3 crystals, E9, around the central crystal. Since \(E1 \leq E9\), this ratio is \(\leq 1\) and tends towards larger values for photons and smaller values for hadrons.
Note
- clusterE9E21#

- clusterErrorTiming#
Returns ECL cluster’s timing uncertainty that contains \(99\%\) of true photons (dt99).
The photon timing uncertainty is currently determined using MC. The resulting parametrization depends on the true energy deposition in the highest energetic crystal and the local beam background level in that crystal. The resulting timing distribution is non-Gaussian and for each photon the value dt99 is stored, where \(|\text{timing}| / \text{dt99} < 1\) is designed to give a \(99\%\) timing efficiency for true photons from the IP. The resulting efficiency is approximately flat in energy and independent of beam background levels.
Very large values of dt99 are an indication of failed waveform fits in the ECL. We remove such clusters in most physics photon lists.
Note
Warning
In real data there will be a sizeable number of high energetic Bhabha events (from previous or later bunch collisions) that can easily be rejected by timing cuts. However, these events create large ECL clusters that can overlap with other ECL clusters and it is not clear that a simple rejection is the correction strategy.

Note
- clusterPhi#
Returns ECL cluster’s azimuthal angle \(\phi\) (this is not generally equal to a photon azimuthal angle).
The direction of a cluster is given by the connecting line of \(\,(0,0,0)\,\) and cluster centroid position in the ECL.The cluster centroid position is calculated using up to 21 crystals (5x5 excluding corners) after cluster energy splitting in the case of overlapping clusters.The centroid position is the logarithmically weighted average of all crystals evaluated at the crystal centers. Cluster centroids are generally biased towards the centers of the highest energetic crystal. This effect is larger for low energetic photons.Beam backgrounds slightly decrease the position resolution, mainly for low energetic photons.Note
Radius of a cluster is almost constant in the barrel and should not be used directly in any selection.
Unlike for charged tracks, the uncertainty (covariance) of the photon directions is not determined based on individual cluster properties but taken from on MC-based parametrizations of the resolution as function of true photon energy, true photon direction and beam background level.
Warning
Users must use the actual particle direction (done automatically in the modularAnalysis using the average IP position (can be changed if needed)) and not the ECL Cluster direction (position in the ECL measured from \((0,0,0)\)) for particle kinematics.

- clusterThetaID#
Returns thetaId of the crystal with highest energy in the ECLCluster.
- clusterTiming#
In Belle II: Returns the time of the ECL cluster. It is calculated as the Photon timing minus the Event t0. Photon timing is given by the fitted time of the recorded waveform of the highest energy crystal in the cluster. After all calibrations and corrections (including Time-Of-Flight), photons from the interaction point (IP) should have a Photon timing that corresponds to the Event t0, \(t_{0}\). The Event t0 is the time of the event and may be measured by a different sub-detector (see Event t0 documentation). For an ECL cluster produced at the interaction point in time with the event, the cluster time should be consistent with zero within the uncertainties. Special values are returned if the fit for the Photon timing fails (see documentation for
clusterHasFailedTiming
). (For MC, the calibrations and corrections are not fully simulated).Note
In Belle: Returns the trigger cell (TC) time of the ECL cluster (photon). This information is available only in Belle data since experiment 31, and not available in Belle MC. Clusters produced at the interaction point in time with the event, have TC time in the range of 9000-11000 Calculated based on the Appendix of Belle note 831.

It is conceptually correct to have two tracks matched to the same cluster.

- clusterZernikeMVA#

As a crystal can be related to more than one shower, \(w_{i}\) is the fraction of the energy of the \(i\)-th crystal associated with the shower.

Trigger#
Here is a list of trigger variables:
- L1FTDL(name)#
[Eventbased] Returns the FTDL (Final Trigger Decision Logic, before prescale) status (1 or 0) of the output trigger bit with the given name. Output bits are the outputs of GDL, combining different input trigger bits for final decision. For example,
ty_0/1/2/3
is one of the input trigger bits meaning the number of neuro 3D tracks is one/two/three/more than three. Whileyyy
is one of the output trigger bits meaning(ty_2 or ty_3) and !veto
. Please check on the dedicated Confluence page or or the dedicated Belle II notes to find out the definition of trigger bits.
- L1FTDLBit(i)#
[Eventbased] Returns the FTDL (Final Trigger Decision Logic, before prescale) status (1 or 0) of i-th trigger bit.
Warning
It is recommended to use this variable only for debugging and to use
L1FTDL
with the explicit trigger bit name for physics analyses or performance studies.
- L1Input(name)#
[Eventbased] Returns the input bit status (1 or 0) of the trigger bit with the given name. Input trigger bits are predefined selections from each sub-detector, with adjustment of the delay and width, in order to fix latency on GDL. For example,
ty_0/1/2/3
is one of the input trigger bits meaning the number of neuro 3D tracks is one/two/three/more than three. Please check on the dedicated Confluence page or or the dedicated Belle II notes to find out the definition of trigger bits.
- L1InputBit(i)#
[Eventbased] Returns the input bit status (1 or 0) of the i-th input trigger bit.
Warning
It is recommended to use this variable only for debugging and to use
L1Input
with the explicit trigger bit name for physics analyses or performance studies.
- L1PSNM(name)#
[Eventbased] Returns the PSNM (Prescale And Mask, after prescale) status (1 or 0) of the output trigger bit with the given name. For some output trigger bits, we assign a prescale factor to reduce the number of triggered events. For example, we want to keep only 1% of Bhabha events. A prescale factor of 100 is then assigned to
bha_3D
(Bhabha selected in 3D criteria). Prescale factor of a given output trigger bit could be different in different datasets. It is recommended to use prescaled trigger bits (L1PSNM) or un-prescaled trigger bits (L1FTDL) for your analysis. In run-independent MC, configuration of the prescales in TSIM (trigger simulation) can be different from data, so L1 FTDL is recommended. In run-dependent MC, configuration of the prescales in TSIM is consistent with data, so L1PSNM is recommended. Please check on the dedicated Confluence page or or the dedicated Belle II notes to find out the definition of trigger bits.
- L1PSNMBit(i)#
[Eventbased] Returns the PSNM (Prescale And Mask, after prescale) status (1 or 0) of i-th trigger bit.

L1PSNM
with the explicit trigger bit name for physics analyses or performance studies.
- L1PSNMBitPrescale(i)#
[Eventbased] Returns the PSNM (prescale and mask) prescale of i-th trigger bit.
Warning
It is recommended to use this variable only for debugging and to use
L1Prescale
with the explicit trigger bit name for physics analyses or performance studies.
- L1Prescale(name)#
[Eventbased] Returns the PSNM (prescale and mask) prescale factor of the trigger bit with the given name. Definition of prescale factor is shown in a few lines before in
L1PSNM
. Prescale factors are usually dependent on different datasets.

which is equivalent to
SoftwareTriggerResult(software_trigger_cut&filter&1_Estargt1_GeV_cluster_no_other_cluster_Estargt0.3_GeV)
Warning
the meanings of these change depending if using trigger or the skim stage, hence expert.
See also

The variable is event-based and does not need a valid particle pointer as input.
- azimuthalAngleInDecayPlane(i, j)#
Azimuthal angle of i-th daughter in decay plane towards projection of particle momentum into decay plane.
First we define the following symbols:
P: four-momentum vector of decaying particle in whose decay plane the azimuthal angle is measured
M: “mother” of p, however not necessarily the direct mother but any higher state, here the CMS itself is chosen
D1: daughter for which the azimuthal angle is supposed to be calculated
D2: another daughter needed to span the decay plane
L: normal to the decay plane (four-component vector)
L can be defined via the following relation:
\[L^{\sigma} = \delta^{\sigma\nu} \epsilon_{\mu\nu\alpha\beta} P^{\mu}D1^{\alpha}D2^{\beta}\]The azimuthal angle is given by
\[\phi \equiv \cos^{-1} \left(\frac{-\vec{M_{\parallel}} \cdot \vec{D1}}{|\vec{M_{\parallel}}| \cdot |\vec{D1}|}\right)\]For a frame independent formulation the three component vectors need to be written via invariant four-momentum vectors.
\[\begin{split}-\vec{M_{\parallel}} \cdot \vec{D1} &= \biggl[M - \frac{(M \cdot L)L}{L^2}\biggr] \cdot D1 - \frac{(M \cdot P)(D1 \cdot P)}{m^2_P}\\ |\vec{M_{\parallel}}| &= |\vec{M}| \sqrt{1 - \cos^2 \psi}\\ |\vec{M}| &= \sqrt{\frac{(M \cdot P)^2}{m^2_P} - m^2_M}\\ \cos \psi &= \frac{\vec{M} \cdot \vec{L}}{|\vec{M}| \cdot |\vec{L}|} = \frac{-M \cdot L}{|\vec{M}| \cdot \sqrt{-L^2}}\\ |\vec{D1}| &= \sqrt{\frac{(D1 \cdot P)^2}{m^2_P} - m^2_{D1}}\end{split}\]- Unit

variable
can only be a function of the particle 4-momentum, which is re-calculated as the sum of the daughters’ 4-momenta, and the daughters’ 4-momentum. This means that if you made a kinematic fit without updating the daughters’ momenta, the result of this variable will not reflect the effect of the kinematic fit. Also, the track fit is not performed again: the variable only re-calculates the 4-vectors using different mass assumptions. In the variable, a copy of the given particle is created with daughters’ alternative mass assumption (i.e. the original particle and daughters are not changed).Warning

variable
in the lab frame.Tip
The lab frame is the default reference frame, usually you don’t need to use this meta-variable. E.g.

) returns the momentum of the second daughter of the signal B meson in the signal B meson rest frame.

0.130 < M < 0.140
). If a combination of the signal Photon with a ROE photon fits this criteria, hence looks like a neutral pion, the veto-Metavariable will return 1

KLM Cluster and \(K_{L}^0\) Identification#
Here is a list of KLM Cluster and \(K_{L}^0\) identification variables:
Warning
Please note that these variables refer to KLMClusters, which are designed to reconstruct \(K_{L}^0\) and other neutral particles with the KLM subdetector. These variables must not be used to do particle identification of charged tracks (for example, they must not be used to identify muons), otherwise there is a serious risk to spoil a physics analysis.
For particle identification of charged tracks, please use the canonical PID variables.

Returns the Belle-style ECL flag.
- klmClusterBelleTrackFlag#
Returns the Belle-style Track flag.
- klmClusterEnergy#
Returns the energy of the associated KLMCluster.

This variable returns an approximation of the energy: it uses
klmClusterMomentum
as momentum and the hypothesis that the KLMCluster is originated by a \(K_{L}^0\) (\(E_{\text{KLM}} = \sqrt{M_{K^0_L}^2 + p_{\text{KLM}}^2}\), where \(E_{\text{KLM}}\) is this variable, \(M_{K^0_L}\) is the \(K^0_L\) mass and \(p_{\text{KLM}}\) isklmClusterMomentum

This variable returns an approximation of the momentum, since it is proportional to
klmClusterLayers
(\(p_{\text{KLM}} = 0.215 \cdot N_{\text{layers}}\), where \(p_{\text{KLM}}\) is this variable and \(N_{\text{layers}}\) isklmClusterLayers

the difference of the azimuthal angle of the vertex vector and the momentum vector,
and the flight distance of the Lambda0 candidates in xy plane.
It reproduces the
goodLambda()
function in Belle.goodBelleLambda
selection 1 (selected with:goodBelleLambda>0
) maximizes the signal significance after applyingatcPIDBelle(4,2) > 0.6
, whilegoodBelleLambda
selection 2 (goodBelleLambda>1
) is tighter and maximizes the signal significance of a \(\Lambda^0\) sample without any proton PID cut. However, it might still be beneficial to apply a proton PID cut on top of it. Which combination of proton PID cut andgoodBelleLambda
selection scenario is ideal, is probably analysis-dependent.Warning

Returns the distance \(d_{\mathrm{i}}\) in [cm] between the particle and the nearest particle in the reference list at the given detector \(i\)-th layer surface. The definition is based on the track helices extrapolation.
The first argument is the name of the detector to consider.
The second argument is the detector layer on whose surface we search for the nearest neighbour.
The third argument is the reference particle list name used to search for the nearest neighbour.
The fourth (optional) argument is an integer (“boolean”) flag: if 1 (the default, if nothing is set), it is assumed the extrapolation was done with the most probable mass hypothesis for the track fit; if 0, it is assumed the mass hypothesis matching the particle lists’ PDG was used.

The third argument is the reference particle list name used to search for the nearest neighbour.
The fourth argument is a variable name, e.g.

The first argument is the reference particle list name used to search for the nearest neighbour.
The second argument is an integer (“boolean”) flag: if 1, it is assumed the extrapolation was done with the most probable mass hypothesis for the track fit; if 0, it is assumed the mass hypothesis matching the particle lists’ PDG was used.
The remaining arguments are a comma-separated list of detector names, which must correspond to the one given to the

FEIVariables#
As known by many analysts by using the isSignal
flag for truth matching
for the tagging B meson from the FEI there is still a peak visible for the
background in e.g. the \(M_{\text{bc}}\) distribution making it hard to
determine e.g. a yield there.
New variables seem to be found to address this problem.
- mostcommonBTagIndex#
By giving e.g. a FEI B meson candidate the B meson index on generator level is determined, where most reconstructed particles can be assigned to. If no B meson found on generator level -1 is returned.
- percentageMissingParticlesBTag#
Get the percentage of missing particles by using the mostcommonBTagIndex. So the number of particles not reconstructed by e.g. the FEI are determined and divided by the number of generated particles using the given index of the B meson. If no B meson found on generator level -1 is returned.
- percentageWrongParticlesBTag#
Get the percentage of wrong particles by using the mostcommonBTagIndex. In this context wrong means that the reconstructed particles originated from the other B meson. The absolute number is divided by the total number of generated FSP from the given B meson index. If no B meson found on generator level -1 is returned.
7.3.3. Collections and Lists#
To avoid very long lists of variable names in variablesToNtuple
,
it is possible to use collections of variables or lists of variables instead.
Lists of variables are just python lists of variables names. One can use the list in the steering file as follows:
# Defining the list
my_list = ['p','E']
# Passing it as an argument to variablesToNtuple
modularAnalysis.variablesToNtuple(variables=my_list, ...)
It is also possible to create user-defined variable collections. The name of the variable collection can be treated as a variable name.
- variables.utils.add_collection(list_of_variables: Iterable[str], collection_name: str) str [source]#
The function creates variable collection from the given list of variables It wraps the
VariableManager.addCollection
method which is not particularly user-friendly.Example
Defining the collection >>> variables.utils.add_collection([‘p’,’E’], “my_collection”)
Passing it as an argument to variablesToNtuple >>> modularAnalysis.variablesToNtuple(variables=[‘my_collection’], …)
Predefined collections#

7.3.4. Operations with variable lists#
It is possible to create new variable lists using meta-variables. For example,
one can define list of kinematic variables in LAB frame and create another
lists of kinematic variables in CMS using useCMSFrame(variable)
meta-variable:
from variables.utils import create_aliases
# Replacement to Kinematics tool
kinematics = ['px', 'py', 'pz', 'pt', 'p', 'E']
# Kinematic variables in CMS
cms_kinematics = create_aliases(kinematics, "useCMSFrame({variable})", "CMS")
Now we can use the list of aliases cms_kinematics
and add them to the
output in one go or modify them further. The following functions are provided
to help to easily create aliases.
- variables.utils.create_aliases(list_of_variables: Iterable[str], wrapper: str, prefix='') List[str] [source]#
The function creates aliases for variables from the variables list with given wrapper and returns list of the aliases.
If the variables in the list have arguments (like
useLabFrame(p)
) all non-alphanumeric characters in the variable will be replaced by underscores (for exampleuseLabFrame_x
) for the alias name.>>> list_of_variables = ['M','p','matchedMC(useLabFrame(px))'] >>> wrapper = 'daughter(1,{variable})' >>> prefix = 'pref' >>> print(create_aliases(list_of_variables, wrapper, prefix)) ['pref_M', 'pref_p', 'pref_matchedMC_useLabFrame_px'] >>> from variables import variables >>> variables.printAliases() [INFO] ===================================== [INFO] The following aliases are registered: [INFO] pref_M --> daughter(1,M) [INFO] pref_matchedMC_useLabFrame_px --> daughter(1,matchedMC(useLabFrame(px))) [INFO] pref_p --> daughter(1,p) [INFO] =====================================
- Parameters
- Returns
new variables list
- Return type
- variables.utils.create_aliases_for_selected(list_of_variables: List[str], decay_string: str, prefix: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]] = None, *, use_names=True, always_include_indices=False, use_relative_indices=False) List[str] [source]#
The function creates list of aliases for given variables so that they are calculated for particles selected in decay string. That is for each particle selected in the decay string an alias is created to calculate each variable in the
list_of_variables
.If
use_names=True
(the default) then the names of the aliases are assigned as follows:If names are unambiguous, it’s semi-laconic DecayString style: The aliases will be prefixed with the names of all parent particle names separated by underscore. For example given the decay string
B0 -> [D0 -> ^pi+ K-] pi0
the aliases for thepi+` will start with ``D0_pi_
followed by the variable name.>>> list_of_variables = ['M','p'] >>> decay_string = 'B0 -> [D0 -> ^pi+ K-] pi0' >>> create_aliases_for_selected(list_of_variables, decay_string) ['D0_pi_M', 'D0_pi_p'] >>> from variables import variables >>> variables.printAliases() [INFO] ========================= [INFO] Following aliases exists: [INFO] 'D0_pi_M' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(0,M))' [INFO] 'D0_pi_p' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(0,p))' [INFO] =========================
If names are ambiguous because there are multiple daughters with the same name these particles will be followed by their daughter index. For example given the decay string
B0 -> [D0 -> ^pi+:1 ^pi-:2 ^pi0:3 ] ^pi0:4
will create aliases with the following prefixes for particle with the corresponding number as list name:D0_pi_0_
D0_pi_1_
D0_pi0_
pi0_
>>> list_of_variables = ['M','p'] >>> decay_string = 'B0 -> [D0 -> ^pi+ ^pi- ^pi0] ^pi0' >>> create_aliases_for_selected(list_of_variables, decay_string) ['D0_pi_0_M', 'D0_pi_0_p', 'D0_pi_1_M', 'D0_pi_1_p', 'D0_pi0_M', 'D0_pi0_p', 'pi0_M', 'pi0_p'] >>> from variables import variables >>> variables.printAliases() [INFO] ========================= [INFO] Following aliases exists: [INFO] 'D0_pi0_M' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(2,M))' [INFO] 'D0_pi0_p' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(2,p))' [INFO] 'D0_pi_0_M' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(0,M))' [INFO] 'D0_pi_0_p' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(0,p))' [INFO] 'D0_pi_1_M' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(1,M))' [INFO] 'D0_pi_1_p' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(1,p))' [INFO] 'D0_pi_M' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(0,M))' [INFO] 'D0_pi_p' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(0,p))' [INFO] 'pi0_M' --> 'daughter(1,M)' [INFO] 'pi0_p' --> 'daughter(1,p)' [INFO] =========================
The user can select to always include the index even for unambiguous particles by passing
always_include_indices=True
The user can choose two different numbering schemes: If
use_relative_indices=False
the original decay string indices will be used if a index is added to a particle name.But if
use_relative_indices=True
the indices will just start at zero for each particle which is part of the prefixes. For example forB0-> e+ ^e-
>>> create_aliases_for_selected(['M'], 'B0-> mu+ e- ^e+ ^e-', use_relative_indices=False) ['e_2_M', 'e_3_M'] >>> create_aliases_for_selected(['M'], 'B0-> mu+ e- ^e+ ^e-', use_relative_indices=True) ['e_0_M', 'e_1_M']
If
use_names=False
the aliases will just start with the daughter indices of all parent particles prefixed with ad
and separated by underscore. So for the previous exampleB0 -> [D0 -> ^pi+:1 ^pi-:2 ^pi0:3 ] ^pi0:4
this would result in aliases starting withd0_d0_
d0_d1_
d0_d2_
d1_
In this case the
always_include_indices
anduse_relative_indices
arguments are ignored.The naming can be modified by providing a custom prefix for each selected particle. In this case the parameter
prefix
needs to be either a simple string if only one particle is selected or a list of strings with one prefix for each selected particle.>>> list_of_variables = ['M','p'] >>> decay_string = 'B0 -> [D0 -> ^pi+ ^pi- pi0] pi0' >>> create_aliases_for_selected(list_of_variables, decay_string, prefix=['pip', 'pim']) ['pip_M', 'pip_p', 'pim_M', 'pim_p'] >>> from variables import variables >>> variables.printAliases() [INFO] ========================= [INFO] Following aliases exists: [INFO] 'pim_M' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(1,M))' [INFO] 'pim_p' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(1,p))' [INFO] 'pip_M' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(0,M))' [INFO] 'pip_p' --> 'daughter(0,daughter(0,p))' [INFO] =========================
If the mother particle itself is selected the input list of variables will also be added to the returned list of created aliases. If custom prefixes are supplied then aliases will be created for the mother particle as well:
>>> create_aliases_for_selected(['M', 'p'], '^B0 -> pi+ ^pi-') ['M', 'p', 'pi_M', 'pi_p'] >>> create_aliases_for_selected(['M', 'p'], '^B0 -> pi+ ^pi-', prefix=['MyB', 'MyPi']) ['MyB_M', 'MyB_p', 'MyPi_M', 'MyPi_p']

- variables.utils.create_isSignal_alias(aliasName, flags)[source]#
Make a
VariableManager
alias for a customizedisSignal
, which accepts specified mc match errors.See also
see Truth-matching for a definition of the mc match error flags.
The following code defines a new variable
isSignalAcceptMissingGammaAndMissingNeutrino
, which is same asisSignal
, but also accepts missing gamma and missing neutrino>>> create_isSignal_alias("isSignalAcceptMissingGammaAndMissingNeutrino", [16, 8])
Logically, this
isSignalAcceptMissingGammaAndMissingNeutrino
=isSignalAcceptMissingGamma
||isSignalAcceptMissingNeutrino
.In the example above, create_isSignal_alias() creates
isSignalAcceptMissingGammaAndMissingNeutrino
by unmasking (setting bits to zero) thec_MissGamma
bit (16 or 0b00010000) andc_MissNeutrino
bit (8 or 0b00001000) in mcErrors.For more information, please check this example script.
7.3.5. Miscellaneous helpers for using variables#
7.3.6. Writing your own variable#
The code of VariableManager lives inside the analysis package. If you want to write your own variables you have a couple of options. You can (and should) try to make your variables general, so that they are useful for many collaborators. In this case, we recommend you make a pull request. Then your variables will be made available in a central release to many people.
In case you have something really analysis-specific that no one else will need. You can still use the VariableManager.
Below are step-by-step instructions for implementation of helicity angle for arbitrary granddaughter particle.
Step 1. Check whether your function would fit in any of the existing source files#
If yes, go to the next step.
If not, create new header/source files. In case of our example, we will create AngularVariables.h
and AngularVariables.cc
AngularVariables.h
in analysis/VariableManager/include/
:
#pragma once
// include VariableManager
#include <analysis/VariableManager/Manager.h>
// include the Belle II Particle class
#include <analysis/dataobjects/Particle.h>
// put variable in the Belle2::Variable namespace
namespace Belle2 {
namespace Variable {
// Your code goes here
} // Variable namespace
} // Belle2 namespace
AngularVariables.cc
in analysis/VariableManager/src/
:
// Own include
#include <analysis/VariableManager/AngularVariables.h>
// put variable in the Belle2::Variable namespace
namespace Belle2 {
namespace Variable {
// Your code goes here
} // Variable namespace
} // Belle2 namespace
Step 2. Add function definition in the header file#
Here we define a method helicityAngle that has 3 arguments:
pointer to a Particle
index of the daughter Particle
index of the granddaughter (daughter’s daughter) Particle
in the AngularVariable.h
header file. The return value of every variable has to be double.
/**
* returns cosine of the helicity angle: angle between granddaughter and this particle in the daughter's rest frame.
* The daughter and granddaughter particles are specified with the additional parameter.
*/
double helicityAngle(const Particle* particle, const std::vector<double>& daughter_indices);
Step 3. Implement the function in the source file#
Info on getters for the Particle class
Info on getters for the LorentzVector class
Pictorial definition of the helicity angle
double helicityAngle(const Particle* particle, const std::vector<double>& daughter_indices) {
// for the calculation of the helicity angle we need particle (=particle in the argument)
// its daughter and granddaughter. The particle is given as an argument, but the daughter
// and granddaughter are specified as the indices in the vector (second argument)
// daughter_indices[0] = index of the daughter
// daughter_indices[1] = index of the granddaughter
if (!particle)
return std::numeric_limits<float>::quiet_NaN();
int nDaughters = particle->getNDaughters();
if(nDaughters < 2)
return std::numeric_limits<float>::quiet_NaN();
if (daughter_indices.size() != 2)
return std::numeric_limits<float>::quiet_NaN();
// get the daughter particle
int daughterIndex = daughter_indices[0];
const Particle *daughter = particle->getDaughter(daughterIndex);
nDaughters = daughter->getNDaughters();
if(nDaughters < 2)
return std::numeric_limits<float>::quiet_NaN();
// get the granddaughter
int grandDaughterIndex = daughter_indices[1];
const Particle *grandDaughter = daughter->getDaughter(grandDaughterIndex);
// do the calculation
PxPyPzEVector particle4Vector = particle->get4Vector();
PxPyPzEVector daughter4Vector = daughter->get4Vector();
PxPyPzEVector gDaughter4Vector = grandDaughter->get4Vector();
Boost boost2daughter(daughter4Vector.BoostToCM());
particle4Vector = boost2daughter * particle4Vector;
gDaughter4Vector = boost2daughter * gDaughter4Vector;
B2Vector3D particle3Vector = particle4Vector.Vect();
B2Vector3D gDaughter3Vector = gDaughter4Vector.Vect();
double numerator = gDaughter3Vector.Dot(particle3Vector);
double denominator = (gDaughter3Vector.Mag())*(particle3Vector.Mag());
return numerator/denominator;
}
Step 4. Register the new variable#
At the end of the source file, add the following lines:
VARIABLE_GROUP("AngularVariables");
REGISTER_VARIABLE("helicityAngle(i,j)", helicityAngle,
"cosine of the angle between particle->getDaughter(i)->getDaughter(j) and this particle in the particle->getDaughter(i) rest frame.");
Step 5. Compile#
Execute scons in your local release directory
Step 6. Done!#
You can check if your variable is visible to VariableManager
>>> basf2 analysis/scripts/variables.py
AngularVariables: helicityAngle(i,j) cosine of the angle between particle->getDaughter(i)->getDaughter(j) and this particle in the particle->getDaughter(i) rest frame.
You can use your variable in the same way as you use standard variables.
How to use my variable at grid?#
Prepare the environment with the
b2analysis-create
tool.
>>> b2analysis-create myanalysis <current central release, e.g. release-04-00-00>
>>> cd myanalysis
>>> b2setup
Define the new variables/functions in a .cc and register them with the variable manager. This means that in the new .cc you should add:
#include <framework/core/Module.h>
#include <analysis/VariableManager/Manager.h>
#include <analysis/dataobjects/Particle.h>
namespace Belle2 {
namespace Variable {
double myVarFunction(const Particle* particle) { **your code** }
VARIABLE_GROUP("CUSTOM_VARIABLES");
REGISTER_VARIABLE("myVar", myVarFunction, "My custom variable");
}
// Create an empty module which does nothing at all. What it does is allowing
// basf2 to easily find the library and load it from the steering file
class EnableMyVariableModule: public Module {}; // And register this module to create a .map lookup file.
REG_MODULE(EnableMyVariable);
}
Then:
Run scons and you will get a
.so
and a.b2modmap
files inmodules/Linux_x86_64/opt
.Load the libraries and make the variables available you need to add these lines to your steering file:
import basf2
basf2.register_module("EnableMyVariable") # This is the relevant line: now you can use your variable
from variables import variables
print(variables.getVariable("myVar").description)
These lines will add the local directory to the module search path and instantiate the module we created. This is enough to load the library and register the variables. Now you should be able to use your custom variables for your analysis and there is no need to add this module to the path, it just needs to be registered to load the library.
In the end you can run your analysis on the grid adding the .so
and .map
files to the input sandbox
with the -f option of gbasf2
:
>>> gbasf2 ./steering.py -p project -i dataset -f myanalysis.so myanalysis.b2modmap
Warning
This line implies that you already have working gbasf2
installation and gbasf2
syntax didn’t
change since the moment of writing. Please refer gbasf2 documentation for more details.
