11.2.1. Physics skims

B → charm skims

List of functions to skim events containing \(B\to X_c + h\) decays, where \(X_c\) stays for \(D^0\), \(D^{\pm}\), \(D^{*0}\) and \(D^{*\pm}\), and \(h\) stays for \(\pi^{\pm}\), \(K^{\pm}\), \(\rho^{\pm}\) and \(a_1^{\pm}\).

This skim includes a selection on the HLT flag hlt_hadron.

Reconstructed decay modes:

Cuts applied:

• Mbc > 5.2

This skim uses skim.standardlists.charm.loadStdD0_Kpipi0, where the \(\bar{D}^{0}\) channel is defined.

produce_on_tau_samples = False

If this property is set to False, then b2skim-prod will not produce data production requests for this skim on taupair MC samples. This decision may be made for one of two reasons:

• The retention rate of the skim on taupair samples is basically zero, so there is no point producing the skim for these samples.

• The retention rate of the skim on taupair samples is too high (>20%), so the production system may struggle to handle the jobs.

Charm physics skims

Skim list building functions for charm analyses.

Note

The Hp, Hm and Jm in the function name represent arbitrary charged particles with positive or negative charge. The Hp and Jm in XToD0_D0ToHpJm, mean a positive particle and a negative particle that could be either conjugate or non-conjugate. The Hp and Hm in DstToD0Pi_D0ToHpHmPi0, mean a positive particle and a negative particle that must be conjugate.

Note

Although reconstructDecay() would automatically include charged conjugate channel, and D0 is not distinguishable from anti-D0 in XToD0 skim, both \(D^0 \to f\) and \(D^0 \to \overline{f}\) mode should be written explicitly in XToD0 skim, because later in the DstToD0Pi skim, the D0 decay strings in XToD0 skim would be directly combined with pi+. For example, if one only include D0 -> K+ pi- in XToD0_D0ToHpJm skim, then in DstToD0Pi_D0ToHpJm skim, only the D*+ -> [D0 -> K+ pi-] pi+ would be included, and D*+ -> [D0 -> K- pi+] pi+ would not be included.

Dict of str -> function pairs to determine if any special data structures should be merged when combining skims. Currently, this is only used to merge FEI config parameters when running multiple FEI skims at once, so that it can be run just once with all the necessary arguments.

• \(2~{\rm GeV}<E_{\text{cleaned tracks & clusters in ECL}}<7~{\rm GeV}\)

We define “cleaned” tracks and clusters as:

• Cleaned tracks (pi+:FEI_cleaned): \(d_0 < 0.5~{\rm cm}\), \(|z_0| < 2~{\rm cm}\), and \(p_T > 0.1~{\rm GeV}\) * Cleaned ECL clusters (gamma:FEI_cleaned): \(0.296706 < \theta < 2.61799\), and \(E>0.1~{\rm GeV}\)

produce_on_tau_samples = False

If this property is set to False, then b2skim-prod will not produce data production requests for this skim on taupair MC samples. This decision may be made for one of two reasons:

• The retention rate of the skim on taupair samples is basically zero, so there is no point producing the skim for these samples.

• The retention rate of the skim on taupair samples is too high (>20%), so the production system may struggle to handle the jobs.

static run_fei_for_skims(FEIChannelArgs, FEIPrefix, analysisGlobaltag, *, path)

Reconstruct hadronic and semileptonic \(B^0\) and \(B^+\) tags using the generically trained FEI.

Parameters

• FEIChannelArgs (dict(str, bool)) – A dict of keyword-boolean pairs to be passed to fei.get_default_channels.

• FEIPrefix (str) – Prefix label for the FEI training used in the FEI skims.

• path (basf2.Path) – The skim path to be processed.

Tag side \(B\) cuts:

• \(M_{\text{bc}} > 5.24~{\rm GeV}\)

• \(|\Delta E| < 0.2~{\rm GeV}\)

All available FEI \(B^0\) and \(B^+\) hadronic tags are reconstructed. From Thomas Keck’s thesis, “the channel \(B^0 \to \overline{D}^0 \pi^0\) was used by the FR, but is not yet used in the FEI due to unexpected technical restrictions in the KFitter algorithm”.

build_lists(path)

Create the skim lists to be saved in the output uDST. This function is where the main skim cuts should be applied. This function should return a list of particle list names.

Parameters

produce_on_tau_samples = False

If this property is set to False, then b2skim-prod will not produce data production requests for this skim on taupair MC samples. This decision may be made for one of two reasons:

• The retention rate of the skim on taupair samples is basically zero, so there is no point producing the skim for these samples.

• The retention rate of the skim on taupair samples is too high (>20%), so the production system may struggle to handle the jobs.

produce_on_tau_samples = False

If this property is set to False, then b2skim-prod will not produce data production requests for this skim on taupair MC samples. This decision may be made for one of two reasons:

• The retention rate of the skim on taupair samples is basically zero, so there is no point producing the skim for these samples.

• The retention rate of the skim on taupair samples is too high (>20%), so the production system may struggle to handle the jobs.
