Rivet release 2.5.1

This patch release adds a new projection for smearing missing transverse energy in addition to the jet and identified-particle smearing machinery (for non-unfolded BSM analyses) first introduced in Rivet 2.5.0.

We are very pleased to release Rivet 2.5.1 and the YODA histogramming package v1.6.3.

This patch release adds a new projection for smearing missing transverse energy in addition to the jet and identified-particle smearing machinery (for non-unfolded BSM analyses) first introduced in Rivet 2.5.0.

In addition it adds more internal sophistication to the smearing machinery, useful new particle classifier machinery for convenient passing of cuts, filtering functions, and smearing functions. This allows even more expressive one-liners and neater, more compact analysis code, e.g. in studying particle decays.

We have also fixed several bugs and enhanced the plotting machinery, the utility functions, the search path handling, etc., and have validated several older but incomplete analyses.

This version is recommended for immediate use: please update asap! The next release, 2.5.2, will focus on adding LHC BSM analysis codes demonstrating the new smearing features.
