Rivet release 2.5.3

A total of 18 new analyses have been added, covering experimental results from all four LHC collaborations, as well as a LEP jet and event shapes analysis, and several BSM search analyses using the new detector simulation features.

We are very pleased to release Rivet 2.5.3.

A total of 18 new analyses have been added, covering experimental results from all four LHC collaborations, as well as a LEP jet and event shapes analysis, and several BSM search analyses using the new detector simulation features.

In addition, the detector smearing machinery has been extended to include PID-specific tracking efficiencies and photon efficiencies based on Delphes’ tabulation (NB. both sets of efficiencies are identical between ATLAS and CMS!), and a bug has been fixed in how the SmearedJets projection handles tagging efficiencies.

Finally, a ‘keyword’ mechanism has been introduced to the ‘rivet’ script to allow convenient calling of groups of related analyses; MissingMomentum now provides ‘p’ as well as ‘E’ kinematics; and a number of small bugfixes and syntactic/interface improvements have been made.
