Cut on transverse momentum difference between mu and e

Asked by Robert Morgan

Hello MA5 team,

I am wondering if there is a simple way to implement a cut that requires pt(muon) > pt(electron). If that is possible in MA5, how would you enter it? I'm thinking one way to do what I want would be to write my own code to analyze LHE files, but at the moment I am wondering if MA5 has that capability already, and could save me some time.

Thank you!

Robert

Hi Robert,

Can you please try
  select sdPT(mu[1] e[1]) > 0
This should do the required job, as sdPT is the scalar difference between the pt of the leading muon and the pt of the leading electron.

Cheers,

Benjamin
