Workings of Cutflow
Asked by
Amin Aboubrahim
Hi Benjamin,
I am trying to understand how MA5 implements the cut flow on signal and background to get S/B.
My backgrounds are weighted but I don't know how MA5 is using those weights. All I can see is that MA5 scales the cross-section by the luminosity and the result would be the number of events used in the cut flow.
Could you explain what happens behind the scene in MA5? How does it use the actual number of events and weights in the sample during the implementation of cuts?
Thank you,
Amin
