Z+jets matching with misset cut 100 GeV

Hi,

> 1. Although I have not generated any Z+0 jet process, still I observe a 0 jet distribution in the DJR plots. It would be extremely helpful if you could explain that or provide a suitable reference regarding this.

The DJR are plotted for QCD jet, some of your diagram includes QED type of jet and therefore event that are associated by our code to such diagram are consider as 0j contribution for the matching/merging algorithm and are therefore consider as 0j contribution by the DJR.

> 2. The DJR2 plot doesn't seem to be continuous and I am getting a significant bump in the plot, the position of which varies with the value of xqcut.

Here are some suggestions:
1) increase the difference between xqcut and qcut, it sometimes happens that the default gap is not enough
2) In some case you have your ptmiss cut which is smaller than qcut (and sometimes even than xqcut) in those
case it does not make any sense to not include the 0j contribution
3) If you fail to have it smooth, you should remove your ptmiss cut and retry without such cut.

> 3. DJR3 and DJR4 plots are fine. However the DJR1 is terribly bumpy. I was wondering whether I should be bothered with the DJR1 plot as I have not generated any Z+0 jet process?

The DJR1 is obviously wrong due to missing the 0j sample. This is expected but this does not mean that this is correct.
(see above)

> 4.Would you recommend any xqcut range which will be suitable for the above mentioned process?

Do not really know actually.

Cheers,

Olivier
