Merging cross section

Hi,

You can not use "2454" since that one has serious double counting.

For the other three, they are apriori all good/bad. You have to check the DJR plot to see if the removal of the double counting is working well and then you can decide.
In top of that, such removal should be associated to an uncertainty which in your case seems very large.

Note that you are in a difficult case since you have a jet in the lowest multiplicity. Is there any reason for doing that? Did you double check your cut (what is the value auto_ptj_mjj for example)?

Cheers,

Olivier

Dear Oliver
Thanks for your reply.
I used the default values in the run card for the
analysis,Ptj=20,Xqcut=30,mmjj=0.

Then I do not see the point to not include the zero jet multiplicity.

If you want to discard such multiplicity, you need at minimum pt cut on at least one jet
(ptj1min) and you need obviously that such cut should be much larger than QCUT (and therefore much larger than xqcut)

Your high dependency in the QCUT variation is likely related to that choice of parameter/process.

Cheers,

Olivier

Dear Oliver
What do you mean by mjj , is it the same as min invariant mass of a jet
pair (mmjj)?
I did not find anything related to multiplicity in my run card.
I am attaching my run card with this email. Kindly have a look at it

HI,

I was refering to those line in the run_card

True = auto_ptj_mjj ! Automatic setting of ptj and mjj if xqcut >0

                                  ! (turn off for VBF and single top

Cheers,

Olivier
