How to apply cuts to final state leptons (after 2 decays)?
I am not doing a very good job of applying cuts to my final state leptons.
The process is;
``` generate p p > t t~, (t > b w+, (w+ > l+ vl)), (t~ > b~ w-, (w- > j j)) ```
And I would like the leptons in the final state (that decay from the w+) to have rapidity less than 2.4.
My run card contains;
```
#*****
# Apply pt/E/eta/
# (note that etmiss/
#*****
True = cut_decays ! Cut decay products
```
and also
```
#******
# Maximum and minimum absolute rapidity (for max, -1 means no cut) *
#******
5.0 = etaj ! max rap for the jets
-1.0 = etab ! max rap for the b
2.4 = etal ! max rap for the charged leptons
0.0 = etabmin ! min rap for the b
0.0 = etalmin ! main rap for the charged leptons
{11: 2.4| 13: 2.4} = eta_min_pdg ! rap cut for other particles (use pdg code). Applied on particle and anti-particle
{} = eta_max_pdg ! rap cut for other particles (syntax e.g. {6: 2.5, 23: 5})
```
But for some reason the lepton that decays from the W is still varying in rapidity a lot. Is there something else I need to do to make the cut apply?
Many thanks,
Henry
