Note on the implementation of the CMS Iterative Plugin The code is initially the CMSSW implementation in CMSIterativeConeAlgorithm.cc in /CMSSW/RecoJets/JetAlgorithms (more precisely, Revision 14 of the cc file) To avoid importing too many files from CMSSW, we did a couple of modifications starting from the CMSIterativeConeAlgorithm file: - directly used the FastJet PseudoJet instead of the InputItem present initially. Note that access to the info then has to be done using . instead of -> which implies a few small modifications here and there. - added a small piece of code to compute Et. That peice of code is the same as tracked down in the CMS code. It comes from the Root Lorentzvector, more precisely, the PxPyPzE4D implementation. - The ordering in Et, NumericSafeGreaterByEt, is imported from EtComparator.h in PhysicsTools/Utilities/ - The DeltaR2 computation is imported from DeltaR.cc and DeltaPhi.cc in CMSSW/DataFormats/Math - finally, instead of the ProtoJet construction, we use the ClusterSequence-compatible clustering. That one follows the line of what is done in the SISCone plugin. Note that ve've checked in the CMSSZ code that the protojet is indeed reconstructed using E-scheme recombination (while the stability test is done using Et-scheme) Finally, we want to thank Andreas Oehler for pointing us to the CMS code.
