Supporting Classes and Cut Numbers

More information on cutstrings

To handle all the different possibilities to select our photons and neutral meson candidates we make use of a "cutstring" for the event cuts, conversion cuts, calo cuts and meson cuts. Changing for example a minimum energy threshold for your analysis will be done by changing a digit in the corresponding cutstring. It is recommended to open the classes in parallel so you can easily navigate around to find which digit corresponds to which cut.

Conversion cut:

cuts.AddCut("80000113", "00200009327000008250404000", "0162103500900000");

Calo cut:

cuts.AddCut("80000113","1111141057032230000","01631031000000d0");

ConvCalo cut:

cuts.AddCut("82400113","00200009327000008250400000","1111141057032230000","0163103100000010");
