With this PR I propose the "Cheated" version of the
MvaCharacterisationAlgorithmused to classify track-like and shower-like objects.The idea for this approach, differently to the already present
CheatingPfoCharacterisationAlgorithm, is to return a similar "score" value after the reconstruction, so the Cheated algorithm can be used without altering the downstream event selection, but still using the "track" score informationThe
CheatingMvaPfoCharacterisationAlgorithmis essentially identical to theMvaPfoCharacterisationAlgorithm, without needing theMvaFileNametag, theMvaNametag, theMvaFileNameNoChargeInfotag and theMvaNameNoChargeInfo.This algorithm retains the computation of the Pfo features.
To correctly handle the cases where electron do behave like tracks (i.e., when their energy is lower than the critical energy, which is 30.5 MeV for LAr 1) the
CriticalEnergytag is added, so it is possible to set (in GeV) the value, if different from 30.5 MeV (default value).Footnotes
