Hi everyone,

Rivet itself does not maintain particle data centrally. The particle 
table is a property of this specific LHCB analysis, see 'fillMap()' and 
'stablePDGIds'. The decision was made to encode exactly the data that 
was used by LHCB in their experimental analysis instead of linking to a 
time-varying library, so I would be skeptical about modifying this table 
at all. Any unknowns should probably be ignored.

Agreed:

setup eta(1405) 9020221 eta(1405) 1.4098 0.0511 0.38325 0 0 0 1 0

That is a reggeon, but what are you running that they show up? They only 
appear if you're running Pavel's diffraction code explicitly.

Yes, same here:

setup Xi(1690)- 13312 Xi(1690)- 1.69 0.01 0.085 0 -3 0 2 0
