[Rivet] bug in ATLAS_2014_I1325553 (inclusive jets)

[Vojtech Pleskot]

Dear all,

    I am sorry to quickly have agreed with something that I do not fully understand. My reasoning was based on the 2010 ATLAS inclusive jet cross section routine where they use the 0.5 factor and they add a comment that the reason is measurement in d|y|. See  https://rivet.hepforge.org/trac/browser/src/Analyses/ATLAS_2010_S8817804.cc
    Best regards

Vojtech

That is the normalisation factor ( = cross section / sum of weights), i.e.

AMI xsec = 2.9675E+07 * 1000.
SumOfWeights = 1.5358320748e+19
--> scale factor = 1.9321773836416558e-09

which I calculated manually at the time, without using the finalise method.

That makes sense. I wonder nothing really has changed in the code since then.

Peter, would you be able to run H++ with an earlier version of rivet to
see if there is the same discrepancy or not?

Cheers,

Hmm, there is a scale attribute in the source files of the plots:

E.g. in http://cgutscho.web.cern.ch/cgutscho/ATLAS_2014_I1325553/d01-x01-y02.dat:

# BEGIN HISTOGRAM /Users/geon/Documents/rivetArea/stdm2013_11_inclusiveJets/mc.yoda/ATLAS_2014_I1325553/d01-x01-y02
LineColor={[HTML]{EE3311}}
LineStyle=solid
Path=/Users/geon/Documents/rivetArea/stdm2013_11_inclusiveJets/mc.yoda/ATLAS_2014_I1325553/d01-x01-y02
Scale=1.9321773836416558e-09
Title=MC
XLabel=
YLabel=

Can you find out what that Scale thing was for/from?

Thanks,
Holger

Christian,

do you think you can still find the validation plots from back then?

Dear Christian,

  So I was comparing the results with the latest version of Heriwg++ as part of our testing before the next release and we were much further off than I expected. After looking at the analysis and the paper I believed the paper was plotting d sigma /dy/dpT and the analysis d sigma/d|y|/dpT which differ by the factor of 1/2. I contacted Vojtech and he agreed it was wrong so I made the change.

  If it is wrong we can change it back

Best Wishes

Peter

Subject: bug in ATLAS_2014_I1325553 (inclusive jets)

Dear Rivet authors,

it looks like a bug has been introduced in the current trunk version of the ATLAS inclusive jets measurement (the version from the last release is fine). Specifically, the normalisation factor in the finalise routine has been modified:

https://rivet.hepforge.org/trac/browser/src/Analyses/ATLAS_2014_I1325553.cc#L83

to include an additional factor of 0.5 -- apparently to fix an issue with the normalisation.

There should be no such factor as absolute rapidity has been used consistently throughout the analysis and such a factor is only really necessary if absolute and signed rapidities are being mixed (axis label vs cross section differential).

Note that the original version (without 0.5) has been validated and no issues with the normalisation have been observed, so I would recommend to unfix this again. :-)


Many thanks,
Chris
