[Rivet] possible issues with WFinder?

Hi Raghav,

it would help us a lot if you could implement both methods in a single 
minimal analysis cc file which is ready to be used, filling one histo each.

One difference I can see at the moment is that individual neutrinos 
aren't used in WFinder. It uses missing E.

See you,

Ive attached two invariant mass plots here and [1] is using the WFinder and [2] is what i estimate by hand. You can see a big difference in the distributions even for pp at 2.76 TeV. When we do our heavy ion events we lose a whole lot of Z's which are recovered by estimating by hand. Yes, there are a few differences in the two methods, but between 0.1 and 0.2 in delR and missing ET cut, i dont think it should be such a huge difference?
