Reoptimisation of Charm HLT2 selections for 2025

There some lines which potentially can be problematic due to their large bandwidth (BW) or rate. The idea will be to retune those lines/selections in benefit of the WG bandwidth consumption. For the different authors, if you want please comment directly on possible cause what could be done to improve (reduce rate/bandwidth) the selection.

Please also take a look at your line in the overlap matrix, and check how many lines overlap with your line. Is it possible to reduce/remove it?

Line Problem Module Author Possible cause
First 10 Charm lines with largest BW
Hlt2Charm_HccppToLcpPpKmPip_RSWSDecision Line with largest BW: 200 Hz + 0.4 MB event size hexaquarks @ipolyako Uses combiner without any DOCA, could add it help with event size and duplication?
Hlt2Charm_Lb0ToLcpPimPimPip_LcpToPpPimPipDecision Large BW: 270 Hz + 0.32 MB event size cbaryon_to_sl @msaur @ziyiw Cuts sound reasonable. Probably due to large combinatorics with 6 particle final state
Hlt2Charm_HcppToPpPpKs_LL_RSWSDecision Large rate: 722 Hz hexaquarks @ipolyako It looks like only an invariant mass cut is applied in the Hcpp builder - can more cuts be applied?
Hlt2Charm_HcpToPpPpKsPim_LL_RSWSDecision Large rate: 593 Hz hexaquarks @ipolyako Only an invariant mass cut is applied - a simple DOCA + quality vertex could help reduce rate, since it's a 4-track vertex
Hlt2Charm_Lb0ToLcpPim_LcpToPEta_EtaToPipPimGDecision Large rate: 955 Hz cbaryon_to_ph0_btag @yangjie Neutrals are probably the problem here. I would ask author if cuts can be tightened
Hlt2Charm_DstpToD0Pip_D0ToKmPip_LowBiasDecision Large rate: 2000 Hz d0_to_hh @fhblanc @gpunzi @mimorell @nkleijne @smaccoli @tpajero This is not trivial, as the line is important for some analyses and has a significant signal rate
Hlt2Charm_B0bToDpPipPimPim_DpToKpKmPipDecision Large event size: 0.5 MB cmeson_to_sl_btag @yangjie Selections look reasonable. There's a 6 particle final state and this probably causes overlap with other lines. Can selections be tightened?
Hlt2Charm_XimToL0Pim_VeloMatch_SPDecision Large rate: 1380 Hz hyperons @mstahl @ziyiw Looks quite "exotic", I think selections can be tightened with small effort
Hlt2Charm_HcspToPpPpKmKs_LL_RSWSDecision Large BW: 390 Hz + 215 kB event size hexaquarks @ipolyako Combiner has only mass cuts again. Ask for additional cuts to reduce rate and overlap?
Hlt2Charm_Lb0ToLcpPimPimPip_LcpToPpKmPipDecision Large even size: 0.64 MB cbaryon_to_sl @msaur @ziyiw A 6 particle final state again- probably large duplication. Can cuts be tightened?
Hlt2Charm_DspToKsKp_LL_ADetDecision Large rate: 1230 Hz detection_asymmetry_lines @ldufour @smaccoli Specific line for ADet measurement - can it be prescaled?
Comment: hexaquarks module needs to be revised in general - several lines in the first 10 and others are present as well
Other problematic lines
Hlt2Charm_XibmToXic0PipPimPim_Xic0ToXimPip_LLLDecision Huge event size: 1.5/2 MB cbaryon_to_sl @msaur @ziyiw Not sure if the BW is actually this large. Exclusive rate is zero and rate value suggests very low statistics passing selections. Could it be an artifact of the test?
Hlt2Charm_ObmToOc0PipPimPim_Oc0ToXimPip_LLLDecision Huge event size: 1.5/2 MB cbaryon_to_sl @msaur @ziyiw Not sure if the BW is actually this large. Exclusive rate is zero and rate value suggests very low statistics passing selections. Could it be an artifact of the test?
Hlt2Charm_HccppToDpPpPpKm_RSWSDecision Huge event size: 1.5/2 MB hexaquarks @ipolyako Not sure if the BW is actually this large. Exclusive rate is zero and rate value suggests very low statistics passing selections. Could it be an artifact of the test?
Hlt2Charm_ObmToOc0PipPimPim_Oc0ToOmPip_LLLDecision Huge event size: 1.5/2 MB cbaryon_to_sl @msaur @ziyiw Not sure if the BW is actually this large. Exclusive rate is zero and rate value suggests very low statistics passing selections. Could it be an artifact of the test?
Hlt2Charm_XibmToXic0PipPimPim_Xic0ToL0PimPip_LLDecision Huge event size: 1.5/2 MB cbaryon_to_sl @msaur @ziyiw Not sure if the BW is actually this large. Exclusive rate is zero and rate value suggests very low statistics passing selections. Could it be an artifact of the test?
Other lines with the same configurations are present (0 exclusive rate and huge event size) - to be checked
Hlt2Charm_DpDspToKmPipPipDecision Huge rate: 8350 Hz d_to_hhh @fsouzade @polye @smaccoli Not clear. Cuts looks tuned, can these be tuned? I think cross-checking this with authors is the best solution
Hlt2Charm_DpDspToKmKpPipDecision Huge rate: 4900 Hz d_to_hhh @fsouzade @polye @smaccoli Not clear. Cuts looks tuned, can these be tuned? I think cross-checking this with authors is the best solution
Hlt2Charm_DstpToD0Pip_D0ToPimPipGDecision Huge rate: 1230 Hz d0_to_hhgamma @jbrodzic Neutrals?
Hlt2Charm_PspToPpPipPim_RSWSDecision Huge rate: 3530 Hz hexaquarks @ipolyako No cuts again
Hlt2Charm_Dst0ToD0EmEp_D0ToKmPip_SSDecision Huge rate: 1330 Hz dst_to_dee @cacochat SS is used to model the combinatorial background, the thing is it has large combinatorics, some tighter cuts could be applied

FYI: @tpajero @fbetti
