New HLT2 SMOG2 DD line for Ks and Lambda & cut updates

Oscar Boente Garcia requested to merge hlt2-smog2-pA-updates into master

This MR includes a series of updates to the HLT2 trigger lines for SMOG2 proton-gas operation. The updates include:

  • Two new trigger lines for KS and Lambda reconstructed with two downstream tracks (Hlt2IFT_SMOG2KS2PiPiDD, Hlt2IFT_SMOG2Lambda02PPiDD), and a low mass dimuon same-sign line (Hlt2IFT_SMOG2LowDiMuonSS).
  • Renaming of the previous KS and Lambda lines (Hlt2IFT_SMOG2Lamda02PPi, Hlt2IFT_SMOG2KS2PiPi) to (Hlt2IFT_SMOG2Lambda02PPiLL, Hlt2IFT_SMOG2KS2PiPiLL).
  • Improving selection of the Hlt2IFT_SMOG2Lambda02PPiLL and Hlt2IFT_SMOG2KS2PiPiLL lines to reduce throughtput. A requirement in BPVIPchi2 of the parent is added, as well as a filter on the Lambda0 mass window (KS line) and KS mass window (Lambda line) using the wrong-mass functor. Requirements were tuned and tested with 2022 commissioning data.
  • Removal of CC in lines where it creates duplicated candidates (Jpsi, Ks, Upsilon...).
  • Tighten cuts and prescaling of hidden-charm lines (4K, 4pi and 2pi2K final-states) to reduce high throughput.
  • Minimum-bias line Hlt2IFT_SMOG2GECPassthrough now uncommented since hlt1_filter_code works
  • Add two new passthrough lines for HLT1 decisions: Hlt2IFT_SMOG2LumiPassthrough (passthrough for low multiplicity lines for pe scattering method), Hlt2IFT_SMOG2MBPassthrough (passthrough on HLT1 minimum bias lines, already prescaled in HLT1 and needed for some analyses)
  • Prescaling of 1% of both SMOG2 HLT2 minimum-bias lines (Hlt2IFT_SMOG2GECPassthrough and Hlt2IFT_SMOG2Passthrough_PV_in_SMOG2)
  • Updates for 2023 data: enlarge PVz window of SMOG2 (to -700,-300) and IP cut of daughters in D0->K-pi+ line is relaxed (to compensate the worse IP resolution with open VELO)

The line throughput has been tested with a series of simulation MB samples, using the HLT2 PV reconstruction algorithm PatPV3DFuture and without including the UT in the reconstruction:

  • Throughput tests with simulation with expected 2023 conditions with PV distribution in SMOG2 and à la SMOG1, and with standalone pAr and pAr+pp: throughput_2023.pdf). Throughputs are shown with HLT2 standalone and HLT2 throughput of a HLT1-filtered dst.
  • Throughput tests with simulation with embedded D0->Kpi and Jpsi->mumu signals with expected 2023 conditions with PV distribution in SMOG2 (pAr standalone): throughput_2023_D0Jpsi.pdf
  • Throughtput tests with 2022 conditions, with standalone pAr and pAr+pp: throughput_2022.pdf (also HLT2 standalone and after HLT1 filtering).

Additionally, in order to test the Downstream-Downstream KS and Lambda lines, the lines have also been tested with older private MC samples with Upgrade datatype and using the UT in the reconstruction: throughput_withUT.pdf

All the throughput values are reasonable, and in all cases lower than for current HLT2 SMOG2 lines.
