SLB: Developments towards JuneTS

Description

Improve HLT2 throughput and signal purity by working on selections for "worst" combiners (those that make the most combinations) identified in the SLB trigger.

  • Add GEC requirement on nFTClusters < 14000 (limit on the number of SciFi clusters) for hadronic tau lines to reduce combinatorics
  • Increase MaxCandidates in Sprucing to avoid reaching the combination limit when doing the isolation
  • Change 0.2<OWNPVFDRHO<5.0 to 0.3<OWNPVFDRHO<8.0 (radial flight distance cut from PV) for hadronic tau builder to reduce the multiple candidates without losing efficiency from MC simulation
  • Add p_T>1GeV OR ghostprob(\pi_{1})+ghostprob(\pi_{2})+ghostprob(\pi_{3})<0.2 requirement for hadronic tau builder from this study from @amathad
  • Add requirement to remove multiple tau candidates from the region close to the z axis: NOT(\eta > 3.8 && p_T < 2500 MeV)
  • Add requirement on parent particle for hadronic tau decay OWNPVFDRHO>0.4
  • Set proton momentum cut larger than 10 GeV when the PID requirement is applied.
  • Apply @mrudolph suggestions to tune baryonic charm builders: Kaons PID_K>2 (before was PID_K>0), protons PID_P>5, (PID_P - PID_K) > 2.0 (before was PID_P>5, (PID_P - PID_K) > 2.0), tightening children MINIPCHI2>6 (before was MINIPCHI2>4), tighten VTXCHI2<4 (before was VTXCHI2<6)
  • Further prescale HLT2 MuonDecayInFlight lines from 4% to 2% (Spruce prescale will still be 50%)
  • Remove downstream B\to l\gamma lines and retune the LL lines
  • Tune B_s\to Ke\nu lines and further prescale background lines
  • Add radial distance cut as default to charm builders OWNPVFDRHO>0.3

Expected BW improvement

Measured on 2025 data locally, wrt SPRUCE full stream

Changes BW rate COMMENTS
Central branch (ci-test results) -5.27% -8.33% NOT RELIABLE (BUG ON RADIAL FD CUT)
With !4994 (merged) and !5023 (merged) -9.3%) -6.5% RELIABLE
