tauRec: implement timing cut on cells that seed pi0 topoclustering

Bertrand Martin Dit Latour requested to merge martindl/athena:R22_tauClusterTiming into master

Hello,

This MR is implementing a timing cut on the cells that seed the pi0 topoclustering, as discussed at the reconstruction meeting. The timing cut for our standalone topoclustering is controlled with the same CaloRec flags as for standard topoclustering, with the exception of the hardcoded TimeCutUpperLimit value (currently, TimeCutUpperLimit is also hardcoded wherever used, this might be harmonised by introducing a new CaloRec flag if a same value suits all clients).

The MR was tested with q431 and q221 on 40 events. By default, as the timing cut is not enabled, the tau reconstruction output is unchanged. When switching it on (--preExec "RAWtoESD:from CaloRec.CaloTopoClusterFlags import jobproperties; jobproperties.CaloTopoClusterFlags.doTimeCut=True; jobproperties.CaloTopoClusterFlags.extendTimeCut=True; jobproperties.CaloTopoClusterFlags.useUpperLimitForTimeCut=True"), we do see a difference for q431. For q221, as this is without pileup, the observed stability is rather encouraging.

q431 without timing cut:

Too early to tell whether this is beneficial for taus :-), this will require in-depth studies based on true tau MC (gamma*->tautau and LLP->tau).

Tagging @mswiatlo , @camacho , @mspalla , @dportill , @qbuat , @dta .

Cheers, Bertrand
