Removed global event cut from inclusive detached dilepton and cut-based trigger lines

Martin Tat requested to merge rd-devel-gec-remove-mtat into rd-devel

The global event cut (GEC) is removed to improve signal efficiency in b->xll modes of the inclusive detached dilepton lines (IDDL) and cut-based lines.

Total rates of all RD full stream lines:

Before change: 11.1 kHz

After removing GEC for IDDL only: 12.8 kHz

After removing GEC for IDDL and cut-based lines: 13.8 kHz

Attached are the rates for each line:

After removing IDDL for IDDL and cutbased lines

In !4168 (merged), some acceptance cuts for dielectrons were added. These cuts reduces the rate significantly by rejecting candidates where electrons are outside the ECAL acceptance or don't have ECAL information. When putting these requirements into both IDDL and cut-based lines, the rate reduces to 11.5 kHz.

After removing IDDL and cutbased lines, with ECAL acceptance cuts

Note that in order to put these ECAL acceptance cuts into the cut-based lines, the make_detached_mue_with_brem builder had to be replaced with make_rd_detached_dielectron builder, with some minor changes.
