Tweak HLT1 dimuon thresholds

Ross John Hunter requested to merge rjhunter-tweak-dimuon-thresholds into master

In this MR, we tweak the p and p_T thresholds of the DiMuonLowMass and DiMuonHighMass lines to reflect a more run-2 like scenario, as is discussed in #144 (closed). This is also useful for the Allen-Moore comparison, as the same changes to thresholds are being made there - see Allen!355 (merged) and the Allen HighMass line definition.

The new thresholds are

  • HighMass: P>6GeV && PT>500MeV
  • LowMass: P>3GeV && PT>500Mev

With these changes the HighMass line now fires happily on minbias (it pretty much never fired previously, even on signal samples), and the low mass rate is reduced to something a bit more sensible (~200 kHz).

FYI @apearce @cprouve @thboettc @gligorov @sstahl

Closes #144 (closed).
