Loosened DMF for miniAOD taus #8421
Conversation
A new Pull Request was created by @andrewj314 (AJ Johnson) for CMSSW_7_4_X. Loosened DMF for miniAOD taus It involves the following packages: PhysicsTools/PatAlgos @cmsbuild, @vadler, @nclopezo, @monttj can you please review it and eventually sign? Thanks. |

how many more taus per event show up on ttbar sample? |
Comparing pre and post on 9k ttbar, it seeems there's some increase in taus but the new ones are somewhat smaller (maybe e.g. they have less pf candidates inside), so that in all the increase of size is fairly small (0.45 -> 0.63 kb/event). The slimming of taus had saved us ~0.1 kb/event, so I think it's all acceptable. |

It means that the hadronic tau has one of the allowed combinations of charged and neutral components - at the time of that release it had been either 1 track and 0/1/2 strips or 3 tracks. The PR by @andrewj314 allowed also other combinations with 2 tracks and strips in order to account for decreased efficiency that came with increased pileup. But anyway, it is almost 2 years old piece of sw, so it is probably outdated, so I suggest contacting tau conveners for more up-to-date info (I left CMS 1.5y ago ;)
