Add invariant mass filter for generic objects in LHE events (backport)

[JanFSchulte]

This adds a LHE event filter that can cut on the invariant mass of particles of a specific type. Needed to produced high mass tail samples with Powheg for Snowmass.

This is a backport of #35938 to the release used for Snowmass sample production.

@JanFSchulte CMSSW_11_0_X is closed since a while already. Can you please confirm that the release intended for the productions for Snowmass is really 11_0_X, and that there was no mistake in it?

And at that point, what's the plan? Do you need that such an old release get resurrected and a patch is built with this PR of yours? Or is it enough to have it coded here, and you'll apply it without the need of an actual (patch) release?

Please add some detail/explanation here (possibly in the PR description)

[JanFSchulte]

@perrotta maybe @Saptaparna can confirm this again, but according to her 11_0_X is the release used and for which this backport is needed. If an new release is needed or if this PR can be applied on the fly during production is also something the GEN conveners would need to comment on.

[Saptaparna]

Yes, we would like this to be back ported to 11X so Snowmass samples can be submitted.

[qliphy]

@Saptaparna Is there any campaign using 11_0_X? Or is it just private production? If it is mainly for Delphes, can one use master 12_X then?

[agrohsje]

hi @qliphy. there are 2 dedicated snowmass campaigns:
https://cms-pdmv.cern.ch/mcm/campaigns?cmssw_release=CMSSW_11_0*&page=0&shown=63
using 11_0.

@JanFSchulte, could you propagate the changes from 91fb6d9, we will sign it once its done. thank you!

[qliphy]

ping @JanFSchulte

[perrotta]

@JanFSchulte could you please take the required action: the release is waiting for this PR to be merged

@SiewYan please let us know if this PR is really deemed necessary for the new 11_X release: if not, we can cut it now, and remove this PR from the 11_X queue (since we don't plan further 11_X release after the forthcoming one)

[agrohsje]

Hi @perrotta , both PR's (this and the one that just pinged us) are for snowmass and the snowmass production campaign. :-(

[SiewYan]

Gentle reminder @JanFSchulte

[JanFSchulte]

Based on feedback we got from UPSG, it looks like we can do our snowmass extrapolations without the samples this filter would have been needed for. I'll close this PR.

[agrohsje]

Hi @qliphy @perrotta , as this PR is no needed anymore for UPSG, please proceed with building the new release for 11_0. Thanks so much.
