    // Be very careful when using the default Candidate functions (.mass, .mt, .et, etc). They may not be what you are looking for :-).

    // Example: Candidates have a mt() function which computes the tranverse mass from E & pz.
    // As MET does not have pz information... WMuNuCandidatePtrs have an alternative function used in the WMuNu Inclusive Analysis
    // to compute mt just from px, py:
    // Transverse Mass from px, py:
    double massT() const;
    // Transverse Energy from px, py:
    double eT() const;
