Detailed Description

Particle matcher. 

Works with any kind of object with a p4 function. 

Simple example configuration: 

from heppy_fcc.analyzers.Matcher import Matcher
papas_jet_match = cfg.Analyzer(
  Matcher,
  instance_label = 'papas', 
  match_particles = 'gen_jets',
  particles = 'papas_jets'
)

particles: Name of the collection containing the particles to be matched. 
match_particles: Name of the collection containing the particles where a match 
           is to be found. 

In this particular case, each jet in "papas_jets" will end up with a new 
attribute called "match". This attribute can be either the closest gen jet in the 
"gen_jets" collection in case a gen_jet is found within delta R = 0.3, 
or None in case a match cannot be found in this cone.

More complex example configuration: 

papas_particle_match_g2r = cfg.Analyzer(
  Matcher,
  instance_label = 'papas_g2r', 
  particles = 'gen_particles_stable',
  match_particles = [
    ('papas_rec_particles', None),
    ('papas_rec_particles', 211),
    ('papas_rec_particles', 130),
    ('papas_rec_particles', 22)
  ] 
  )

In this case, each gen particle in gen_particles_stable will end up with the following 
new attributes: 
  - "match"    : closest reconstructed particle in "papas_rec_particles", if any. 
  - "match_211": closest reconstructed particle of pdgId 211 in "papas_rec_particles", 
                 if any. 
  - etc.
