Selection cut on transverse (missing) mass

Asked by Marko Mikulic

Dear experts,

I would like to impose a selection cut on the transverse mass at the generation level, say for p p > t t~ vt vt~. Is there a way to do it that's already implemented, or do I need to impose the cut by myself ? I have scrutinized the run_card, but I can't seem to find that option.

Thanks in advance !

Best regards,
Marko

I would try to use pt cut here.
But if that does not fit your need, then yes you will need to implement it yourself.

Cheers,
