PH4100 MSci Project - Simulated event samples
General comments
All samples for this project are simulated at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and correspond to the 2017 configuration for both the ATLAS detector and the LHC.
(Technical details: August 2019 ntuple production, with release 21.2.86; L2 ntuples, i.e. small ntuples, only 308 variables. Ntuple production was done by Dave Thomas in November/December 2019. All the necessary weights are already included in the ntuples. This includes, specifically, weight_normalise, therefore no need to calculate it on the fly.)
The samples are specifically for the ttH (H-bb) dilepton channel analysis, and are pre-selected by number of leptons (2), number of b-tagged jets at 85% working point, etc.
The samples are all available on linappserv from the directory
/scratch2/ptd/ATLAS/MC2017-new/
The specific samples for this project are in the following root files:

Signal sample: ttH
28844653644 Nov 25 2019 ttH_PoPy8_FS_17.root
The signal sample was generated with PowHeg + PYTHIA 8, and it includes all Higgs decays.
Specific Higgs decays can be selected using the information given here: selecting a specific Higgs decay mode.
(This sample includes 3 DSIDs: mostly events from 34345 ("2l"), but also some events with two reconstructed leptons from 346343 ("0l") and 346344 ("1l").)
Background samples
ttbar
113789188425 Nov 25 2019 ttbar_PP8_dil_AFII_17.root
The ttbar background consists of a top + anti-top quark pair, with additional jets. The sample was generated with PowHeg + PYTHIA 8 (5FS = five-flavour scheme). Note that "dil" in the filenames does not mean that only the dilepton final state was generated; it means that these are the ntuples for the dilepton analysis. This sample includes all of tt + light jets, tt + c-jets and tt + b-jets. The channels included in this sample are: "all hadronic", "non-all hadronic" and "dilepton"; the first two are orthogonal samples, but "non-all hadronic" includes "dilepton" events. For the dilepton analysis there are two main options: either use just the "dilepton" DSIDs, or use all three channels; for the latter it is therefore necessary to remove overlapping dilepton phase space - this is done using the truth_top_dilep_filter variable in the ntuples.
tt+bb
14294844001 Nov 26 2019 ttbb_AFII_17.root
This is a dedicated sample for the production of a top-antitop-quark pair plus a b and anti-b pair (4FS = four-flavour scheme). If this sample is used (which is recommended, as this is the main background) the overlap with the tt+bb events already included in the "ttbar" sample above has to be removed. This is done using the HF_SimpleClassification variable in the ntuples.
single top
579382465 Nov 25 2019 singletop_FS_17.root
Single top-quark production.
ttV
7258968528 Nov 25 2019 ttV_FS_17.root
Production of a top + anti-top-quark pair with an associated gauge boson (V = W or Z).
ttWW3t4t
322521794 Nov 25 2019 ttWW3t4t_tWZ_FS_17.root
This sample includes several rare processes with top-quarks: ttWW, 3t and 4t, as well as tWZ.
W+jets, Z+jets
9473426 Nov 25 2019 Wjets_FS_17.root
2987049890 Nov 25 2019 Zjets_FS_17.root
Production of a single W or Z gauge boson, with additional jets.
di-boson
497478705 Nov 25 2019 diboson_FS_17.root
Production of two heavy gauge bosons: WW, WZ and ZZ.
