Step 4: Extractor2Dataset

Presentation

plotIt_mtt> cd ../Extractor2Dataset

The aim of this step is to convert the Extractuples into datasets. At the end, you generate different datasets for data, MC (background) and signal.

The script that fills this role is Extractor2Dataset.cpp. You can feed the script directly with the Extractuples lists or with the skims you created in step 1. The python files correspond to the configuration files which have to be tuned to run on your own datasets.

How to use it

First merge the Z' signal skims 2 by 2 (the nominal one and the extended one) for each mass and each width, for example:

Extractor2Dataset> cd ../PreSkim/skims/<aDate>/semimu/
semimu> hadd Signal_ZPrimeToTTJets_M1500GeV_W15GeV_merged_skims_nominal.root Signal_ZPrimeToTTJets_M1500GeV_W15GeV_ext_skims_nominal.root Signal_ZPrimeToTTJets_M1500GeV_W15GeV_skims_nominal.root

Then, follow the instructions given in step 2 for Extractor2Histo.
