EDMUtils

Detailed Description

A bunch of functions for interactions with EDM files and enhancing the use of EDM function and classes in EDM analysis general. These include:

• new exectuable function for ease-of-access to the information in the EDM files. This includes:
  • DumpLHERunInfo Dumping the generation information on screen for user inspection.
  • DumpLumiCount.py Dumping the event, lumisection and run count of a list of edm files.
  • DumpGenParticles.cc Dumping the generator topology of a certain event.
• classes aimed to enhance the usability of edm plugins, including
  • usr::Counter: A new type to be understood by the framework to allow for run level variable caching
  • usr::PluginAlias: An intermediate class aiming to reduce the verbosity of plugin methods.
• Standalone plugins for common calculation independent of analysis needs, such as weight summing. Including:
  • GenWeightCounter: for summing and caching generation uncertainty weights.
  • WeightProdSum: for calculating the product of a set of weights in an event and taking the sum for a run level cache.

As the package name implies, these features require the EDM framework to function, and thus will not be compiled outside of the CMSSW environment.
