Currently, the 1st stage of the electron finder (
ElectronReconstruction
) implicitly makes use of truth information by way of its input, the output of theMatchClusters
algorithm. An important step will be removing this dependence on truth information.Furthermore, a point discussed during the July 2024 UGM eID/Reconstruction workfest was that the existing
ElectronReconstruction
algorithm could be evolved into a more general calorimeter-based lepton/hadron discriminator.The former point can addressed while laying the groundwork for the latter by wiring in a judicious choice of inputs/outputs (c.f. edm4eic#97).
Describe the solution you'd like
A natural choice of inputs would be the
TrackClusterAssociation
s of edm4eic#52 produced by a centralized track-cluster matching algorithm (c.f. EICrecon#1648). Then, by having theElectronReconstruction
outputChargedRecoParticleCandidate
s would allow it to be wired into more general PF routines, functioning as a lepton/hadron discriminator.Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, the truth information can be excised by replacing
MatchClusters
with a more suitable PF algorithm. However, this is less desirable as the existing outputs might make it more challenging to evolve into the lepton/hadron discriminator.Additional context
This falls into the Reconstruction WG's eID/PFA development program.
