These are primarily code changes relevant for calling HEJ as an API. This file should only be read as an addition to [`Changes.md`](Changes.md), where the main features are documented. ## Version 2.1 ### 2.1.0 #### Changes to Event class * Restructured `Event` class - `Event` can now only be build from a (new) `Event::EventData` class - Removed default constructor for `Event` - `Event::EventData` replaces the old `UnclusteredEvent` struct. - `UnclusteredEvent` is now deprecated, and will be removed in HEJ Version 2.3.0 - Removed `Event.unclustered()` function - Added new member function `Events.parameters()`, to directly access (underlying) `Parameters` - New member functions `begin_partons`, `end_partons` (`rbegin_partons`, `rend_partons`) with aliases `cbegin_partons`, `cend_partons` (`crbegin_partons`, `crend_partons`) for constant (reversed) iterators over outgoing partons. * New function `Event::EventData.reconstruct_intermediate()` to reconstruct bosons from decays, e.g. `positron + nu_e => Wp` - Only supports 1-boson or `WpWp` events. - - In the case of WpWp same-flavour reconstruction minimises total off-shell momentum. + - In the case of WpWp same-flavour the reconstruction will minimise the total + off-shell momentum. * Added optional Colour charges to particles (`Particle.colour`) - Colour connection in the HEJ limit can be generated via `Event.generate_colours` (automatically done in the resummation) - Colour configuration of input events can be checked with `Event.is_leading_colour` * Added function `Event.valid_hej_state` to check if event _could have_ been produced by `HEJ` according to the `max ext soft pt fraction` cut on the jets #### New and updated functions * Renamed `EventType::nonHEJ` to `EventType::non_resummable` and `is_HEJ()` to `is_resummable()` such that run card is consistent with internal workings * Made `MatrixElement.tree_kin(...)` and `MatrixElement.tree_param(...)` public * New `EventReweighter` member function `treatment` to query the treatment with respect to resummation for the various event types. * Added auxiliary functions to obtain a `std::string` from `EventDescription` (`to_string` for human readable, and `to_simple_string` for easy parsable string) * New `get_analyses` function to read in multiple `HEJ::Analysis` at once, similar to `get_analysis` * New `get_ew_parameters` function to extract electroweak parameters from YAML configuration. #### New classes * New class `Unweighter` to do unweighting * New class `CrossSectionAccumulator` to keep track of Cross Section of the different subprocess * New template struct `Parameters` similar to old `Weights` - `Weights` are now an alias for `Parameters`. Calling `Weights` did not change - `Weights.hh` was replaced by `Parameters.hh`. The old `Weights.hh` header will be removed in HEJ Version 2.2.0 * Function to multiplication and division of `EventParameters.weight` by double - This can be combined with `Parameters`, e.g. `Parameters*Weights`, see also `Events.parameters()` - Moved `EventParameters` to `Parameters.hh` header * new class `EWConstants` replaces previously hard coded `vev` - `EWConstants` have to be set in the general `Config` and the `MatrixElementConfig` #### Input/Output * New abstract `EventReader` class, as base for reading events from files - Moved LHE file reader to `HEJ::LesHouchesReader` * New (optional) function `finish()` in abstract class `EventWriter`. `finish()` is called _after_ all events are written. * Support reading (`HDF5Reader`) and writing (`HDF5Writer`) `hdf5` files * New `BufferedEventReader` class that allows to put events back into the reader. * New `SherpaLHEReader` to read Sherpa LHE files with correct weights * `get_analysis` now requires `YAML::Node` and `LHEF::HEPRUP` as arguments * Replaced `HepMCInterface` and `HepMCWriter` by `HepMCInterfaceX` and `HepMCWriterX` respectively, with `X` being the major version of HepMC (2 or 3) - Renamed `HepMCInterfaceX::init_kinematics` to `HepMCInterfaceX::init_event` and protected it, use `HepMCInterfaceX::operator()` instead - Removed redundant `HepMCInterfaceX::add_variation` function #### Linking * Export cmake target `HEJ::HEJ` to link directly against `libHEJ` * Preprocessor flags (`HEJ_BUILD_WITH_XYZ`) for enabled/disabled dependencies are now written to `ConfigFlags.hh` * Provide links to version specific object files, e.g. `libHEJ.so -> libHEJ.so.2.1 (soname) -> libHEJ.so.2.1.0` * Removed `LHAPDF` from public interface #### Miscellaneous * Capitalisation of `Config.hh` now matches class `Config` (was `config.hh`) * Replaced redundant member `EventReweighterConfig::jet_param` with getter function `EventReweighter.jet_param()` (`JetParameters` are already in `PhaseSpacePointConfig`) * Avoid storing reference to the Random Number Generator inside classes - Constructors of `EventReweighter` now expect `std::shared_ptr` (was reference) - Moved reference to `HEJ::RNG` from constructor of `JetSplitter` to `JetSplitter.split` ## Version 2.0 ### 2.0.4 * Fixed wrong path of `HEJ_INCLUDE_DIR` in `hej-config.cmake` ### 2.0.0 * First release
