cuts with madanalysis5

[fotonfoton123]

Dear Authors,

I have a question related to cuts with madanalysis5. I examine the process pp>aaa with default cuts. I want to plot photons in the final state with madanalysis5. Madanalysis5 can be drawn plots related to pt[a]-Events, pt[a[1]]-Events, pt[a[2]]-Events, pt[a[3]]-Events. What exactly is the difference between these plots?

Best Regards.

Hi @fotonfoton123, a[1] stands for the leading photon, a[2] second leading photon and a[3] third leading photon for $p_T$ ordered collection (by default, but the ordering can be changed).

Thank you for your response. What does the plot related to pt[a]-Events tell?

[jackaraz]

That refers to the scalar sum of all $p_T$'s in your photon collection.
