This release includes the latest developments made for the Higgs preliminary combination HIG-19-005.

Improvements to the code include:

  • Options to speed up discrete minimisation (a6950ba). Enabled by including the option --X-rtd MINIMIZER_freezeDisassociatedParams, can now also include the following

    • --X-rtd MINIMIZER_multiMin_hideConstants: hide the constant terms in the likelihood when recreating the minimizer
    • --X-rtd MINIMIZER_multiMin_maskConstraints: hide the constraint terms during the discrete minimization process
    • --X-rtd MINIMIZER_multiMin_maskChannels=<choice> mask in the NLL the channels that are not needed:
      • <choice> 1: keeps unmasked all channels that are participating in the discrete minimization
      • <choice> 2: keeps unmasked only the channel whose index is being scanned at the moment (works only in multipleMinimize mode 0, makes discrete minimization faster)
  • Add option to completely skip discrete minimization (for DEBUG purposes only) --X-rtd MINIMIZER_skipDiscreteIterations (b3802ae)

  • Added option in text2workspace.py: --just-check-physics-model to test a physics model quickly without building the full workspace (f162ceb)

  • Improved tool test/scanScalefactorsFromWS.py to allow producing scans of scale-factors from PhysicsModels using workspace directly.

  • General improvements in memory management in workspace creation.
