Starting from version 3 FastJet introduces a number of tools meant to facilitate the analysis of events and of jet substructure. A schematic view of these tools is provided below. In addition many other tools are available through the FastJet Contrib package.

Users of FastJet 2 can refer to this page, where a number of external codes implementing some of the same tools are described and linked to.

  1. For older versions of FastJet use Filter.hh and Filter.cc for filtering and see the authors' web-site for trimming. See also see example/fastjet_boosted_higgs.cc in earlier versions of FastJet
  2. For earlier versions of FastJet, use the plugin from pruning authors' web site
  3. Superseeds the background estimation through ClusterSequenceArea in earlier versions of FastJet
  4. For older versions of fastjet, see example/fastjet_boosted_higgs.cc, which also illustrates the filtering step
  5. Use CASubJet.hh with older versions of FastJet



3rd party tools (external code)

A wide range of 3rd-party tools is available from the fastjet-contrib project (see list). A few tools exist only outside of fastjet-contrib:
