SoftKiller, a particle-level pileup removal method
Résumé
Existing widely used pileup removal approaches correct the momenta of individual jets. In this article we intro-duce an event-level, particle-based pileup correction proce-dure, SoftKiller. It removes the softest particles in an event, up to a transverse momentum threshold that is determined dynamically on an event-by-event basis. In simulations, this simple procedure appears to be reasonably robust and brings superior jet resolution performance compared to existing jet-based approaches. It is also nearly two orders of magnitude faster than methods based on jet areas.
