Input Particle Types

For the particles input to the reconstruction any one dimensional AbstractArray{T, 1} can be used, where the type T has to implement methods to extract the 4-vector components, viz, the following are required:

• JetReconstuction.px(particle::T)
• JetReconstuction.py(particle::T)
• JetReconstuction.pz(particle::T)
• JetReconstuction.energy(particle::T)

Currently built-in supported types are LorentzVectorHEP, the PseudoJet and EEjets from this package, and ReconstructedParticles from EDM4hep Inputs.

If you require support for a different input collection type then ensure you define the px(), etc. methods for your specific type and in the JetReconstruction package. This use of what might be considered type piracy is blessed as long as you are en end user of the jet reconstruction package.

If your type is used in several places or by different users, please consider writing a package extension that will support your type, following the model for EDM4hep in ext/EDM4hepJets.jl.
