The EnergyCorrelator package is based on the physics described in:

   Energy Correlation Functions for Jet Substructure.
   Andrew J. Larkoski, Gavin Salam, and Jesse Thaler.
   JHEP 1306, 108 (2013)
   arXiv:1305.0007.

Additional information and a new observable formed from the 
energy correlation functions was described in

   Power Counting to Better Jet Observables.
   Andrew J. Larkoski, Ian Moult, and Duff Neill.
   JHEP 1412, 009 (2014) 
   arXiv:1409.6298.

Additional observables based on generalizations of the energy
correlation functions are described in

   New Angles on Energy Correlation Functions.
   Ian Moult, Lina Necib, and Jesse Thaler.
   arXiv:1609.07483.

This FastJet-contrib package contains a number of classes derived from
FunctionOfPseudoJet<double>.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The core classes from 1305.0007, and defined since version 1.0, are:

EnergyCorrelator(int N, double beta, Measure measure)

  Called ECF(N,beta) in arXiv:1305.0007.  Corresponds to the N-point
  correlation function, with beta the angular exponent, while measure
  = pt_R (default) or E_theta sets how energies and angles are
  determined.

EnergyCorrelatorRatio(int N, double beta, Measure measure)

  Called r_N^(beta) in arXiv:1305.0007.  
  Equals ECF(N+1,beta)/ECF(N,beta).

EnergyCorrelatorDoubleRatio(int N, double beta, Measure measure)

  Called C_N^(beta) in arXiv:1305.0007.  Equals r_N/r_{N-1}.  This 
  observable provides good boosted N-prong object discrimination.
  (N=1 for quark/gluon, N=2 for boosted W/Z/H, N=3 for boosted top)
  Also given in EnergyCorrelatorCseries as of version 1.2.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The D2 observable from 1409.6298, as well as C1 and C2 alias classes, were
added in version 1.1:

EnergyCorrelatorC1(double beta, Measure measure)

  This calculates the double ratio observable C_1^(beta) which is
  useful for quark versus gluon discrimination.

EnergyCorrelatorC2(double beta, Measure measure)

  This calculates the double ratio observable C_2^(beta) which is
  useful for boosted W/Z/H identification.

EnergyCorrelatorD2(double beta, Measure measure)

  Called D_2^(beta) in arXiv:1409.6298.  
  Equals ECF(3,beta)*ECF(1,beta)^3/ECF(2,beta)^3.  
  This is the recommended function for boosted 2-prong object
  discrimination (boosted W/Z/H).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generalized energy correlators were introduced in 1609.07483 and appear in
version 1.2.  They are defined in the class:

EnergyCorrelatorGeneralized(int angles, int N, double beta, Measure measure)

  Called {}_v e_n^{(beta)} in 1609.07483, but will be denoted here as
  ECFG(angles,N,beta), where v=angles and n=N.  As for EnergyCorrelator,
  beta is the angular exponent, while measure = pt_R (default) or E_theta
  sets how energies and angles are determined.  The integer angles
  determines the number of angles in the observable.  The choice angles=-1
  sets angles = N choose 2, which corresponds to the N-point
  normalized (dimensionless) correlation function, with 
  ECFN(N,beta) = ECFG(N choose 2,N,beta) = ECF(N,beta)/ECF(1,beta)^N
  
From the generalized correlators, a variety of useful ratios are defined.
They are mainly organized by series, with special values highlighted for
recommended usage.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

EnergyCorrelatorGeneralizedD2(double alpha, double beta, Measure measure)

  Called D_2^(alpha, beta) in arXiv:1609.07483  
  Equals ECFN(3,alpha)/ECFN(2,beta)^(3 alpha/beta).  
  Useful for groomed 2-prong object tagging. We recommend the use of alpha=1
  and beta=2. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
EnergyCorrelatorNseries(int i, double beta, Measure measure)

  Called N_i^(beta) in arXiv:1609.07483  
  Equals ECFG(2,n+1,beta)/ECFN(1,n,beta)^2.  

EnergyCorrelatorN2(double beta, Measure measure)

  Called N_2^(beta) in arXiv:1609.07483  
  Equals ECFG(2,3,beta)/ECFG(1,2,beta)^2. 
  Useful for groomed and ungroomed 2-prong object tagging.
 
EnergyCorrelatorN3(double beta, Measure measure)

  Called N_3^(beta) in arXiv:1609.07483  
  Equals ECFG(2,4,beta)/ECFG(1,3,beta)^2.  
  Useful for groomed 3-prong object tagging.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

EnergyCorrelatorMseries(int i, double beta, Measure measure)

  Called M_i^(beta) in arXiv:1609.07483  
  Equals ECFG(1,n+1,beta)/ECFG(1,n,beta).  

EnergyCorrelatorM2(double beta, Measure measure)

  Called M_2^(beta) in arXiv:1609.07483  
  Equals ECFG(1,3,beta)/ECFG(1,2,beta).
  Useful for groomed 2-prong object tagging.

  Called U_1^(beta) in arXiv:1609.07483  
  Equals ECFG(1,2,beta).

  Called U_2^(beta) in arXiv:1609.07483  
  Equals ECFG(1,3,beta).
  Useful for quark vs. gluon discrimination.

EnergyCorrelatorU3(double beta, Measure measure)

  Called U_3^(beta) in arXiv:1609.07483  
  Equals ECFG(1,4,beta).
  Useful for quark vs. gluon discrimination.

The argument Measure in each of the above functions sets how energies
and angles are defined in the observable.  The measure 
  
  pt_R

uses hadron collider coordinates (transverse momenta and boost-invariant 
angles). The "energy" in this case is defined as the pT of the jet, 
and the "angle" is the distance between the jets in phi, eta space.

The measure

  E_theta

uses particle energies and angles and is appropriate for e+e-
collider applications. The "energy" is the jet energy and the angle
between 2 jets is computed from the dot product of the 3 vectors p1 and p2.

The measure

  E_inv

uses particle energies and angles and is also appropriate for e+e-
collider applications. In this case “theta” is replaced by Mandelstam 
invariants with the same behavior in the collinear limits, leading to a more 
calculation friendly observables. The "energy" is defined as the jet energy
and the "angle squared" is defined as  (2p_i \cdot p_j/E_i E_j), 
where p_i,p_j are the momenta of the jets i adn j, and E_i, E_j are their
respective energies.

General usage is shown in the example.cc program, and recommended usage 
is shown in example_basic_usage.cc.
