Detailed Description

ConfigBlock for the di-tau Missing Mass Calculator algorithm

Further notes on the tool are available at [DiTauMassTools](https://gitlab.cern.ch/atlas/athena/-/tree/main/PhysicsAnalysis/TauID/DiTauMassTools).

Usage in the ATLAS Run 2 $H\to\tau\tau$ analysis is documented in Section 10 of [ATL-COM-PHYS-2020-721](https://cds.cern.ch/record/2741326).

A detailed description of the Missing Mass Calculator (MMC) method and its alternatives is given in Chapter 4 of [Michael Hübner's PhD thesis](https://bonndoc.ulb.uni-bonn.de/xmlui/bitstream/handle/20.500.11811/9734/6567.pdf).

  The MMC method can be applied to had-had, had-lep and lep-lep di-tau decays. Based on the input collections given to the algorithm, the following priority ordering is made internally:

  1. $\tau$-had + $\tau$-had
  1. $\tau$-had + $\mu$
  1. $\tau$-had + e
  1. e + $\mu$
  1. $\mu$ + $\mu$
  1. e + e

  This means that if your event has 2 hadronic tau-jets and 1 electron, the MMC fit will be run under the assumption of a had-had event. To force the MMC fit to consider the 1 electron in a had-lep topology, you'd need to edit the C++ code. Alternatively, if you have determined that some objects should not be used as inputs (e.g. hadronic tau-jet already assigned to top reconstruction, pair of leptons assigned to a Z boson), you should decorate these objects with a flag and use the relevant `container.selection` options of the algorithm. In that way, the MMC fit will only be run on the "left-over" objects.

WARNING 

The MMC method assumes that the MET in a given event originates mostly from the neutrinos associated to the decay of the di-tau system. If your topology has additional sources of MET (e.g. $t\bar{t}H(\to\tau\tau)$, $W(\to\ell\nu)H(\to\tau\tau)$), the MMC method is not recommended and will give nonsensical answers. See e.g. the ATLAS Run 2 search for BSM $VH(\to\tau\tau)$ in [ATL-COM-PHYS-2022-022](https://cds.cern.ch/record/2799543) where the MMC method is combined with alternatives. Additional neutrinos from the decay of B-hadrons typically do not lead to significant enough MET to be a problem, i.e. $t\bar{t}(\to\text{jets})H(\to\tau\tau)$ should be safe.
