Simulation of Pseudo Events

EOS can simulate pseudo events from any of its built-in PDFs using Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques. The examples following in this section illustrate how to find a specific PDF from the list of all built-in PDFs, simulate the pseudo events from this object, compare to the pseudo events with the analytic results, and plot 1D and 2D histograms of the pseudo events.

Listing the built-in Probability Density Functions

The full list of built-in probability density functions (PDFs) for the most-recent EOS release is available online here. You can also show this list using the eos.SignalPDFs class.

Constructing a 1D PDF and Simulating Pseudo Events

We construct the one-dimension PDF describing the decay distribution in the variable \(q^2\) and for \(\ell=\mu\) leptons. We create the q2 kinematic variable and set it to an arbitrary starting value. We set boundaries for the phase space from which we want to sample through the kinematic variables q2_min and q2_max. If needed, we can shrink the phase space to a volume smaller than physically allowed. The normalization of the PDF will automatically adapt.

We simulate stride * N=250000 pseudo events/samples from the PDF, which are thinned down to N=50000. The Markov chains can self adapt to the PDF in preruns=3 preruns with pre_N=1000 pseudo events/samples each.

[3]:
mu_kinematics = eos.Kinematics({
    'q2':            2.0,  'q2_min':            0.02,     'q2_max':           11.6,
})
mu_pdf = eos.SignalPDF.make('B->Dlnu::dGamma/dq2', eos.Parameters(), mu_kinematics, eos.Options())
rng = np.random.mtrand.RandomState(74205)
mu_samples, mu_weights = mu_pdf.sample_mcmc(N=50000, stride=5, pre_N=1000, preruns=3, rng=rng)

We repeat the exercise for \(\ell=\tau\) leptons, and adapt the phase space accordingly.

[4]:
tau_kinematics = eos.Kinematics({
    'q2':            4.0,  'q2_min':            3.17,     'q2_max':           11.6,
})
tau_pdf = eos.SignalPDF.make('B->Dlnu::dGamma/dq2', eos.Parameters(), tau_kinematics, eos.Options(l='tau'))
rng = np.random.mtrand.RandomState(74205)
tau_samples, tau_weights = tau_pdf.sample_mcmc(N=50000, stride=5, pre_N=1000, preruns=3, rng=rng)

Comparing the 1D PDF samples with the analytic result

We can now histogram the samples and compare the histogram with the analytical result. Similar to observables, SignalPDF objects can be plotted as a function of a single kinematic variable, while keeping all other kinematic variables fixed. The latter is achieved via the kinematics key.

As you can see, we have excellent agreement between our simulations and the respective analytic expressions for the PDFs.

Constructing a 4D PDF and Simulating Pseudo Events

We can also draw samples for PDFs with more than two kinematic variables. Here, we use the full four-dimensional PDF for \(\bar{B}\to D^*\ell^-\bar\nu\) decays.

We declare and initialize all four kinematic variables (q2, cos(theta_l), cos(theta_d), and phi), and provide the phase space boundaries (same names appended with _min and _max).

We then produce the samples as for the 1D PDF.

[6]:
dstarlnu_kinematics = eos.Kinematics({
    'q2':            2.0,  'q2_min':            0.02,     'q2_max':           10.5,
    'cos(theta_l)':  0.0,  'cos(theta_l)_min': -1.0,      'cos(theta_l)_max': +1.0,
    'cos(theta_d)':  0.0,  'cos(theta_d)_min': -1.0,      'cos(theta_d)_max': +1.0,
    'phi':           0.3,  'phi_min':           0.0,      'phi_max':           2.0 * np.pi
})
dstarlnu_pdf = eos.SignalPDF.make('B->D^*lnu::d^4Gamma', eos.Parameters(), dstarlnu_kinematics, eos.Options())
rng = np.random.mtrand.RandomState(74205)
dstarlnu_samples, _ = dstarlnu_pdf.sample_mcmc(N=50000, stride=5, pre_N=1000, preruns=3, rng=rng)

We can now show correlations of the kinematic variables by plotting 2D histograms, beginning with \(q^2\) vs \(\cos\theta_\ell\), …
