The TaNC algorithm has been with the goal of maximizing the discriminatory
|

|
|
information available to the algorithm, and can be broken down into four

|
|
steps:

\item Find tau--candidate seeds by applying a jet-finding
|
| 8 |
|
|
(iterativeCone5PFJet) algorithm. Within the jet, select objects
|
| 9 |
|
|
kinematically consistent (according to the defintion of the ``shrinking
|
| 10 |
|
|
cone'' tau algorithm in ~\ref{PFT08001}) with a tau decay as ``signal''
|
| 11 |
|
|
objects.
|
| 12 |
|
|
|
| 13 |
|
|
\item Merge photon pairs in the signal object collection into candidate
|
| 14 |
|
|
neutral pions.
|
| 15 |
|
|
|
| 16 |
|
|
\item Remove objects that are consistent with underlying event contamination.
|
| 17 |
|
|
|
| 18 |
|
|
\item Determine the decay mode using the multiplicity of charged and neutral
|
| 19 |
|
|
objects.
|
| 20 |
|
|
|
| 21 |
|
|
\item Apply a discriminant \emph{specific to the reconstructed decay mode} to
|
| 22 |
|
|
the tau candidate.
