Example of wrong calculation of f90, due to the unsorted towers of a "merged jet". This example is taken from a jet resulting from the merge of 2 jets (jet taken at random, in a qcd sample): Tower list (should be sorted according to decreasing p_T) tower pT = 2.29183 ; Eta = -0.340722 ; Phi = 6.23063 tower pT = 1.46176 ; Eta = -0.30055 ; Phi = 6.13255 tower pT = 1.20526 ; Eta = -0.251738 ; Phi = 0.343836 tower pT = 1.14223 ; Eta = -0.714646 ; Phi = 0.0488658 tower pT = 1.09027 ; Eta = 0.123796 ; Phi = 6.13157 tower pT = 0.739867 ; Eta = -0.232115 ; Phi = 6.13225 tower pT = 0.640703 ; Eta = 0.0225371 ; Phi = 0.142381 tower pT = 0.611423 ; Eta = -0.190565 ; Phi = 0.340815 tower pT = 0.567447 ; Eta = 0.022882 ; Phi = 0.334618 tower pT = 0.419395 ; Eta = -0.221091 ; Phi = 6.23046 tower pT = 0.363401 ; Eta = -0.124266 ; Phi = 6.03395 tower pT = 0.294316 ; Eta = -0.229832 ; Phi = 6.03395 tower pT = 0.23374 ; Eta = -0.337659 ; Phi = 0.045881 tower pT = 0.20478 ; Eta = -0.562479 ; Phi = 0.242758 tower pT = 0.202289 ; Eta = -0.412285 ; Phi = 0.340815 tower pT = 0.100695 ; Eta = 0.0158946 ; Phi = 6.13 tower pT = 0.072931 ; Eta = -0.0923428 ; Phi = 5.93319 tower pT = 0.0584039 ; Eta = -0.437648 ; Phi = 0.339805 tower pT = 0.0446741 ; Eta = 0.221687 ; Phi = 0.142466 tower pT = 0.0363555 ; Eta = 0.120793 ; Phi = 0.339805 here after is the merged jet: those towers should appear higher on the list if the sorting would have been done after merging. tower pT = 1.16905 ; Eta = -0.189882 ; Phi = 5.73836 tower pT = 0.172521 ; Eta = 0.128609 ; Phi = 5.83472 tower pT = 0.115442 ; Eta = -0.248269 ; Phi = 5.73742 Split Merge work 1 ; nbmerge : 1 ; nbsplit : 0 n90 : 21 ; nItems : 23 ; f90 : 0.913 when sorting correctly these towers, the resulting (correct) f90 is 0.61
