area setup:
source /cvmfs/cms.cern.ch/cmsset_default.sh
export SCRAM_ARCH=slc6_amd64_gcc700
cmsrel CMSSW_10_3_1_patch3
cd CMSSW_10_3_1_patch3/src
mkdir UserCode
git clone
mkdir prefiltered_trees

to compile: scram b

First run selection_skimmer.cc!

It runs over data and mc samples in lstore
right now for B+
to run over other samples, change inputs
It loops over the data or mc samples, flattening the tree, applying the selection, and writing a new tree with less variables

running example: selection_skimmer --colsyst PbPb --mc 0 --channel 1

Then you can run sideban_subtraction.cc over the outputs of selection_skimmer that are in prefiltered_trees
It applies a sideband subtraction method to the data and then compares the result with the monte carlo distributions

First do:
mkdir mc_validation
mkdir mc_validation/sideband_sub

To run:
sideband_sub
