Description

The LHCb software is being adapted to tackle the challenges associated with the Run III of LHCb. As a result, a vectorised reconstruction event model is planned to be introduced for parallel processing of Run III data. As a consequence, the software used for offline processing of data is also being updated. Shipped as part of the new suit of upgrades is a new decay finder algorithm. This algorithm improves upon the old ones used in the Run I/II periods, particularly in handling of identical particles and improvements with added flexibility in the syntax of the user-specified decay descriptors. The structure of the new decay finder, which includes templated functions, makes it agnostic towards the type of the input particle. It is designed in-line with modern software practices through systematic implementation of unit tests and detailed documentation/comments to ensure good coverage of the features and code maintainability.
