% Define glossary entries with \newglossaryentry{<label>}{<settings>}. Don't add a full stop at the end of the description as the compiler will do so automatically
\newglossaryentry{pileup}{
name=pileup,
description={The term ascribed to additional proton-proton collisions during a bunch crossing. Pileup interactions typically produce a large number of low-momentum particles}
}
\newglossaryentry{luminosity}{
name=luminosity,
description={Instantaneous luminosity is a measure of the collision rate in a particle accelerator (given in units of area per unit time). The integrated luminosity is the instantaneous luminosity integrated over time and is a metric for measuring the total amount of data delivered by an accelerator or collected by a detector}
}
\newglossaryentry{jet}{
name=jet,
description={A collimated shower of hadronic particles. High momentum quarks and gluons fragment and radiate; the resulting particles combine into hadrons due to colour confinement and deposit energy in the detector very close to each other and is reconstructed as a single physics object called a jet}
}
\newglossaryentry{svj}{
name=semi-visible jet,
description={A shower of standard model and dark hadrons from the decay of a leptophobic \PZprime or $\Phi$ mediator that couples the hidden sector to the standard model}
}
\newglossaryentry{bjet}{
name=\Pqb-jet,
description={A jet identified by a given algorithm or classifier as originating from a \Pqb quark}
}
\newglossaryentry{particleflow}{
name=\textsc{Particle Flow} algorithm,
description={An event reconstruction algorithm used in CMS. Information from all subdetectors is combined so that all stable particles can be identified. Jets are clustered, and complex objects such as \Pqb-jets are classified}
}
\newglossaryentry{antikt}{
name=anti-\kt algorithm,
description={A sequential clustering algorithm designed to group hadronic particles into jets with a distance parameter $R$. The transverse momentum is symbolised as \kt instead of \pt. In CMS, standard distance parameters are $R = \text{0.4}$ and $R = \text{0.8}$, referred to as AK4 and AK8 jets, respectively},
symbol={anti-\kt}
}
% Maybe define it predominantly as missing transverse momentum instead. If so, use correct symbol
\newglossaryentry{met}{
name=missing transverse energy,
description={The negative vector sum of the transverse momenta of all particles in a collider event. It is sometimes abbreviated to ``MET'' with the symbol $\VEtmiss$, and also referred to in literature as ``missing transverse momentum'' ($\ptvecmiss$)},
symbol={$\VEtmiss$}
}
\newglossaryentry{CR}{
name=control region,
description={A region of phase space orthogonal to the signal region, typically by requiring an object that would otherwise be vetoed in the signal region. A control region enriched in a background process present in the signal region (such as \wtolnupjets) can be used to model its influence more accurately},
}
\newglossaryentry{SB}{
name=sideband,
description={A region of phase space orthogonal to the signal region, typically by inverting kinematic requirements. Similar to a control region, a sideband enriched in a background present in the signal region (such as QCD) can be used to model it more accurately},
}
\newglossaryentry{PD}{
name=primary dataset,
description={Collision events recorded by CMS are grouped into ``primary datasets'' that satisfy particular sets of paths in the High Level Trigger. For example, events triggered on by one of the many \ptmiss paths enter the MET primary dataset},
}
\newglossaryentry{pull}{
name=pull,
description={The discrepancy between data and the standard model background event counts, in units of the standard deviation of the data: $(N_{\mathrm{data}} - N_{\mathrm{SM}})/\sigma_{\mathrm{data}}$},
}

% To reference glossary terms and acronyms in the document, see https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Glossary#Using_defined_terms for commands
% The general glossary commands \gls{}, \Gls{}, etc. can be used for acronyms as well. For example, if I want the first letter of "jet energy corrections" capitalised, even though it's an acronym I can do \Gls{jec}.
