// Omnibus version for colour reconnection (CR) effect studies.

// Links to two UserHooks that, along with the internal models,
// implement all the models used for the top mass study in
// S. Argyropoulos and T. Sjostrand,
// arXiv:1407.6653 [hep-ph] (LU TP 14-23, DESY 14-134, MCnet-14-15)

// Warning: some small modifications have been made when collecting
// the models, but nothing intended to change the behaviour.
// Note: the move model is also available with ColourReconnection:mode = 2,
// while the ColourReconnection:mode = 1 model has not been used here.
// Note: the new models tend to be slower than the default CR scenario,
// since they have to probe many more reconnection possibilities.

// Important: the top mass shift analysis encoded here is very primitive,
// does not perform well at all, and should not be taken seriously.
// The important part is that you see how the different scenarios
// should be set up to operate as intended.
