A framework and implementation for data-driven trigger efficiency estimation at LHCb
Estimations of trigger efficiencies are essential to modern particle physics analyses. A data-driven method provides a framework in which to estimate these efficiencies from the properties of reconstructed candidates, described in this paper. This paper also presents the design, implementation and performance of a software package, TriggerCalib, which provides a first centralised implementation of these calculations and can be seamlessly employed in physics analyses. Additionally, the estimation of statistical and systematic uncertainties is discussed.
