HepMC filter
HepMC filter is a simple application that reads a file in HepMC format and selects the events that satisfy certain criteria. The idea is to reduce the number of events we need to process after the selection.

Getting and Compiling HepMC filter
- tau1.hep.utexas.edu:
NOTE: To download the source file you need to have an access to the ATLAS Subversion system.
...
At this stage you must have 'HepMC_Filter.exe' in the 'HepMC_Filter/bin' directory. This is the actual filter application.

Running the filter
In the 'share' subdirectory you will find 'dilepton_filter.sh'. You need to modify this file to star processing the data.
...
4. The filter will stop at some point and you should be able to find skimmed files in the output directory. The running timescale depends on number of events you have in the input. In my case, it was roughly 10 mins for about 100,000 input events.
