Add EMCal BadChi2 IB Propagation - CaloTowerStatus

[Steepspace]

• Add feature to flag each tower in the EMCal interface board as having badChi2 if the majority of the towers in the interface board have a badChi2.
• Default threshold is set to 0.5 (half of the interface board), but can be adjusted as desired.

Types of changes

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work for users)
• Requiring change in macros repository (Please provide links to the macros pull request in the last section)
• I am a member of GitHub organization of sPHENIX Collaboration, EIC, or ECCE (contact Chris Pinkenburg to join)

Is there a particular problem this is trying to solve? It would seem easier to modify the maps before adding them to the CDB.

Hi Blair, yes, @vbailey2 requested this feature. The issue is occurring on the level of individual events, where the majority of the interface board is marked as isBadChi2, however, a few towers slip through, and these are occasionally reconstructed into high pT jets. We can't address this issue by modifying the cdb maps because they represent an aggregate behavior over the entire run. The idea is to check if the majority of the towers in an interface board are marked as having isBadChi2 for an event, then set all towers in the interface board as having isBadChi2 so they would fail the isGood check and not produce these fake high pT jets.

After discussion at the Mini Calo meeting today, it was decided to hold off on merging this feature as:

• Adds more complexity to the existing function, resulting in more code maintenance.
• There are potentially other approaches that can be investigated such as an offline tower minimum energy threshold, etc.
