F-you plot

My wife was peering over my shoulder while I made some plots yesterday,

Wife: What’s that?

Me: Some of these plots are screwed up, I need to remake them.

Wife: It looks like it’s flipping you off.

This is the life of a high energy physicist: making plots, then figuring out why they seem to hate you so much.

(I picked a simple example here. It didn’t take me long to figure out that I was plotting the track eta of photons. Problem: photons don’t leave tracks.  Nearly all the photons get the default value of 0.  Solution: don’t be a dumbass, plot the calorimeter eta of photons.)
