particleData: update to PDG 2016 values #207

Closed suhlatwork closed 7 years ago

suhlatwork commented 7 years ago

Update the particle data table to the values from the 2016 edition of the PDG.

bgrube commented 7 years ago

Thanks a lot Sebastian! However, I would propose to keep a copy of the old file (e.g. as "particleDataTable2012.txt"). This way, we have as default the latest and greatest and at the same time it is easy to repeat fits from the publications.

suhlatwork commented 7 years ago

Keep the old file around.

I would not update the particleData/particleDataTable.txt file, because everyone who updates his ROOTPWA version without carefully checking the commits can obtain (slightly) different results using the updated table without knowing the reason. I would create a particleData/particleDataTable2016.txt file and perhaps even move particleData/particleDataTable.txt to particleData/particleDataTable2012.txt. If one wants to have the newest one as default, one may adjust rootpwa.config accordingly.

Add the 2016 data as a new file. Added a card to Trello to take care of making this the default.

Merged. Thank you!
