Hi,

Hi! This looks like a usecase for friend trees, which you can register with TTree::AddFriend().

There is also a tutorial about this.

I hope that helps, if not let me know!

Which part are you still struggling with? It would be good if you are more specific so I don’t have to tell you things that you already know. For example, do you already know how to plot a branch with a weight from the same file? And how are you using that, e.g. with TTree::Draw() or RDataFrame? The answer will depend on how you are doing the plotting.

Thanks, i know the method to plot a branch with weight i.e TTree::Draw(), where both branch and weight belongs to same TTree. but im unable to apply weight when weight belongs to other tree or other root file.
