Muon isolation in atlas_1908_08215 #43

Hi,

I was trying to use the analysis atlas_1908_08215 with CheckMATE v2.5.0, Pythia 8.245 and Delphes 3.5.1.
This is a dilepton plus MET analysis with SRs defined for SF (e+,e- or mu+,mu-) and DF (e+,mu- or e-,mu+).
When running over the chargino-chargino benchmarks (which should populate all 2 categories) I've noticed that the DF SRs are not being populated at all. After digging a bit, I've noticed that no muons were passing the isolation criteria. It seems that this is due to the fact that the muons are being included in the tracks.
I've changed AnalysisHandler.cc to skip tracks containing the muon candidate when computing the isolation. It seems to have fixed it.
But I would like to know if this is indeed needed or if I am missing something.

Thanks!
