er scale with a probability that is 
<i>pT0_Rec^2 / (pT0_Rec^2 + pT^2)</i>, where
<i>pT0_Rec</i> is <code>reconnectRange</code> times <i>pT0</i>, 
the latter being the same energy-dependent dampening parameter as 
used for multiparton interactions. 
Thus it is easy to merge a low-<i>pT</i> system with any other,
but difficult to merge two high-<i>pT</i> ones with each other.

The procedure is used iteratively. Thus first the reconnection probability
<i>P = pT0_Rec^2 / (pT0_Rec^2 + pT^2)</i> of the
