Key Points

Introduction

  • Use xrdcp from within eic-shell to copy files to your local environment.

The Reconstruction Output Tree

  • Output trees contain a lot of information. Take time to explore what is available, identify what you want to try and do, find the relevant branches.
  • The MCParticles branch holds information on generator level particles, critical for use in comparing to what we actually detect!

Analyzing the Reconstruction Output

  • Flat tree structure provides flexibility in analysis.
  • The ReconstructedChargedParticles branch holds information on reconstructed tracks.

Full Chain Analysis

  • There are a few steps to go through before we get to the file we analysed previously.
  • Good for testing, but use simulation campaign output where possible!

Additional Resources

  • Starting scripts for the exercises are available.
  • Completed (tm) exercise scripts will be available after the lesson.
  • Talk to your colleagues in your WG if you don’t know where to get started. Check the Examples Repository too!
