Developing Benchmarks

Benchmarks are scripts that run detector simulations and analyze the resulting data to extract quantities related to the detector performance.

Prerequisites

The following tutorial assumes basic knowledge of shell. It may be practical to use eic-shell for benchmark development, as it is the environment that will closely match the one during benchmark execution. It also assumes that you are a member of the EIC organization on GitHub and belong to the “epic-devs” team. You also need to have your local ssh key added to GitHub so that you can push.

This tutorial follows other tutorials in the EIC series:

• Setting Up Your Environment

Further information is included in other tutorials:

• Geometry Development with DD4hep
• Simulations Using DDsim and Geant4
• Reconstruction Algorithms in JANA2
• Making an Analysis
