Summary and Schedule

Welcome to the EIC/ePIC tutorial on file access. This tutorial will explore how to find and access EIC/ePIC simulation data using Rucio. Usage of metadata tags to quickly find data will be explored as well as some example use cases.

Prerequisite

Prerequisites

Experience/knowledge of CERN ROOT and/or Python.

Experience/knowledge of working in UNIX environments and familiarity with running via the command line.

This tutorial follows other tutorials in the EIC series:

• Setting Up Your Environment

Further information is included in other tutorials:

• Analysis
• Geometry Development with DD4hep
• Simulations Using DDsim and Geant4
• Reconstruction Algorithms in JANA2
• Developing Benchmarks

	Setup Instructions	Download files required for the lesson
Duration: 00h 00m	1. Introduction	How are EIC/ePIC simulation outputs organised?
Duration: 00h 10m	2. Rucio Usage	How can I use Rucio?
Duration: 00h 40m	3. Use Cases	How do users interact with EIC/ePIC data?
Duration: 01h 30m	Finish

The actual schedule may vary slightly depending on the topics and exercises chosen by the instructor.

If you have not done so already, please follow the setup instructions for Setting Up Your EIC Environment well before the start of the tutorial to ensure your system is ready.

This tutorial will go over how to browse and access simulation campaign files using rucio. We will also examine various use cases and how you might engage with the simulation output in each case. You will need a working eic-shell environment running for this tutorial.
