This is just a copy of the information on the tags given in the tutorial. Think of this page as a quick reference sheet.
The following tags are available as of March 2026:
- software_release
- Software release used in the simulation. Written as a container version tag/simulation campaign naming:
- YY.MM.v
- E.g. 25.06.2-stable -> June 2025 software container, version 2 stable
- Note, campaign release files will almost always be from a -stable release/container version
- is_background_mixed
- True/false depending upon whether sample includes any background mixing
- data_level
- Level of simulation data,
simulationorreconstruction
- Level of simulation data,
- geometry_config
- Geometry config tag, e.g.
craterlake_18x275,craterlake_5x41_He3
- Geometry config tag, e.g.
- generator
- MC event generator used to generate the simulated data
pythia6,pythia8,beagle,djangoh,rapgap,dempgen,sartre,lager,estarlight,eic_sr_geant4,eic_esr_xsuite,sherpa,single_particle,epic,other
