Key Points

Introduction

---

• Use xrdfs from within the eic-shell to browse available files from simulations campaigns.
• Use xrdcp from within eic-shell to copy files to your local environment.
• Access the reconstructed kinematics using the InclusiveKinematicsXX branches.

Performance Benchmarks

---

• Use the podio Reader (podio::makeReader) to process simulation files using the data types implemented in edm4hep/edm4eic.

Manual Reconstruction

---

• The reconstruction methods all use some combination of the same basic information: Ee, theta_e, sigma_h, pt_h.

Optimise Reconstruction

---

• Some kinematics may favour a calorimeter based electron energy over a tracking based determination - check which is better for your analysis.
