Instructor Notes

This tutorial follows the environment setup and geometry development with DD4hep tutorials and assumes learners already have a working eic-shell.

Before the session


  • Ask learners to complete the Setup page in advance and to have eic-shell installed and working. On systems without /cvmfs the container download is large and should not be done live.
  • The physics-event episode reads large HepMC3 input files from the EIC XRootD server. Network access to root://dtn-eic.jlab.org from the training systems should be confirmed beforehand, and learners should be aware that centrally produced files are many GB in size.

Timing


Each episode is roughly 30 minutes of teaching and 20 minutes of exercises. The first ddsim run against cvmfs can be slow the first time, as Geant4 data files are fetched; budget extra time.
