Summary and Schedule

Welcome to the EIC Tutorial on understanding the simulation output!

This tutorial explains how the ePIC simulation and reconstruction output is structured, and how to access and inspect it with Python (uproot/xrootd) and the edm4hep/edm4eic data models.

Prerequisite

Prerequisites

Knowledge of CERN ROOT, and the ability to run a Jupyter notebook through Google Colab, or a local environment with uproot and xrootd installed.

This tutorial follows other tutorials in the EIC series:

• Setting Up Your Environment
• DD4hep Simulation
• Analysis

Further information:

• Geometry Development, section 1
• Reconstruction Algorithms, sections 1, 6, and 7

	Setup Instructions	Download files required for the lesson
Duration: 00h 00m	1. Set up the Jupyter Notebook Environment	How to access simulation campaign output with python?
Duration: 00h 10m	2. Introduction to the DD4hep simulation	Understand the inputs and outputs of the DD4hep simulation
Duration: 00h 50m	3. Reconstruction workflow	Understand the EICrecon workflow
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 instructions on the Setting Up Your Environment tutorial well before the start of the tutorial to ensure your system is ready.

For this tutorial you will additionally need a way to run Python interactively with uproot and xrootd available. See the first episode, Set up the Jupyter Notebook Environment, for the recommended options (Google Colab or a local environment).
