ND CAFMaker

ND_CAFMaker takes input edep-sim, GENIE, and reconstructed objects from the DUNE ND and combines them into the Common Analysis Format ("CAF").

Setup

The package has a number of dependencies, all accessible through the ups framework at Fermilab and github. The first time you use it'll you'll need to build the dependencies. Simply run

./build.sh

For subsequent use,

source ndcaf_setup.sh

is sufficient to set up your environment for the common use cases. If, however, you need to set up a local version of duneanaobj for testing purposes, you must edit ndcaf_setup.sh before sourcing it.

Inputs

The package is controlled by fhicl config files, found in the cfg directory. The cfg/ndcafmakerjob.fcl shows the basic setup.

For the minimal test setup:

  • Provide an InputGHEPFile, which contains the GENIE truth information in GHEP format
  • Provide an OutputFile, where your file will be saved

Extending upon the minimal test setup you can:

  • Provide a NDLArRecoFile, which contains the output of the ND LAr reconstruction
  • Provide a TMSRecoFile, which contains the output of the TMS reconstruction
  • Provide a SANDRecoFile, which contains the output of the SAND reconstruction

To add variables and inspect what is set and how, check src/Params.h.

Building

Once you've set up your environment, it's just a matter of typing

make

in the ND_CAFMaker folder, which goes through and builds the objects, library and single makeCAF executable.

Running

There is currently only one main executable, makeCAF, which is controlled entirely by the input fhicl file. To run with the fhicl file that was specified under Inputs, do

./makeCAF --fcl=path_to_your_fhicl_file.fcl

You can also override some of the fhicl inputs, which are specified by typing

./makeCAF --help

and should output

Usage: ./makeCAF [options] <driver.fcl> [options]

General options:
  -h [ --help ]          print this help message

FCL overrides (for quick tests; edit your .fcl for regular usage):
  -g [ --ghep ] arg      input GENIE .ghep file
  -o [ --out ] arg       output CAF file
  --startevt arg         event number to start at
  -n [ --numevts ] arg   total number of events to process (-1 means 'all')

Output tree and event format

The output contains a number of different TTree ROOT objects. cafTree contains the information from the reconstruction and some truth information from the edep-sim detector simulation, and genieEvt contains the true GENIE information from the neutrino interaction simulation.

The object format for the StandardRecord objects is defined in duneanaobj. See the README there for instructions on how to set it up and modify it.

Using a locally installed duneanaobj for testing

duneanaobj's README explains how to construct a custom UPS product that can be used in place of the version used by default by ndcaf_setup.sh. If you have such a custom version that you wish to use, edit ndcaf_setup.sh to add your custom UPS directory to $PRODUCTS and to set up the version name for your working copy. Consult the README for more details.
