announcements

There's a new set of production files and ntuples for 4.10.2. It is experimental, but please take a look: note that the ntuple includes Level 1 and (kludged) Level 3 information: Level 1 is from the true simulation, but Level 3 uses production jets and tracks.

what's up

These tcl files are the contents of my current caf directory. Anything that does not look like a normal talk-to parameter is probably a procedure defined in ZBBselect_mode.tcl.

do-it-yourself

For users planning to modify RunZbb.caf by hand, please be aware that: ZBBNEV is the number of events per CAF section. Also, the random number seeds are generated from the section number in this script.

Then download and unzip the following file tar -zxf 491hpt1pack.tgz.

Then download and unzip the following file (tar -zxf 491pack.tgz) in the new release directory, source addPackages.csh, and finally source start.caf. The tar file will hook you up with recent tcl files and shell scripts.

ntuples

There are current ntuples (59713) made after 4.10.2 Production, and truly modern b-tagging. These are experimental. Please see this page for details.

1. check out the FlatNtuple and HLO packages according to Peter's email. This will give you the version 59711.
2. point the RCPID environment variables to the directory of the private RCP database I used to make the monte carlo (for both). Here is a tarred rcpdb directory you can use.
3. modify SecVtxModule and the ucntuple in several ways. (Here's my version of the FlatNtuple directory.) I moved some cerr statements to the error logger (cosmetic). But the code will crash unless you also:
• patch SvtBlock.cc and XtrpBlock.cc not to require XFLD as the bank name of the XFLD bank (for both). Otherwise the trigger blocks are useless.
• patch JetBlock.cc to understand the "tracks refit now" parameter (now behaves like other blocks).
• use the default VertexObjects package from the 4.9.1hpt1 release (for 59711): this is Lester's fix, but one could also try to debug our version.
• patch SecVtxModule and the Zbb block to not take the angle of vanishingly small momentum vectors.
This diff file will show exactly what I've done to the FlatNtuple package.This is the concise version.
4. use this tcl file.

simulated data

This is realistic herwig monte carlo equivalent to run 154653 and generated in 4.9.1 with btag modifications. (note that this means GEOMETRIC cdm.) Ntuples are made in the 4.10.2 release.
