How to Run Commissioning Reconstruction

Preface

The purpose of this page is to provide instructions on how to reconstruct commissioing data. Historically there has been a split between "RecExCommon" and "RecExCommission". Both sit under Reconstruction/RecExample. "RecExCommon" is currently used to reconstruct simulated data, while "RecExCommission" is used to reconstruct real commissioning data, for example cosmic data. At some point these two packages need to be merged.

Where to Run

Right now, the instructions which will be provided below are specific to running at CERN. Once I figure out how to generalize this to e.g. BNL and Nevis I will update the wiki accordingly.

General Overview

In the share directory under RecExCommission there are several job options. The ones which we will be interested in first are:

1. TopOptsExample.py
2. RecExCommissionCommonFlags_jobOptions.py
3. RecExCommissionFlags_jobOptions.py
4. RecExCommission_topOptions.py

Here are some important Calo and LAr specific job options

• "CaloCosEx/LArCosmicFlags_jobOptions.py"
• "CaloCosEx/LArSignalReco_Cosmics_jobOptions.py"
• "CaloCosEx/LArCosmicMonitoring_jobOptions.py"
