legend = TLegend(0.60,0.61,0.92,0.91) legend.SetShadowColor(0) legend.SetFillColor(0) legend.SetLineColor(0) legend.AddEntry(your_data_plot, "data") legend.AddEntry(your_zee_mc_plot, "zee mc") legend.Draw()For more information on TLegend, TCanvas, TH1F, etc. etc., the root documentation is onvaluable. See, for instance: http://root.cern.ch/root/html/TLegend.html ![]() /scratch/earwulf/projects/AnalysisUtilities/python/makeFigure.py(or in your own AnalysisUtilities directory, if you can run svn update) If you copy this script to you local directory or otherwise include it in sys.path, by, for instance, adding: import sys sys.path.append("../AnalysisUtilities/python")(where you've checked that ../AnalysisUtilities/python contains makeFigure.py) you can then do: import makeFigure from makeFigure import SetColorthen you can use: SetColor(your_histogram, "blue")to set the line/marker/fill color of your histogram to blue in one line (look over the script to see how its done) I've also added a function that you might find handy for making TLegends: from makeFigure import MakeLegend Try running over some of the other MC ntuples, so you have a few mc plot files to play with. To represent the sum of the backgrounds, while still distinguishing sthe contributions from each component, THStack is very useful. In you script, you can do something like:legend = MakeLegend( plots = {"data" : your_data_plot, "zee mc" : your_zee_plot} ) your_stack = THStack("your_stack", "invariant mass of MC backgrounds") your_stack.Add(your_zee_plot) your_stack.Add(your_ttbar_plot) your_stack.Add(your_diboson_plot) your_stack.Add(your_wjets_plot)then you can draw it (along with the data we are comparing it to) with, say: your_data_plot.Draw("e") your_stack.Draw("same,hist") your_data_plot.Draw("e,same")where we redraw the data plot to make sure the axes are visible (try not doing this, maybe it isn't always necessary?) if you have axis drawing issues, you might also find that adding the following after histogram drawing but before canvas printing is helpful: c1.RedrawAxis()One nice thing about python's speedy interpreter and concise syntax is that you can play around with different ways of doing things without wasting to much time. Since ROOT can be finiky (and at times poorly documented), this is useful. | |||||||

> > | Where to find data ntuples, with the signal selection applied (from xenia1):
ntuples are organized by data taking period. to run over all the data, you can so something like:/scratch/earwulf/ntuples/DiEMPairs_data/2011/ Monte Carlo ntuples, with the same selections applied, as well as EventWeights calculated, can be found here:./run /scratch/earwulf/ntuples/DiEMPairs_data/2011/diEMPairs* analysisTree plots.data.root to run over mc, you can do something like:/scratch/earwulf/ntuples/DiEMPairs_mc/2011/ where [sample] is one of the available samples: zee w+jets ttbar_binned ttbar_unbinned diboson (you probably don't want to run over all the MC at once like with the data, as it is helpful to resolve from which MC process an event came from) Once you've made some plot files, you can plot them interactively in root, like:./run /scratch/earwulf/ntuples/DiEMPairs_mc/2011/diEMPairs.mc.[sample].root analysisTree plots.[sample].root -mc root plots.data.root my_plot->Draw()etc. etc. but once you have a lot of plots to make, fits to do, and fussy style concerns, this can be impractical. Its better to use a script. Since you know something about root and C++, you can write a root macro and run it, but this isn't much faster than running interactively. Another option is to write a python script. PythonUnfortunately, the version of root set up in your .zshrc file doesn't play well with python, and visa versa. You might want to start by opening up a new terminal to use for plotting. To set up python, do:setupATLAS localSetupROOTnow you can try writing a little script: you need to import ROOT and the root classes you need:emacs draw_plots.py import ROOT from ROOT import (TFile, TLegend, THStack, TCanvas, TH1F, gROOT, gStyle)to prevent python from opening up xwindows all the time, add: gROOT.SetBatch()to get nice looking, ATLAS style plots, import SetAtlasStyle import SetAtlasStylefor this to work, you need to have SetAtlasStyle.py somewhere in you PYTONPATH, a good place is the directory you are running from. If you are in AnalysisTemplate, you can try: Now, back to the script. We can try loading the root files and putting them into a python dictionary:cp ../AnalysisUtilities/python/SetAtlasStyle.py . inputFiles = { "data": TFile("plots.data.root"), "zee": TFile("plots.zee.root") }make a TCanvas (you need this to draw your plots on): c1 = TCanvas()you can retrieve the plots like this: your_data_plot = inputFiles["data"].Get("[your data plot name]") your_zee_mc_plot = inputFiles["zee"].Get("[your data plot name]")and draw them: your_data_plot.Draw("e") your_zee_mc_plot.Draw("e,same")where the plot option "e" is specifying that you want error bars, and "same" is telling you that you want to overlay the second plot on the first. to make a nice eps file to look at, you can do: Try saving this script so we can try it out. To run the script, do:c1.Print("your_plot_name.eps") Your .eps file should appear. You can try opening it with ghostview:python draw_plots.py gv your_plot_name.eps | |||||||

http://www.nevis.columbia.edu/twiki/bin/view/ATLAS/ArCondNevis![]() Summer2011/ArCondNevis/arc_d3pd/Here we have arcond.conf. This is the main configuration file where we indicate the datasets (for example a dataset with part of the 2011 run, or a dataset with a particular type of MC) we want to run over. Instead of editing this file (for now) you will need to copy a few files from my area again. First: cp -r /a/home/karthur/tandeen/ArcondFiles/arcond_2011 .(you should be in the Summer2011/ArCondNevis/arc_d3pd/ directory). In this new directory there are config files set up for running over mc and data. We want to look at data so cp arcond_2011/arcond_data2011.conf arcond.conf(replaces the exiting arcond.conf file). Looking at this new arcond.conf file you'll see the line: input_data = /data/xrootd/data/xrootd/data11/ExcitedEl/This is the "directory" where the skims are. It is not exactly the directory location on xenia, these files are distributed across the cluster and when you submit a job the condor system makes sure to send jobs to the nodes where your file are. (Instead of keeping the files in one place and coping the data to the cpu we run the job on we copy the analysis code to where the data is and run the job there. It turns out to be faster not to move the data files, which can be large). You can see what files are in here by doing arc_nevis_ls /data/xrootd/data/xrootd/data11/ExcitedEl/there should be 152 files there. Now we need to copy two other files over. They will go in the "user" directory (so something like Summer2011/ArCondNevis/arc_d3pd/user). cp /a/home/karthur/tandeen/ArcondFiles/user/* user/.we have two files, one for running on mc, and one for data. Use the data file first. (the difference is the way we run the code, with or without a trigger selection for the data). We want the data one first again: cd user cp ShellScript_BASIC.sh_data ShellScript_BASIC.sh cd ..One last step, this you only have to do once (and it is only because I forgot to add these files last week). In the Summer2011/ArCondNevis/arc_d3pd/patternsdirectory do svn updateThis should add 6 new files: schema.site.xenia03.nevis.columbia.edu.cmd thru schema.site.xenia08.nevis.columbia.edu.cmd Now you should be able to submit jobs. From the Summer2011/ArCondNevis/arc_d3pd/ directory just do arcondThis will ask you several questions, you should agree to everything (things like "do you really want to use these files" or "do you want to submit the jobs"). At the end it should tell you that you can check the submission with the command condor_qand you should see your jobs (and anyone else's who happen to be running) listed. Once you get to the top of the queue and your jobs start to run it should take only a few minutes. You can check the output with arc_checkIt should report that there are output root files for all of the jobs submitted. Finally, you can add all the output files together with arc_addand the file Analysis_all.root should appear in Summer2011/ArCondNevis/arc_d3pd/. This is the output root file, and you've run over all the data we have on xenia. This data is the data thru the beginning of May, I hope to add more soon. | |||||||

> > | Now that we have the tools setup we'll need to grab some code. First make a working area, we'll do this in your home area for now. I like to organize things so make a directory like "Summer2011" in your home area: (btw these first steps are a repetitive)
mkdir Summer2011then in that directory do export SVNAP=svn+ssh://tandeen@svn.cern.ch/reps/apenson kinit tandeen@CERN.CH svn --username tandeen co $SVNAP/ArCondNevisThis creates several new directories under ArCondNevis: arc_d3pd and Analysis. We'll look at arc_d3pd later: It is how we run our analysis in batch (ie: many jobs at once) on our cluster, but for now we will just start with 1 thing at a time! The other directory is Analysis. This is a placeholder, to get the latest, greatest versions we will do: cd ArCondNevis rm -rf Analysisand then svn --username tandeen co $SVNAP/Analysis <---always your username instead of mineNow, in case your cern accounts are not in order right away (which would prevent you from using svn) you can just copy all of this from my home directory like this: cp -rp /a/home/karthur/tandeen/forSummerStudent4 .( note for me: this is revision 2173) It should be identical. However, as soon as your account are ready you should check it out of svn and use that version. You will need to do this to check your changes in eventually, so it is best to start with svn as soon as possible. Within the Analysis directory there are many subdirectories, each with a specific analysis. You can poke around any of them you'd like, there are some good examples of how to code and do analysis on Atlas in there. But we are interested in ExcitedElectrons in particular. Go to this directory. cd ExcitedElectronsif you do "pwd" you should now be in something like: /a/home/karthur/tandeen/forSummerStudent4/ArCondNevis/Analysis/ExcitedElectronsYou need to copy a couple of files over from my area that aren't in svn. These are files that we update regularly as we add more and more data, so we just keep the locally. They are here: cp /a/home/karthur/tandeen/mu_hists/May27/mu*.root . cp /a/home/karthur/tandeen/fileLists/localListdata_2011skim_ExcitedEl* . cp /a/home/karthur/tandeen/GRLs/* .then do: source compileEverything.shThis will take ~1/2 hour because the first time you run this it has to, well, compile everything. This includes code that is not in the ExcitedElectron directory, mainly AnalysisUtilities. Many of us use AnalysisUtilities, which contains common code that is useful in many analyses. This is a largish package, but the good news is we only need to compile this once (for now) and the code you will actually be editing in ExcitedElectrons will compile quickly after this. While you wait here is some reading material: Interesting Links:Atlas: http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/Collaboration/![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Running the AnalysisOnce you have compiled the excited electrons code you should be in the ExcitedElectrons directory and you should see a file called "run". As you might guess, this is the main executable that you will run like this: (it takes a minute or two)./run /a/data2/xenia/users/tandeen/mc/mc10b/signal/user.aabdelal.mc10_7TeV.119291.Comphep_Estaregam700.merge.AOD.e778_s933_s946_r2302_r2300.16.6.5.2.SMWZD3PD_01.110519185612/user.aabdelal.003598.StreamNTUP_SMWZ._00001.root physics EF_e20_medium results.root none -mcThere are a number of arguments here. The first tells you where the input file is, for now we will just run over this one input file. You should open this file with root and see what it in there. The general idea is that the event by event data is stored in collections called trees. The next argument is the tree name, in this case "physics". Variables in trees can be plotted from within this root file, but once one starts to make more complicated cuts and corrections we need an actual program to help us do the analysis. The next argument is the trigger name. There are collisions every 50 ns at Atlas right now. This is far to much data far to quickly to read out and save to disk, so we have "triggers" that run in real time on the detector that tell us at a very basic level if an event is interesting. you can learn more triggers in chapter 8, and about the rest of Atlas too, here: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/pub/Atlas/AtlasTechnicalPaper/Published_version_jinst8_08_s08003.pdf ![]() What are excited electrons:Let me add a few short words about excited electrons. An excited electron is an electron that has been "excited" above it's ground state. This excitation is massive so it is short-lived and quickly decays into a electron (an unexcited, normal, stable electron) and a photon (the energy it emits as it returns to it's ground state). I think people usually make a little joke/analogy here about excited electrons (or other excited particles) being like people at a club late into the night. They are filled with energy, but after dancing away enough energy they eventually (for some of us rather quickly) they decay into their more stable, everyday selves. So we're looking for the exciting electrons living it up in nightclubs, but so far we haven't made it past the bouncer. (meh-not so bad for physics humor I think.) Anyway, a more useful analogy is to think of these excited electrons as being like a hydrogen atom that is excited above it's ground state. In the case of an atom we think of the electron occupying a higher energy level (think back to chemistry I guess). But in the case of an electron…, well what could be occupying the higher energy level? We think of electrons as point-like, fundamental particles: How does an excited electron have more energy than a regular electron? What did we excite with in it? This is the "trick": If we see an excited electron it means that the electron itself is not fundamental after all. There must be some sort of structure that is smaller than and even more truly fundamental than electrons; like the electron is to the atom, or like quarks which make up protons and neutrons. This is why excited electrons are interesting. Why haven't we seen them yet? Because the energy it takes to produce one has not be available to us in our colliders. But perhaps it is now.Analysis outputBut back to the result.root file you have just made. Open it up in root like:root results.rootFrom the root command prompt open a root browser with TBrowser bfrom here you should see something like an directory structure that you can click through. Go to "ROOT Files", where you should see "results.root". Click on this and you'll have a list of all the directories within this file. Each of these contains a set of histograms, the content of which is (albeit vaguely) hinted at by the directory title. For example, in "kin_electrons" you will find the certain kinematic variables plotted for the electrons that pass our preselection. You might try clicking on a few, like "et", which will show you the histogram of the transverse energy of the electrons. For an explanation of all the variables in here you can look here: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/AtlasProtected/D3PDContent ![]() ![]() /data2/users/tandeen/mc/mc10b/signalYou should see some significant differences. (btw: for root help and tips ask me, or the grad students around there. everyone needs root help at some point. but also there is http://root.cern.ch ![]() ![]() ![]() ./run localListdata_2011skim_ExcitedEl_short physics EF_e20_medium results.root none GRL.xml &results.log &(note that this overwrites the previous output file!). This will be short, and you should take a look at the histograms now. You might also try localListdata_2011skim_ExcitedEl instead of localListdata_2011skim_ExcitedEl_short, but the best way to run over data files (which are larger and take longer to run over) is using the batch system. That's the next section I think. How to use the condor batch system on xeniaI'm working on it.

You should all have an account on the nevis computing cluster already, and this same username and password will allow you to log into the Atlas cluster, called xenia. There are ~150 processors in this cluster, but most of them are reserved for batch processing. We work interactively on two nodes: xenia.nevis.columbia.edu and xenia1.nevis.columbia.edu. You can log into them from a terminal window using the ssh command:ssh -Y summerstudent@xenia1.nevis.columbia.edu(use your username, not "summerstudent"). You are now logged in and should see a prompt like: [summerstudent@xenia1]~%To setup our environment you will need to add the following lines to your .zshrc file. You only have to do this one time. Open the .zshrc file with an editor (my favorite is emacs): and add these lines at the end:emacs .zshrc export ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE=/a/data/xenia/share/atlas/ATLASLocalRootBase/ alias setupATLAS='source ${ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE}/user/atlasLocalSetup.sh'I've made a script that you should run every time you log into xenia. This sets up the environment for using the atlas software. From my home area copy the file: cp /a/home/karthur/tandeen/forSummer2011.sh .and then We use SVN as a way to save, backup and share our analysis code. Think of it as a online library where we checkout (and eventually check in) our work. To checkout packages of code you will need to do the following:source forSummer2011.sh export SVNAP=svn+ssh://summerstudent@svn.cern.ch/reps/apenson cd /a/home/karthur/summerstudent kinit svn --username summerstudent co $SVNAP/ArCondNevis rm -rf Analysis svn -username summerstudent co $SVNAP/AnalysisThis will give you a clean version of our analysis code to start with. You might want to add that first line to your .zshrc file so you don't have to type it in everytime you want to checkout or update the code from SVN.
