simulations

Scripts to generate and reconstruct CLAS events. Prepared for the EG2 experiment. Exclusive to run in the JLAB farm.

Requirements

  • A bash session

Instructions

To download this repository (recommended in home directory)

git clone http://github.com/utfsm-eg2-data-analysis/simulations

Then,

  1. cd ~/simulations

  2. Make some edits to run_particleSim.sh:

    • Replace the content of the environment variables SIMINDIR and TOPOUDIR (Lines 134, 136 and 138) to point the repository and the production directory (avoid your home directory for this one)

    • Lines 236-242 allow you to set the configuration for each job. I personally recommend, for the default value of 2 hours, to generate 3500 events per job. It's highly recommended to test a few jobs before sending a large batch of jobs.

    • You can uncomment Lines 268-285 to retrieve the intermediate files of the process.

  3. To run the simulation type:

    ./run_particleSim.sh --mode <mode> --Nevts <Nevts> --targ <targ> --pid <pid> --bkg <bkg>--run1 <run1> --run2 <run2>

where,

  • <mode> = 0 (interactive), 1 (farm)
  • <Nevts> = number of events to generate
  • <targ> = 0 (Deuterium), 1 (Carbon), 2 (Iron), 3 (Lead)
  • <pid> = pid of detected particle, eg. 221 (eta), 223 (omega), 2212 (proton)
  • <bkg> = 0 (generate events with at least one of selected particle in the final state), 1 (generate all particles but selected one)
  • <run1, run2> = integers to loop over (>= 0)

For the interactive mode, the output files will be produced in ${TOPOUDIR}/ifarm/${run}. And for the farm mode, they will be produced in ${TOPOUDIR}/farm/${run}.

For example, to send 10 jobs that generate 3502 events with at least one omega meson (pid = 223) in their final state, for Deuterium target, one should execute:

./run_particleSim.sh --mode 1 --Nevts 3502 --targ 0 --pid 223 --bkg 0 --run1 1 --run2 10

Another example, to run a quick interactive test.

./run_particleSim.sh --mode 0 --Nevts 102 --targ 0 --pid 2212 --bkg 0 --run1 0 --run2 0

A more recent example, to run a quick interactive test of background simulations for eta mesons (pid = 221).

./run_particleSim.sh --mode 0 --Nevts 102 --targ 0 --pid 221 --bkg 1 --run1 0 --run2 0

Lastly, one can type ./run_particleSim.sh with no arguments to obtain a reminder of the instructions.

All these scripts are possible and working thanks to Orlando Soto and Ahmed El Alaoui, and Hayk Hakobyan for implementing the EG2 experiment into GSIM.
