PandoraFrontend

The PandoraFrontend binary provides a simple frontend to slicPandora.

...

The above command requires that the input events were generated in the sidloi3 detector and that a symlink has been setup pointing from "input.slcio" to your input event file.

Using GeomConverter to Output the Pandora Geometry Format

The GeomConverter package can convert from compact detector descriptions to various output formats, including one for input to slicPandora.

For example, to generate the Pandora settings for the sidloi3 detector.

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@co LCDetectors
cd LCDetectors/detectors/sidloi3
java -jar ~/.m2/repository/org/lcsim/GeomConverter/1.13-SNAPSHOT/GeomConverter-1.13-SNAPSHOT-bin.jar -o pandora compact.xml sidloi3_pandora.xml

This will create the file sidloi3_pandora.xml that can be used as input to slicPandora.

Running Events in SlicPandora

...

Now that tracks and track states have been added to the events, we are ready to use Pandora itself.

Using GeomConverter to Output the Pandora Geometry Format

The GeomConverter package can convert from compact detector descriptions to various output formats, including one for input to slicPandora. (Installation of GeomConverter is not covered here.)

Use this command from your GeomConverter root directory to generate a Pandora geometry file from a compact detector description.

java -jar ./target/GeomConverter-1.10-SNAPSHOT-bin.jar -o pandora ./myCompactDetector.xml ./myPandoraGeom.xml

This will write out a Pandora XML file to "myPandoraGeom.xml" from the compact description in "myCompactDetector.xml".
