which can be found in the /ilc/ild/wenzel/ccal02/slcio_combined directory of the Fermilab DetSim machine (you need a Fermilab Kerberos principal for SSH access to this machine).

The first dataset has the decay of a pair of Z bosons into a pair of neutrinos and a pair of quarks (u + ubar, d + dbar, or s + sbar). The second two have a single W boson, generated with 0-100 or 100-200 GeV kinetic energy respectively, decaying into two quark jets.

The reconstruction will attempt to use particle flow algorithm techniques to reconstruct the W or Z mass in these datasets. This is interesting because distinguishing the W and Z can help find and measure the Higgs and other particles, which is challenging due to their natural mass width and small mass difference (W mass mean ~= 80 GeV vs Z mass mean ~= 91 GeV).

To set up the framework, it will be necessary to follow the instructions here, being sure to install the lcsim, GeomConverter and lcsim-contrib packages as well as JAS3 with the required listed plugins.
