The current sim/reco consists of five steps

1. Get Events
2. SLIC for running events through GEANT4
3. lcsim to run the digitzation and the tracking
4. SlicPandora to do the ParticleFlowAnalysis
5. LCFIPlus to do the Vertexing
6. lcsim to make DST's

...

Particle Gun

create a macro file calle called mymacro.macro

/lcio/PDGFlag true
/lcio/filename myparticlegun.slcio
/run/initialize
/generator/select gun
/gun/particle e-
/gun/position 0 0 0
/gun/direction 0. 1. 0
/gun/energy 10 GeV
/run/beamOn 100

StDHEP

the execute this with

$SLIC/build/bin/slic  -g ../lcsim/LCDetectors/detectors/sidloi3/sidloi3.lcdd -m  mymacro.macro

this will generate a file with 100 10 GeV electrons fired at 90 degrees in the sidloi3 detector version

StDHEP

get an example stdhep file from the SLAC FTP server

Z-> mumu sample

and store it in a data folder /scratch/sid_complete/data

now get ready to run SLIC

Running SLIC

get an example stdhep file from the SLAC FTP server

Z-> mumu sample

and store it in a data folder /scratch/sid_complete/data

now get ready to run SLIC

Step 2 Running SLIC

For all the following purposes, we're using the sidloi3 detector model, others can be used as well (or you can design your own)

for the particle gun do the following

the execute this with

cd data
$SLIC/build/bin/slic  -g ../lcsim/LCDetectors/detectors/sidloi3/sidloi3.lcdd -m  mymacro.macro

this will generate a file called myparticlegun.slcio with 100 10 GeV electrons fired at 90 degrees in the sidloi3 detector version

For the stdhep, use the followingFor all the following purposes, we're using the sidloi3 detector model, others can be used as well (or you can design your own)

cd data
$SLIC/build/bin/slic -g ../lcsim/LCDetectors/detectors/sidloi3/sidloi3.lcdd  -i pythiaZPolemumu.stdhep  -O -p . -r 100

...

pythiaZPolemumu_slic-3.1.0_geant4-v9r6p1_QGSP_BERT_sidloi3.slcio

Step 3 Running the reco

use the following Command line (all in one line!)

...

• -jar ../lcsim/lcsim/target/lcsim-2.11-SNAPSHOT-bin.jar  contains the reco code
• ../myscripts/sid_dbd_prePandora_noOverlay.xml is the steeringfile
• -DinputFile/-DoutputFile define the files to be used
• -DtrackingStrategies is a file with tracking strategies to be used

Step 4 Running the PFA

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:../slicPandora/lib/
../slicPandora/bin/PandoraFrontend -g ../myscripts/sidloi3_pandora.xml -c ../myscripts/sid_dbd_pandoraSettings.xml -i pythiaZPolemumu_slic-3.1.0_geant4-v9r6p1_QGSP_BERT_sidloi3_reco.slcio -o pythiaZPolemumu_slic-3.1.0_geant4-v9r6p1_QGSP_BERT_sidloi3_pandora.slcio

...

• -c settings
• -i input -o outputfile

Step 5 Running the Vertexing

cp ~/myscripts/sid_dbd_vertexing.xml .

...

 $MARLIN/bin/Marlin sid_dbd_vertexing.xml

Step 6 Making the DST

This final step creates two lcio files, one DST and with all the collections. It also performs the truth-matching
