The SLIC simulation package produces simulated physics events in the LCIO data format. This tutorial shows how to read these events into the Pandora PFA New project to create output Particle Flow Objects (PFOs).
Setup
Preliminaries
A Linux or Unix platform is assumed and the bash shell is used for all command-line instructions. These instructions procedures should also work on a an emulation platform like Cygwin. (untested!)
Two external packages must be installed onto your machine before setting up the SLIC to Pandora interface package. The LCIO package provides the data interchange format. The Pandora PFA New project is the C++ implementation of the Pandora Particle Flow Algorithm (PFA).
LCIO Installation
Checkout the LCIO project from the cvs.
| No Format |
|---|
cd /workdir
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.freehep.org:/cvs/lcd co lcio

Follow this link to download the SVN trunk of the Pandora project. Save it to your local computer.
| No Format |
|---|
cd /workdir
tar -zxvf PandoraPFANew-trunk.tar.gz
cd trunk
cmake .
make
|
Now we're ready to setup the project that interfaces SLIC to Pandora.
slicPandora Installation
Checkout the slicPandora project from cvs.
| No Format |
|---|
cd /workdir
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.freehep.org:/cvs/lcd co slicPandora
cd slicPandora
|
Copy the example setup script.
| No Format |
|---|
cp example_setup.sh my_setup.sh
|
Edit my_setup.sh so that the PANDORAPFA and LCIO variables point to the correct locations of these packages on your computer (from the installation above).
Source the new setup script.
| No Format |
|---|
. my_setup.sh
|
Build the slicPandora project.
| No Format |
|---|
make
|
The slicPandora project should now build successfully. If compilation or linking errors occur, then check that LCIO and Pandora were installed successfully and that the setup script is pointing to the correct locations of these packages.
