The slicPandora project should now be built successfully. If compilation or linking errors occur, then check that the dependencies were installed successfully.

PandoraFrontend

The PandoraFrontend binary provides a simple frontend to slicPandora.

The syntax of this command is the following.

No Format

./bin/PandoraFrontend geometry.xml pandoraSettings.xml inputEvents.slcio reconOutput.slcio [nevents]

The nevents command is optional, but all other arguments are required and must be supplied in order.

For example, to repeat the results of the JobManagerTest using PandoraFrontend, execute this command.

No Format

./bin/PandoraFrontend ./examples/sidloi3_pandora.xml ./examples/PandoraSettingsRelease.xml ./input.slcio ./pandoraRecon.slcio 2

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.

Running Events in SlicPandora

Steps

The essential steps to generating slicPandora events with SlicPandora are as follows.

1) Use SLIC to generate an LCIO simulation datafile.
2) Add tracks to the event by running a tracking package such as LCSim's SeedTracker.
3) Add the TrackState collections so slicPandora knows the Track momenta. (can be combined with #2 into one LCSim job)
4) Run slicPandora SlicPandora with the LCSim output, a Pandora XML geometry generated by GeomConverter, and a Pandora settings XML file.

...

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