Notes on the Big Run and Monte Carlo Data Access

\[prepared for short presentation on 19 March 2008\]
What is the Big Run?
What *types* of MC datasets are typically generated?
...
- Will we do the 1-year interleaved background + full sky model run?
- Still much discussion given the current state and launch schedule
- Open question...
- See Richard's Big Run status Checklist page for all the details
- Richard and Julie are your best contacts for Big Run plans (but they are both really busy, so first try to discover the answer yourself)
- Hopefully fixing the rough edges discovered during OpsSim2 data processing review
...
What about Pass6?
- There are as of this moment NO production MC datasets with Pass6 analysis
- As of yesterday morning still hammering out the finishing touches on the definition of Pass6 and the mechanism to reprocess some existing data
- Once Pass6 is up and running, one should expect all future MC datasets to use it
- With some luck, the opssim2 dataset (8 full days background + sky model) may be reprocessed by sometime next week...stay tuned.

How does one stay up-to-date with regard to exactly what is available and planned?

Once I've figured out what data to use, how do I get my hands on it?
