Package overview

This package contains two Algorithms, one Tool, and three classes providing some utilities. The two Algorithms are for filtering events (FilterEvent) and for processing events that have passed the filter (ProcessEvent). The runtime configuration for these algorithms is in the file share/configAOD_jobOptions.py. The Tool and utilities are self explanatory.

The main application is scripts/processAOD_trf.py, which is configured in the file share/runAOD_jobOptions.py. Running processAOD_trf.py without arguments will give brief information about which arguments are expected.

How to run on a local file

Download an example AOD file from the Grid, and if running on simulated data, also download a conditions database file:

• dq2-get -f AOD.129495._000001.pool.root.1 mc09_7TeV.105861.TTbar_PowHeg_Pythia.merge.AOD.e521_s765_s767_r1250_r1260/
• dq2-get -f DBRelease-10.3.1.tar.gz ddo.000001.Atlas.Ideal.DBRelease.v100301
