Introduction

The SLAC ATLAS group has developed an inclusive software package for producing flat ROOT ntuples from ATLAS Pool files, either ESD or AOD.

Structure and usage

 General structure

The package is divided into several independent algorithms, each of which is responsible for adding groups (or blocks) of data to the output ROOT TTree:

1. Calo-Tower Block
2. Electron Block
3. Photon Block
4. MET Block
5. Muon Block
6. Reco-Jet Block
7. Topo-Cluster Block
8. Track Block
9. Trigger Block
10. Truth-Jet Block
11. Truth-MET Block
12. Truth Particle Block
13. Truth Vertex Block
14. Vertex Block

 Package location

The package resides in the SLAC ATLAS CVS repository here:

• SLAC CVS Location

Note that the CMTCVSOFFSET is thus different and should be explicitly defined when checking in or out of this CVS location

cmt co -r JetTrackVertexAnalysis-00-00-18 -o groups/slac JetTrackVertexAnalysis

 Checkout and build

Examples

 Running from a local machine

 Running from the SLAC batch system

 Running from the CERN batch system
