FTP Data Server

Datasets

Sample datasets are publicly available for ILC detector studies. These include LCIO event files and (usually) the Stdhep files used to generate them.

Location

Datasets are available via anonymous ftp from ftp://ftp-lcd.slac.stanford.edu/lcd/ILC. You can use browser such as IE or Firefox to navigate the FTP directories.

Directory Structure

Top-Level Directories

The top-level directories correspond to specific machine parameters or diagnostic event types.

• ILC1000 - physics events with 1 TeV machine parameters

• ILC500 - physics events with 500 GeV machine parameters

• ZPole - Z Pole diagnostic events

• singleParticle - single particle diagnostic events

Directory Substructure

This is the substructure under each of the above directories.

• event type - complex or single particle event type, e.g. ZZ, ZPole, muons, etc.
  • stdhep - input StdHep files used to generate the events
  • detector name - detector geometry tag, such as sidaug05.
    • data file format - output datafile format, e.g. LCIO or SIO
      • simulator - simulation program that generated the events, e.g. lcdg4, slic, lelaps, mokka, etc.
        • logs - simulator job logs

Example Directory

Relative to the top-level dataset directory, LCIO output for ZPole events simulated with SLIC using the sidaug05 design can be found at
ZPole - sidaug05 - slcio - slic.

The corresponding logical structure is
event type - detector - data format - simulator.
