Overview
The SLIC simulation package produces simulated physics events in the LCIO data format. This tutorial shows how to read these events into the Pandora PFA New project to create output Particle Flow Objects (PFOs).
Setup
A Linux or Unix platform is assumed. These instructions should work on a platform like Cygwin. (untested!)
Two external packages must be installed onto your machine. The LCIO package provides the data interchange format. The Pandora PFA New project is the C++ implementation of the Pandora Particle Flow Algorithm.
LCIO Installation
Checkout the LCIO project from the cvs.
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.freehep.org:/cvs/lcd co lcio
Building this project requires the CMake tool, the installation of which is not covered here. It additionally requires command-line GNU Make.
cd lcio cmake . make
Pandora PFA New Installation
Now download the Pandora project from the internet and build it. This project also requires CMake to build it.
Follow this link to download the SVN trunk of the Pandora project. Save it to your local computer.
tar -zxvf PandoraPFANew-trunk.tar.gz cd trunk cmake . make
Now we're ready to setup the project that interfaces SLIC to Pandora.
