FSRoot is an alternative to DSelectors that uses flat trees.


There are two steps:

1. Use FlattenForFSRoot (hd_utilities/FlattenForFSRoot/flatten) to generate flat trees from the standard analysis trees.

 >  flatten -in [input file with analysis tree] -out [output file with flat tree]
  • Run flatten with no flags to see further run options.
  • This should work for data, reconstructed MC, and thrown MC.
  • See the FlattenForFSRoot/Documentation directory for more information.


2. Use FSRoot (available at https://github.com/remitche66/FSRoot) to make histograms from the flat trees.

Here is a working example:

1. Flatten an analysis tree:

 > flatten -in /u/home/remitche/FSRootExample/analysis.root -out flat.root
  • where analysis.root was created by running /u/home/remitche/FSRootExample/MC.run
  • which generates MC based on the config file /u/home/remitche/FSRootExample/MC.config
  • which simulates the process gamma p --> eta' p --> eta pi+ pi- p --> (pi+ pi- pi0) pi+ pi- p using genr8 with the input file /u/home/remitche/FSRootExample/MC.genr8

2. Make a plot of the eta' mass:

 root>  FSHistogram::getTH1F("flat.root","ntFSGlueX_100_221","MASS(2,3,4,5,6)","(80,0.8,1.2)","")->Draw()
  • where particles 2-6 are the five pions from the eta' decay
