Purpose

The purpose of this tutorial session will be to give an introduction to using the Hall-D simulation and reconstruction software. It is open to anyone either inside or outside the GlueX collaboration that has an interest in doing physics inside Hall-D. The tutorial will cover the basics of:

  • How to get a copy of the code and compile it.
  • How to configure it to best suit your specific task and run the simulation(s).
  • What reconstruction is available and how to use it to get the answers you seek.

The tutorial will consist of a few talks with room for questions/discussion in a single afternoon. The total time for the tutorial will be about 3 hours.

Location and Time
