=== Session 3, Wed 10:45am - 11:45am: JANA/DANA (Paul) ===
+
* Talk (35 mins): Intro to JANA/DANA (factories & plugins)
+
** JANA is a framework: multithreaded, factory-based (describe concept of factories, tags (e.g. BCAL)), event-processors control the work flow
+
** The primary executable (hd_root) does virtually nothing by itself, the processor in your plugin tells it what to do
+
** JANA automatically loops over the events in your input files, executing the primary factory & plugin methods as needed: init(), brun(), evnt(), erun(), fini()
+
** Track/Shower reconstruction, REST format, danarest plugin
+
** Basic Analysis Classes: DKinematicData, DChargedTrackHypothesis, DChargedTrack, DNeutralShower, DMCThrown, DBeamPhoton
+
** hd_dump: Prints data to screen
+
* Exercise (25 mins):
+
** Use danarest plugin to do track reconstruction.
+
** Print basic analysis objects (DMCThrown, etc.) to screen via hd_dump and inside of plugin
+
** Stretch goal: figure out how to get the run number from inside the evnt() method and print it to screen for each event.

Latest revision as of 17:10, 24 February 2017

Purpose

The purpose of this tutorial/workshop session will be to give an introduction to using the Hall-D analysis tools. It is open to anyone either inside or outside the GlueX collaboration who has an interest in doing physics inside Hall-D. The tutorial will cover the basics of:

  • Physics Analysis Framework
  • Using Boosted Decision Trees
  • Amplitude Analysis using AmpTools

The tutorial will consist of a series of talks with exercises, along with room for questions/discussion.

Location and Time

The tutorial will take place:

DATE: July. 10-11, 2013

TIME: 8:30am to 5:30pm EDT (i.e. JLab time).

LOCATION: CEBAF Center L102 - L104

Registration & Requirements

  • Registration Page

Software and Data from the Workshop

Acquiring the Virtual Machine

  • The virtual machine can be acquired via either the UConn SRM (if you have open science grid (OSG) access) or via JLab.
