Generating, Production, and Standard Ntupling



Basic steps for generating with Pythia



NOTE:
Be careful of typos....remember that capitalization does change commands

Running Production


> cd ~cdfsoft/dist/releases
>ls // check to make sure 3.16.0 is in directory
>cd 3.16.0
>ls // check to make sure if Production is in directory
>cd Production
>ls // to make sure ProductionExe.tcl is in Production directory
>cp ProductionExe.tcl yourdirectoryname's path
> ProductionExe ProductionExe.tcl -i filename -o prod.root // where filename is the file that was produced when you generated using pythia and prod.root is the input file that you renamed in the run_stnmaker.tcl file


After production is finished you can ntuple. Note that your "filename"
which you are running production on need not have a .root suffix, although
it will if it is produced as in the steps above.


Standard Ntupling


> stnmaker.exe run_stnmaker_mc.tcl
This ntuples the events....after this is completed, you can look at the input file through event display
> evd prod.root
this will allow you to view the data through pretty graphs...!


How to Ntuple WITHOUT running production first
