University of Chicago Run II MC Datasets

CDF Group

General Information and Instructions

• This page is a place where we can document existing generated datasets. In particular, we would like to know the generator (including version number), locations of tcl and output files, number of events, and any other comments. Please feel free to use these sets, and in turn if you have generated sets that may be useful to somebody else please tell us. We have lots of disk space, and are happy to store datasets, and also to give you an account on our cluster if it's useful to you.
• We will make some standard verification programs for many of the processes of interest (e.g., top).
• From Peter:
  There is a testbed for producing pure generator output, then later passing it through the detector simulation and production -- in /cdf/data12a/mc_test. It is currently set up to produce Z->ee:

  cdfSim run_gen_cdfSim.tcl produces cdfSim.root, just EVCL, LRIH & banks. Total disk consumption circa 10 KB/event.

  cdfSim run_detectSimul.tcl reads cdfSim.root, outputs cdfSim_detectsimul.root. Total disk consumption circa 100 KB/event.

  ProductionExe run_Production.tcl reads cdfSim_detectsimul.root, outputs cdfSim_production.root. Total disk consumption circa 200 KB/event.

  The generation/simulation takes 3.5 seconds per event from beginning to end, with the vast majority of that time (2.4 sec) spent in detector simulation ("SimulationControlMod"), with SiPatternRecModule the next longest at just under .5 sec/event.
