Muon Object Oriented REconstruction
This page provides examples
and instructions for installing and running MOORE.
Basic familiarity with Athena concepts is implied in the following.
A useful and regularly updated
source of information is the RecExample web
page where several information
on how to run a generic reconstruction package are given. In the
following frequent links to this page are given.
Getting started
- please check the instructions given here for knowing how to:
- set up your CMT area
- select an optimized build
- and more.....
- Releases Vs Moore
What release do you want to use? To answer this first of all have a look here
and check the release status.
Your choice depend mainly if you are a Moore developer or if you are
willing to perform ``physics validation'', using Moore as reconstruction package.
In the following you find the versions we suggest you to use in both cases, at the time this
page has been written.
- 7.0.2 similar to 7.0.1 except for a bug fix in TGC Detector Description interface.
- physics validation reference version : known problems: CSC hits.
- see presentation for reference plots on efficiency
and resolution.
- 7.3.0 Development version
- 7.4.0
Just out (has been
build with CMT v1r14p20031120)
Run MOORE as a part of the ATHENA reconstruction
IMPORTANT unless you need to modify MOORE, you do not need to check it out.
MOORE is part of the official software, so you may just want to reconstruct
only muons in the muon spectrometer, using MOORE, or to run the full
reconstruction (or part of it) in ATHENA.
For running the full Athena reconstruction, see the instructions given here.
These instructions includes also the customization of your running chain, so in case you
want to select only part of the Athena reconstruction read a bit more.If you want to run Moore alone, from release 7, follow the previous instruction until the
execution command in the run area, that in this case will be:
athena MooAlgs/Moore_jobOptions.txt
Getting the Moore code
- Create
a clean working directory with the path you have specified in the TestArea (see: Getting started), and
cd to it
- Checkout the RecExCommon code following the instructions given here
- cmt co -r RecExCommon-xx-xx-xx Reconstruction/RecExample/RecExCommon
- ls /afs/cern.ch/atlas/software/dist/7.2.0/MuonSpectrometer/Moore/
- will show you:
MooAlgs MooEvent Moore-00-00-64
MooStatistics
- Moore is a container package Moore-00-00-64 is the version of the package
- MooAlgs, MooEvent, MooStatistics are sub-containers
- Checkout
the Moore container package
- cmt co -r Moore-00-00-64 MuonSpectrometer/Moore
- Check which versions of the subcontainers
are linked by this package:
- more MuonSpectrometer/Moore/Moore-00-00-64/cmt/requirements
- contains the use specifications, where the versions of the subcontainers are expressely given
- in the specific case: MooAlgs-00-00-64 MooEvent-00-00-64 MooStatistics-00-00-64
- Checkout
the code (the code is included in the subcontainers)
- cmt co -r MooAlgs-00-00-64 MuonSpectrometer/Moore/MooAlgs
- cmt co -r MooEvent-00-00-64 MuonSpectrometer/Moore/MooEvent
- cmt co -r MooStatistics-00-00-64 MuonSpectrometer/Moore/MooStatistics
- Build only Moore with his subcontainers
- cd Moore/Moore**/cmt
- cmt broadcast cmt config
- cmt broadcast gmake
- From
this point please follows the instructions from Build on, as from RecExCommon
(see here )
- For
the final run you can use directly the Moore_jobOptions :
- athena MooAlgs/Moore_jobOptions.txt > TestOut.t
Moore JobOptions parameters
Moore JobOptions file contains a brief reminder of
the parameters adjustable run-time. Most of them are for developers.
Moore Output
At present, by default, Moore output consists of an ntuple.
Running in batch
Please have a look
at the instructions given for RecExample, adapting them to the
Moore case.
Using valgrind (only release 6.3.0
and above)
valgrind is a tool to find memory leaks and other run time errors like
branch on uninitialized variables.
For using it please follow the instructions given here for RecExample, adapting them to the Moore case.
