Configure example

There is an example of running the entire chain from generating particles to running an analysis tool. A more detailed description of the algorithms and their parameters is presented below.

ApplicationMgr(**options)

Event generation

The "Event generation" block can contains other options: to read a ROOT file, to generate using the particle gun tool and to generate using EvtGen.

Podio input

It is possible to read the particle parameters from a ROOT file.

You have to import the library

from Configurables import PodioInput

and to create the algorithm instance

podioevent = ScTauDataSvc("EventDataSvc", input=ifile)
podioinput = PodioInput("PodioReader", OutputLevel=INFO, collections=['allGenParticles'])

The important parametres:

• input - an input file name
• collections - a name of a branch with MC particles

Particle gun

To use the particle gun algorithm, it is necessary to import the following libraries

from Configurables import ParticleGun
from Configurables import GenAlg
from Configurables import HepMCToEDMConverter
from Configurables import HepMCFileWriter

from Configurables import Gaudi__ParticlePropertySvc
from PathResolver import PathResolver

and to write the following strings

particlePropertySvc = Gaudi__ParticlePropertySvc(
    "ParticlePropertySvc",
    ParticlePropertiesFile=PathResolver.FindDataFile('GenParticleData/ParticleTable.txt')
)

from math import pi
guntool = ParticleGun("PdgCodes", PdgCodes=[211])
guntool.OutputLevel=DEBUG

guntool.MomentumMin = 0 * units.MeV 
guntool.MomentumMax = 4 * units.GeV

guntool.ThetaMin = 0 * units.rad 
guntool.ThetaMax = pi * units.rad 

guntool.PhiMin = 0 * units.rad
guntool.PhiMax = 2 * pi * units.rad 

gun = GenAlg("ParticleGun", SignalProvider=guntool)
gun.hepmc.Path = "hepmc"

writer = HepMCFileWriter("HepMCFileWriter")
writer.hepmc.Path="hepmc"

hepmc_converter = HepMCToEDMConverter("Converter")
hepmc_converter.hepmc.Path="hepmc"
hepmc_converter.genparticles.Path="allGenParticles"
hepmc_converter.genvertices.Path="allGenVertices"

Some parameters can be changed:

• PdgCodes - a list containing particles PDG codes to generate
• MomentumMin - a minimum particle momentum
• MomentumMax - a maximum particle momentum
• ThetaMin - a minimum theta angle
• ThetaMax - a maximum theta angle
• PhiMin - a minimum phi angle
• PhiMax - a maximum phi angle
