About papas, heppy et cetra

Particle propagation is done by geometry calculation. To valid the calculation several different cases were plotted.

Helix.

How to run papas

cd heppy

source init.sh

cd test

./heppy_loop.py ../../output/ ctau_cfg1.py

./txt2rtee.py

Output tree

The output tree contains branches which can be divided in several groups:

• reconstructed particle parameters;
• generated particle parameters;
• generated vertices;
• connection between reconstructed particles, generated particles and generated vertices.

The table below presents branches and description of their content.

Name	Type	Length	Description
Reconstructed particles
n	int	1	The number of reconstructed particles.
px	float []	n	The reconstructed particle momentum: x coordinate.
py	float []	n	The reconstructed particle momentum: y coordinate.
pz	float []	n	The reconstructed particle momentum: z coordinate.
Generated particles
n0	int	1	The number of generated particles.
px0	float []	n0	The generated particle momentum: x coordinate.
py0	float []	n0	The generated particle momentum: y coordinate.
pz0	float []	n0	The generated particle momentum: z coordinate.
Generated vertices
nv0	int	1	The number of generated vertices.
vx0	float []	nv0	The generated vertex: x coordinate.
vy0	float []	nv0	The generated vertex: y coordinate.
vz0	float []	nv0	The generated vertex: z coordinate.
Links
recgen	int []	n	Transform a reconstructed particle index to the generated particle index.
genver	int []	n0	Transform a generated particle index to the generated vertex index.
