Details of bfc.kumac

This is the dictionary of inputs to bfc.kumac.

  1. TOP - top level directory to search for kumacs
      - change if you copy stuff to your area!
  2. tpc_sector_first - first sector # of tpc to simulation using tss
  3. tpc_sector_last - last sector # of tpc to simulation using tss
  4. geomtype - for running gstar (all, tpc_field,tpc_nofield)
  5. phystype - for running gstar (on,off)
  6. domain - list of domains to load
  7. chain - list of modules to run **** HAVE TO BE IN ORDER ****
      - see more details below
  8. first - first event to process (should set to 1)
  9. no_events - number of events to process
  10. input_data_prefix - directory of where to find input file
  11. input_data_file - input file name
  12. output_file - output file name

List of domains to load that bfc now uses

  1. geometry
  2. tpc (must also include geometry)
  3. svt
  4. global

These are the parts that go into a chain (so far)

  1. evgin - read in event generator file or text file for gstar
  2. g2tin - read G2T xdf file
  3. evin - read in simulated-data file
  4. fzin - read in fz file
  5. rgst - run gstar from evgin file
  6. rg2t - run g2t from rgst(gstar) stuff
  7. svg - SVT geometry initialization
  8. tpg - TPC geometry initialization
  9. srs - SVT resolution simulator (fast)
  10. sss - SVT slow simulator - not implemented yet
  11. tss - TPC slow simulator
  12. tfc - unpacks tpc raw data into adcxyz table for diagnostics
  13. tcl - TPC clustering - slow sim only !
  14. tcl_e - TPC cluster evaluation - slow sim only
  15. tfs - TPC fast simulator
  16. sgr - grouping SVT hits into tracks
  17. tpt - TPC track finding
  18. tte_t - TPC tte tracker
  19. tte_e - TPC track evaluator
  20. svm - tpc and svt track matching
  21. egr - refit global tracks
  22. ev0 - Strange particle reconstruction
  23. fzout - write out fz file from gstar
  24. evout - write event & run directories into xdf file
