ATLAS Data Challenges - Data Challenge 1 Details


Draft document (Version 2; April 25, 2003): DC1 Project Report (mainly Phase 1; edited by Alois Putzer) (.doc) or (.pdf) format

This is very much a "work in progress" to help record decisions made in DC meetings and mail exchanges. For latest and more complete information please consult the atlas-dc mail archive.
 


Production Requests from the HLT Group
Calibration Samples for the Detector Groups

For DC1/Phase 1, see Armin Nairz's page, which mainly is a re-assembly of the requests collected by Monika Wielers. Monika's original page can be found here.

For DC1/Phase 2, a first set of requests (from the e/gamma trigger group) can be found here.


DC Physics Validation

There is an extensive, on-going programme to validate the physics contents of the simulated data samples. The coordinator is Jean-Francois Laporte, and detailed information about the physics-validation programme and its status can be found here.


Production Organisation for 002000

For dataset 002000 the work is distributed across many production centres. At the evgen level there are 150 partitions 0001 to 0150 each with run number 2000 and event numbers from 1 to 100000 in partition 0001, 100001 to 200000 in 0002 and so on. The "standard" job will process 5000 input events and with the particle level filter cut will have about 500 fully simulated events. These events retain their (evgen) run and event numbers in the geant3 structures.

Comments:
(1) originally assigned to the Czech Republic (will also process first partition for test reasons and consistency checks)
(2) originally assigned to Greece (will also process first partition for test reasons and consistency checks)
(3) originally assigned to Switzerland (will also process first partition for test reasons and consistency checks)

The first (evgen) partition produced at each site will be sent back to CERN for validation purposes. This is an initial allocation. Return or request more partitions depending on your estimated capacity. (5 evgen partitions makes 100 simulation jobs of about 1 day on a 500 MHz processor)
Important!   Transfer only the output of your first input partition to CERN, keep the rest locally at your site!

WARNING: This information is not up to date

These are old data in genz format and were processed in the TDR and during dc0/1 validations in 2001.

The genz data are in castor (with updated run numbers). /castor/cern.ch/atlas/project/dc1/evgen/data/

The basic job/script needs updating

  • A selection of 10 per cent of events is expected at the filter.
  • Physics samples used in recent dc0 validations will be processed from GENZ fies.

  • A few minor changes are being made to set the (only) Run Event number in the place "read" by pavel/atlsim. Atlsim is still not compatible with previous TDR production or the 3.2.0 (RDEvent) run-event handling. We expect to fix the for 4.0.0 (or 3.2.1).
