The list of requested datasets to be processed in this pre-production phase can be found on Davide Costanzo's Software Validation page.
This page provides information about the ongoing Data-Challenge-2 (DC2) pre-production, which runs
ATLAS/Athena GEANT4 simulation and digitisation, using offline releases from 7.5.0 onwards.
The goals of the pre-production are to test the first part of the DC2 production chain, consisting of
The datasets are intended to be serve as input for the sub-detector groups to develop and validate their simulation and digitisation software. More statistics can be produced on request, if needed.
Further goals are to
On this page, information is currently given on the generated input datasets; on the produced
ROOT/POOL files containing simulated hits; on the produced
ROOT/POOL files containing digit RDO's; and on how to run event generation, GEANT4 simulation, and digitisation
on the CERN LSF-batch system. Due to the nature of the pre-production activities, the page will always be incomplete
and under permanent updating and extension.
