GEANT4 Simulation/Digitisation Pre-Production






 


Introduction and Scope


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.


Any feed-back and suggestions are welcome. Please send them to Nektarios Benekos and/or Armin Nairz.
