Last update : 19-April-2000 General instructions for monte-carlo production in homelabs Before Starting any production, be sure that you have the latest versions of Galeph, Alephlib, DataBase, Tpcsim and Julia (including correction files) + bankal.fmt and dbas.bank on your computer. +--------------------------------------------------------------+ ! This time you are supposed to produce MINIs in your homelab ! ! please take the cards in $ALEPH/phy/miniprod.cards and modify! ! FILI and FILO according to your actual files and in ! ! case you have any doubt contact Jacques.Boucrot@cern.ch ! +--------------------------------------------------------------+ RECOMMENDED VERSIONS FOR GEOMETRY 2000 PRODUCTION DAF 301 on ALEPHLIB 315.10 GEANT 3.21/13 (On linux compiled without optimization) GALEPH 309.2 TPCSIM 3.00 JULIA 312.0 MINI is inside ALPHA 125 Please use this and only this version for the production!!! Galeph tapes are kept in the labs if wished, julia tapes (in EPIO format) and now also MINIs are shipped to CERN. Please use the new Cartridge-9840 with standard ALEPH label prefix for the julia output and they should be Ascii Label. In case you can not provide Cartridge-9840 we would accept the tapes (but ask Marco Cattaneo if you don't know if your tape is supported at CERN). Keep the julia output EPIO file within 590Mbyte **** ******** ************ For a given Monte-Carlo run ( Kingal + Galeph + Julia ) use the SAME ALEPHLIB and DATABASE. ************ ******** **** KINGAL STEP ----------- Please take the cards from the web page and run kinrun with option file (.opt) corresponding to the generator used available in the kin area. What you have to do is to modify the following cards : o TRIG : Put the number of events you want to generate. o RMAR : Put the RANMAR seeds according to your institution. You MUST follow the rule for Ranmar seed 1 described below and in kinlib doc. For safety take as RANMAR SEED2 the date and hour (for example if events are generated on the 31st of december at 24h, then SEED2 = 24365 ) this will avoid duplication of events. RANMAR SEED2 MUST be less than 30000 !! ----------------------------------------------------- | Institution | Seed 1 | Seed 2 | ----------------------------------------------------- | CERN | 100-199 | 0-30000 | | Glasgow | 200-299 | 0-30000 | | Heidelberg | 300-399 | 0-30000 | | MPI-Munich | 400-499 | 0-30000 | | Saclay | 500-599 | 0-30000 | | Wisconsin | 600-699 | 0-30000 | | Annecy | 700-799 | 0-30000 | | Barcelona | 800-899 | 0-30000 | | Bari | 900-999 | 0-30000 | | Beijing | 1000-1099 | 0-30000 | | Clermont-Fd | 1100-1199 | 0-30000 | | Copenhagen | 1200-1299 | 0-30000 | | Demokritos | 1300-1399 | 0-30000 | | Ecole Poly. | 1400-1499 | 0-30000 | | Edimburgh | 1500-1599 | 0-30000 | | Firenze | 1600-1699 | 0-30000 | | Florida | 1700-1799 | 0-30000 | | Frascati | 1800-1899 | 0-30000 | | Imperial Coll.| 1900-1999 | 0-30000 | | Innsbruck | 2000-2099 | 0-30000 | | Lancaster | 2100-2199 | 0-30000 | | Mainz | 2200-2299 | 0-30000 | | Marseille | 2300-2399 | 0-30000 | | Orsay | 2400-2499 | 0-30000 | | Pisa | 2500-2599 | 0-30000 | | RAL | 2600-2699 | 0-30000 | | Royal Hol.

So for safety and to avoid confusion later please follow this rule: run number = nnnd where 0 < nnn < 200 and d is country/comp. center dependant. d = 0 for CERN 1 CINECA 2 FSU 3 Heidelberg 4 Lyon 5 Munich/Mainz 6 RAL 7 Saclay 8 Wisconsin 9 other center/countries o Generator dependent cards are described in the sample card files. FINAL STEPS ----------- Put the REDWOOD in the VAULT or send them to Mme Michelle Marin (Bld. 2-R-007). Send a mail to isaxu@afal01.cern.ch and Marcello.Maggim@cern.ch with all relevant information (tapes, number of files, generation, number of events and cross-section). GENERAL REMARK -------------- Please check carefully the outputs (number of events in/out, time per events, size of events), read carefully the summaries produced by the programms (number of track per events, energy in calorimeters, EDIR classification etc...). Report quickly any problem or anomaly ! Good luck.
