Doing analysis with the Mini

The Mini-DST file(s) to be read (data or event directory) should be declared with a standard FILI card. ALPHA will convert the Mini-DST banks to POT banks, and the ALPHA variables will be filled. The logical XMINI will be set to .TRUE..

Since the Mini-DST contains many of the basic quantities from the POT/DST, most of the ALPHA quantities are available from the Mini-DST, and most of the ALPHA code will work. Below is a list of quantities which are NOT available on the Mini-DST - there may be others.

• XTCN: all
• FRFT: KFRFNO.
• FRTL: KFRTNE, KFRTNR.
• FRID: KFRIBC, KFRIBC, KFRIPE, KFRIPM, KFRIPI, KFRIPK, KFRIPP, KFRINK.
• EIDT: QEIDEC, QEIDRI(I,N=1,4,5).
• PECO: QPECEC, KPECKD, KPEPPC.
• PEPT: all.
• PHCO: QPHCER, KPHCKD, KPHCCC, KPHCRB, KPHCPC.
• YV0V: KYV0IC.
• EGPC: QEGPR1, QEGPR2, QEGPF4, QEGPDM, KEGPST. Note that EGPC is obsolete since MINI 9.0 .
• EFOL: KEFOLC.
• Vertex: QVEM.

The energy flow stored on the Mini-DST corresponds to the ENFLW algorithm; PCPA was available also until MINI 8.6 .

All of ALPHA's event topology routines work with the Mini-DST. Also, the routines described in Ch. 12 may be used. In particular, QMUIDO, QDEDXM, QPAIRF, QVDHIT, and XVDEOK will work.

A few packages cannot run on the MINI, e.g. QEWSUM for datasets written with MINI 10.2 and before, or VDHMATCH for all MINIs.
