NOvA » NOvA Production

We need to generate Monte Carlo to model the ND Top-up (up through the 2015 shutdown start). I dug up an old message from Ryan detailing the expected file count:

===============
The DQ group (Joao) has prepped an updated ND good subruns list. I've carved out the new subruns since the last MC generation and converted the list into production format. It's here:

/nova/app/users/rbpatter/runlists/nd_numi_topup_subrunlist_20150724_30secadded.vec

As with the FD top-up, the easiest thing for analyzers is to weight the top-up sample in proportion to its p.o.t. This argues for 17,492 files generated with this subrun list. (topup pot / orig pot = 0.87563, and orig Nfiles = 19,976).

As before, we should make sure we aren't running GENIE-reweight on the rock events to keep production time reasonable. ===============

We should generate about twice the number Ryan suggests, as we will have also roughly doubled the FA ND Monte Carlo dataset.
