GENIE at FNAL¶
This is the wiki page for GENIE work being done at FNAL
Official GENIE site¶
The full GENIE project is located at: http://www.genie-mc.org
The source code can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/GENIE-MC
Documentation¶
GENIE as a UPS product¶
The GENIE code is available from genie.hepforge.org
, but needs to be compiled in a manner consistent with other products it depends on (ROOT, LHAPDF, etc) and with any framework it might be used within (e.g. ART). Many of the FNAL experiments use UPS to share these installations.
Cross-section splines¶
In order to use GENIE for event generation one must have generated cross-section splines for any and all desired combinations of neutrino an flavor and nuclear isotope. Versions of these spline files that are adequate for the FNAL experiments are distributed via UPS.

Flux handling for GENIE and FNAL experiments¶
Event generation for realistic experimental setups relies on a non-trivial characterization of the neutrino flux. The GNuMIFlux
code exists to handle many of the data products of the NuMI flux simulations. The GSimpleNtpFlux
format is a simplified ntuple containing the bare minimum of data for neutrino rays; such files can be derived from GNuMIFlux
interpretations of the beam simulations evaluated at a given detector location.
Future "flux" file are to be migrated to using the dk2nu
ntuple format: https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/nusoftart/wiki/Dk2nu
Running gevgen_fnal
¶
In many cases genie
event generation will occur as a stage embedded in the art
framework. Information on that can be found as part of the nutools
and/or nugen
project ( https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/nutools/wiki and https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/nugen ).
