Shared Files¶
Files in dk2nu
format¶
Files generated by the g4numi
and flugg
simulation contain entries representing decays of hadrons and muons that give rise to neutrinos. Original instances of these simulations resulted in files of various incompatible formats (h10
and nudata
ntuples). The plan is to migrate to the writing of dk2nu format. Existent files can be converted to the dk2nu
format (to the extent that they contain the minimum information). The dk2nu
format is suitable for the fluxreader tool and eventually direct GENIE use.
Short note on beam configuration file naming¶
Beam configuration are referenced in a compact form using a notation:
{tgt}{pullback}z{horncur}i
where
{tgt} | "le" | MINOS-era low energy target and horn 2 position |
"mn" | NOvA-era medium energy target and horn 2 position | |
"me" | ambigiuous, but generally synonym for "mn" | |
{pullback}z | nnn (cm) | for "le" targets distance the target was pulled back from the furthest it could go into the target |
000 | for "mn" target, as it is not adjustable | |
{horncur}i | 185 (kA) | nominal horn current for "le" configuration (though others possible) |
-185 | reverse horn current for "le" configuration (enhanced anti-neutrino production) | |
000 | horn off (both "le" and "mn") | |
200 | nominal horn current for "mn" configuration | |
-200 | reverse horn current for "mn" configuration |
Location of shared files¶
The short-term approach for sharing files across NuMI-X experiments is to use the /nusoft/data/flux
BlueArc disk. This is mounted on all the experiments interactive nodes, but isn't available on the grid worker nodes. The longer term solution is to migrate to using dCache
in conjunction with a SAM
catalogue. Moving to this will require filenames to be unique.
Most files should represent 500,000 protons-on-target (POTs), though this is not guaranteed, so check the the potnum
(previously evtno
) range makes sense, which should also be reflected in the metadata (dkmeta
tree) pots
value.
