Goal of the page
Listing the available alignment constants (
Alignments, records
TrackerAlignmentRcd
,
CSCAlignmentRcd
and
DTAlignmentRcd
), alignment position errors (
APE, records
TrackerAlignmentErrorRcd
,
CSCAlignmentErrorRcd
and
DTAlignmentErrorRcd
) and surface deformations (
record TrackerSurfaceDeformationRcd
) with their "interval of validty" (IOV, for alignment it is a range of run numbers) with some comments about validity. Also the tags of the
GlobalPositonRcd
, defining the relative position of the subdetectors, is listed.
Tracker Survey information is currently documented on a different page.
General Information
Usual jobs should access constants via global tags.
SWGuideFrontierConditions lists the existing global tags and tells you how to find out which record specific tags belong to them.
More up-to-date information about existing tags and their IOVs can always be found via the database web interface command line tools like cmscond_list_iov.
Database Connection Strings
In the following <abX> is release series specific and stands for e.g. 20X. CMSSW_2_2_X uses
CMS_COND_21X_ALIGNMENT
as well.
Reading
- Using Frontier (recommended):
frontier://FrontierProd/CMS_COND_<abX>_ALIGNMENT
-
cms_cond_Xyz
tools might need frontier://cmsfrontier.cern.ch:8000/FrontierProd/CMS_COND_<abX>_ALIGNMENT
- Directly accessing database (for very rare test):
oracle://cms_orcon_adg/CMS_COND_<abX>_ALIGNMENT
- Note special case for CMSSW_2_Y_X constants migrated to CMSSW_3_1_X:
frontier://FrontierProd/CMS_COND_31X_FROM21X
- All CMSSW_3_X_Y (and even CMSSW_4_X_Y) releases read from
CMS_COND_31X_ALIGNMENT
(or CMS_COND_31X_FROM21X
, see above)
- There is also
CMS_COND_310X_ALIGN
hosting (for technical reasons) the surface deformations, readable since CMSSW_3_10_X.
- See also the hypernews
about connect strings for (future) reprocessings.
Writing
- Please follow the naming conventions for tags given in ConditionsTagNaming, see also GlobalTagPolicy.
- Development/preparation DB (copied to production DB once release is closed, medium expert task):
oracle://cms_orcoff_prep/CMS_COND_ALIGNMENT
- Recommended way for regular uploads: DropBoxOffline
- Online DB (expert task within .CMS cluster, see ClusterUsersGuide):
- The dropbox mechanism using the directory
/nfshome0/popcondev/AlignJob/
was recommended way - still working? Better use offline dropbox above.
- Uploading directly using
cms_cond_Xyz
tools (might not work anymore):
- Real DB (streamed to offline production DB):
oracle://cms_orcon_prod/CMS_COND_<abX>_ALIGNMENT
- For testing (not streamed):
oracle://orcon/CMS_COND_<abX>_ALIGNMENT

However: 31X reconstruction includes ME4/2, while 22X reconstruction does not. Therefore, CSCAlignmentRcds used in 31X must be specially-prepared, with the "310me42" substring in the tagname.

Constants for Monte Carlo
A tag should have unlimited IOV, i.e. from run 1 to infinity. If that is not the case, please state explicitely.
A brief documentation of the misalignment scenarios and links to more detailed information should be found at
AlCaScenarios.
GlobalPositions Monte Carlo Constants
The content of any tag for the
GlobalPositionRcd
can be investigated using the configuration file at


.
Tracker Monte Carlo Constants
A
python
script named
create_scenarios.py has been used to create, validate and upload the database objects for the misalignment scenarios and ideal geometry. Please note that the script has to be run in a CMSSW environment after the
cmsenv
command. You also need the
scenarios.ini configuration file. It still needs
to be converted to use python configuration language.

The scenarios below are derived running the alignment algorithms on MC samples reconstructed with the IDEAL geometries but using as starting geometry for the alignment the geometry determined from the DATA.
Therefore they contain relative misalignment of the components of the 'double sided' strip modules to each other. Note that some of the dof can be not misaligned in case they were not determined in the DATA (e.g. they have always been set to their IDEAL value). The geometries are centered around BPIX.

However: 31X reconstruction includes ME4/2, while 22X reconstruction does not. Therefore, CSCAlignmentRcds used in 31X must be specially-prepared, with the "310me42" substring in the tagname.
