ATLASWatchMan Steering File Options List

doRunOnRealData

Set it to True when you run on real data (so not on MonteCarlo samples).

Among other settings, it triggers the storing of Luminosity Block Number per event, and it switches off the storing of Truth information and MC weight.

runOnAtlfast1

You have to set it to True if you want to run over AtlFast1 files. Collection names are then changed accordingly AtlFast naming scheme.

xSecFromSUSYTools

If you set it to True the value of the cross-section for the processed MC sample is taken from the xSectionLib.py in SUSYTools package.

You have to provide the dataset sample number at run time like here (e.g. 105200 for T1 ttbar ATLAS MC sample):

athena -c "SampleProcessNumber=105200" ../share/ATLASWatchMan_Generated-jobOptionAthena.py

The cross-section is then saved to the output file, inside the InfoTree, in the xSec branch.

storeLumiBlockDataQuality

Set it to True if you want to store in the output file the Info about Luminosity Block Data Quality.

In order to store this info, you first need to run a script to get Lumi Block DQ data for the run you are interested in. The script is the detStatus_query.py from the ATLAS package DetectorStatus. You have to save the output of this script in a file according to this format:

Lumiblock: 118   Status:  0   0   0   0   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0  0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0  0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

In one line of the file you should put the order of the subdetector masks.

The file has to be named like table121251_det.txt for run 121251.

(In Freiburg you can use Florian Ahles's script under D3PDAnalyzer/Users/Dataquality ).

Then you have to provide the run number at Athena command line, like: athena -c "RunNumber=121251" ../share/ATLASWatchMan_Generated-jobOptionAthena.py
