Tips

• DQ diagnostic tools

• CheckHists.py : check monitoring HIST files; Git repo.
• checkxAODTrigger : check xAOD size. See Trigger Content in BS & xAOD

Run2 code

1. Define a new aigorithm:

• Trigger/TrigAlgorithms/TrigEFMissingET/python/TrigEFMissingETConfig.py

2. Define a new hypo:

• Trigger/TrigHypothesis/TrigMissingETHypo/python/TrigMissingETHypoConfig.py

3. Connect the new algorithm and hypo to a chain name:

• Trigger/TriggerCommon/TriggerMenu/python/met/MissingETDef.py

4. Add the new chain name to menu:

• Trigger/TriggerCommon/TriggerMenu/python/menu/SignatureDicts.py

5. Add a new menu to menu files:

• Trigger/TriggerCommon/TriggerMenu/python/menu/MC_pp_v8.py

6. Add a new xAOD container:

• Trigger/TriggerCommon/TrigEDMConfig/python/TriggerEDM.py

7. Need to check out Trigger/TriggerCommon/TriggerMenuXML to create menu xml files with the new chain.
8. After make, HLTConfig_*.xml files are created in build/x86.../XML/TriggerMenuXML/ folder.
