HSG5 SVN area for analysis code

• ATLAS-OFFLINE is there for version control of analysis software and common tools: PhysicsAnalysis/HiggsPhys/HSG5
  • H->bb analysis code, should be in this sub-area: PhysicsAnalysis/HiggsPhys/HSG5/Hbb

HSG5 SVN area for documentation

• ATLAS-GROUP should host the latex source of HSG5 notes atlasphys/Physics/Higgs/HSG5
  • In particular, documentation of 7TeV results should be in this sub-area: atlasphys/Physics/Higgs/HSG5/data_7TeV

Quick instructions to handle note drafts in SVN

One can browse the HSG5 area here with Trac. The HEAD of the code is stored in trunk/ directory. All the various snapshots are stored in the tags/ directory. If commiting/tagging a change to a note or associated code, please consider following these steps:

• Initial setup: export SVNROOT=svn+ssh://"USERNAME"@svn.cern.ch/reps/atlasphys
  
  • (e.g.: for user jgoncalo export SVNROOT=svn+ssh://jgoncalo@svn.cern.ch/reps/atlas-jgoncalo )
  • OLD: (e.g.: for user jgoncalo export SVNROOT=svn+ssh://jgoncalo@svn.cern.ch/reps/atlasphys )
• Setup editor: export SVN_EDITOR="emacs -nw"
• Check out a 'tagged' version e.g.:

  svn co $SVNROOT/Physics/Higgs/HSG5/data_7TeV/ATL_COM_PHYS_2010_292/tags/ATL_COM_PHYS_2010_292-00-00-XX

• Make changes to code/note
• Edit ChangeLog, in emacs CTRL-x 4 a creates blank entry. Ensure new proposed tag is written in to ChangeLog and all Modified/Added files listed. Try to describe your change in words.
• Check no merge conflicts (C) e.g.: svn status
• Now make sure you are in the directory where the ChangeLog file is, then switch to the HEAD of the TRUNK (Gets changes from HEAD in trunk/ to local copy):
  svn switch $SVNROOT/Physics/Higgs/HSG5/data_7TeV/ATL-COM-PHYS-2010-292/trunk
• Re-check no merge conflicts (C) e.g.: e.g.: svn status
  • if any files appear with a 'C' against them you MUST resolve this conflict before proceeding!
• Commit to SVN e.g.: svn ci -m "See ChangeLog"
• Tag in SVN:
  

  svn cp  $SVNROOT/Physics/Higgs/HSG5/data_7TeV/ATL_COM_PHYS_2010_292/trunk $SVNROOT/Physics/Higgs/HSG5/data_7TeV/ATL_COM_PHYS_2010_292/tags/ATL_COM_PHYS_2010_292-XX-YY-ZZ

  • where ZZ at least is a new number.
• Then, ion the case of a note, the .pdf should then be replaced here in CDS.

Recipes: Looking at rates from older runs:

1. Using  WTRP  https://atlasop.cern.ch/atlas-point1/wmi/current/WTRP_wmi/

1.  Root macros from Tomasz in lxplus:

$ ~tbold/public/draw_rates.py -p http -a 145981, see also
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/TriggerOnlineExpertManual#Trigger_rate_monitoring

For example, this command on lxplus will plot b trigger rates:

$ ~tbold/public/draw_rates.py -p http -a 155116 -l
$ ~tbold/public/draw_rates.py -p http -a 155116 -r "L2 L2_b.*output" --smooth=50

1.  Same source, but using TRP for displaying, in lxplus:

~aagaard/public/rateHistory/rateHistory.sh <runnumber>

1.  Last 24 hours including DAQ info in TRP, but only at 1 minute intervals:

 pcatr:  ~aagaard/ISMirror/rates.sh

1. Rate predictions and comparisons with online:
   • From Olya's page
   • From Emanuel's page
