From Roberto(feels like reversed?):

f-tag is used to generate ESD(which is trashed), at t0 and AOD.

r-tag is the one for the daod (not entirely sure)

xAOD::IParticle - xAOD::AuxContainerBase

Pure-virtual base class for all particles.

• All objects of particle type(e, mu, gamma, jet, etc)
• clustered energy deposits.
• reconstructed charged particle tracks.
• e.g. xAOD::Muon_v1 is interfaced with xAOD::Muon

All particle objects are stored in "containers"

• like a vector of pointers to xAOD objects.

Objects can have references ("ElementLinks") to other objects

• Electron links to xAOD::TrackParticle or xAOD::CaloCluster.

xAOD::TrackParticle (AOD)

Created from Trk::Track (ESD)
Can hold track parameters at multiple positions, but usually only defining parameters.

xAOD::Egamma - xAOD::EgammaAuxContainer

Egamma Twiki

Helper functions:

• EgammaxAODHelpers.h: isElectron, isPhoton, isConvertedPhoton
• EgammaTruthxAODHelpers.h: getTruthParticle, getRecoElectron, getRecoPhoton (for egammaTruthParticles) , isTrueConvertedPhoton, getBkgElectronMother

xAOD::Electron - xAOD::ElectronAuxContainer

xAOD::Photon - xAOD::PhotonAuxContainer

For Photons, there is a “VertexContainer” instead of the TrackParticle container.

Helper functions:

• PhotonxAODHelpers.h: conversionType, conversionRadius, ...

How To Read xAOD

Can be accessed by vanilla ROOT(just usual version of root) interactively. Just to check mistakes.
