This is an assorted notes on many aspects I faced in HEP, continuously building up. Knowledge and purely technical guides are mixed up.

SeriesOfFacts

Physics

• Physics of Generating events
  • Technical detail related to Powheg-BOX-V2
• Pileup: Some official twiki to introduce Pileup/Pileup reweighting. Pileup, an unavoidable phenomena that occurred when we're running with high luminosity. In order to increase the luminosity, more beam particles are squeezed into the same space, therefore increasing the chance of interaction. With this, we also have unwanted non-deep inelastic interactions that produced pileup jets. The rate of those kind of process can be described by number of vertices(which is used in run 1), or more precisely the average interaction per crossing <μ>.

Pre-Analysis Preparation

• Trigger: Reduce data rate, reject background event, for read-out to be able to process events in time.

Generator related technical things

I have modified and installed a <a data-wikiword="TopDrawer" href="https://gitlab.cern.ch/rowang/TopDrawer" target="_blank"> TopDrawer </a> to visualize .top files generated after generators like powheg.

batch kill panda jobs

Pbook show allows wildcard, but kill doesn't (isn't this silly?) So you can direct the print out from show to a string, and then do some formatting to pass them to kill(), in a loop. Modify the matching_string to your wildcard string

import sys
 # python 2
from cStringIO import StringIO
# python3 
# from io import StringIO
matching_string = "user.rowang.WVZ_v1.2.364*"
old_stdout = sys.stdout; sys.stdout = mystdout = StringIO(); show(taskname = matching_string); sys.stdout = old_stdout
# reviewing your output ID parent
for i in mystdout.getvalue().split("\n")[2:-1]: print i.split()[0], i.split()[4]; 
# actual delete!
for i in mystdout.getvalue().split("\n")[2:-1]:  kill(int(i.split()[0]));

• Root: Experience that I had dealing with ROOT.
• GitLab: tutorial By Will Buttinger: Link. * How to write readme.md plain text syntax
• How to prevent disconnected by lxplus when you idle for a few minutes? See this NAT related article. 120 second works for me.
• Where to save files on lxplus? EOS! How to read eos on a non-fusemount machine: ATLASStorageAtCERN
• Condor: on occasion, the condor schedd you're allocated to becomes busy, you can change the env var, e.g.
  • _CONDOR_SCHEDD_HOST=bigbird15.cern.ch _CONDOR_CREDD_HOST=bigbird15.cern.ch
• Host related issue: SetupServer
• X11 forwarding not working sometimes!
  • In /private/etc/ssh/sshd_config

  • set X11Forwarding yes

  • X11UseLocalhost yes

  • If you are using su account to carry out some command(for some raw ethernet package, etc), you need to add magic cookie to this sudo account:
  • First login to your account <user>, then su, then

  • xauth add $(xauth -f ~<user>/.Xauthority list|tail -1)

Workflow

1. Connect all the frontend boards correctly.
2. Load your json/miniDaq config files to FELIX GUI, tune the parameter(according to connection, which felix server, etc).
3. Save the json file and OpcServer xml file on a place felix server can access.
4. Set up felix server and run felixcore and OpcServer.
5. Open partition, click Initialize->Config->Run, to take data, and then Stop to stop taking data.
6. Analyze the binary data ended with .data. (decode into TTree see below).

Technicalities

Related concepts and manual:

• FELIX is like a big data router, and running it doesn't rely on any other thing. See this FELIX manual for setting up and running FELIX. List of Felix server:
  • um-felix1.cern.ch
  • um-felix2.cern.ch
• The FELIX GUI is a stand-alone application that can generate board configuration, opc configuration, visualize and modify parameters in a better way than json. You can run it in principle on any machine. Or choose not to use it.
• The partition is the very same thing used to control ATLAS data taking. The config segment relis on FELIX and OpcServer to send HDLC frame, software ReadOut Driver(swROD) relies on FELIX for data readout. See the manual here as how to run partition with three segments swROD(ROx), TTC, Config. And also how to decode the data into a TTree. List of working swROD server:
  • um-felix1-swrod.cern.ch
  • um-felix2-swrod.cern.ch
  • um-felix2-swrod-supermicro.cern.ch
• TTC server:
  • um-felix1-spc.cern.ch
  • um-felix2-spc.cern.ch
• Here is a very nice summary from our neighbor MicroMegas (MM).
• How to use UaExpert on our FELIX machines: `setupUaExpert; uaexpert`
• Server related issues are summarized here: SetupServer. See also Computing section.
• Open points:
  • Scalability: it scalse well to one wedge/12+12 boards. one thing we learned is GBTx phase need to be saved and tuned after ROC is configured.
  • Stability: how long can the system run? Cooling issue: observed crashes, power off to cool down.
  • swROD production machine cannot run partition. - still debugging
