Environment Condition CMS CERN-LHC
Condition database includes non-event-related information (Alignment, Calibration, Temperature, etc.) and parameters for simulation/reconstruction/analysis software.
These files are needed when running a CMSSW job on the open data environment (VM or container), and they are available in the /cvmfs/cms-opendata-conddb.cern.ch file system. They are automatically read from /cvmfs/cms-opendata-conddb.cern.ch/FT_53_LV5_AN1_RUNA runtime.
FT_53_LV5_AN1_RUNA is to be used with the collision data of RunA 2011 (with the event range of the open data, the file for the full event range for 2011 are also stored under FT_53_LV5_AN1 on /cvmfs/cms-opendata-conddb.cern.ch).
See further information in the guide to CMS condition database.
For 2011 CMS simulated datasets see:
Condition data for 2011 CMS proton-proton simulated data at 7 TeV
If you are using the CMS Virtual Machine image or the CMS container image environments, then the condition data files will be served automatically from /cvmfs/cms-opendata-conddb.cern.ch/
or from a file server at runtime, and therefore you do not need to download these files. If you need to have them locally, you can download them from here.
The open data are released under the Creative Commons CC0 waiver. Neither the experiment(s) ( CMS ) nor CERN endorse any works, scientific or otherwise, produced using these data. All releases will have a unique DOI that you are requested to cite in any applications or publications.
