Software Validation CMS CERN-LHC

Description

This code for validation and benchmarking of the Mu and MuMonitor datasets is set up at Research level, i.e. it requires university-student-level programming experience. Minimal acquaintance with Linux and the ROOT analysis package (https://root.cern.ch/) as well as a basic text editor is needed. Note that the code in this category is not meant to be a pedagogical example but is a validation tool.

The default output of the code below is a ROOT file Mu00val.root

Use with

Use this with 2010 Mu and/or MuMonitor primary datasets (see detailed instructions in readme.txt and code).

/Mu/Run2010B-Apr21ReReco-v1/AOD

/MuMonitor/Run2010B-Apr21ReReco-v1/AOD

System details

Use this code with the CMS Open Data VM environment
Software release: CMSSW_4_2_8

How can you use this?

If you do not have the CERN Virtual Machine for 2010 CMS data installed, follow the instructions in step 1 at How to install a CERN Virtual Machine. Then install and run the Demo (demo analyzer) program following the instructions at How to Test & Validate.

To run the Mu and/or MuMonitor sample validation, follow the instructions in the file readme.txt or follow the instructions in the github repository.
