Software Validation CMS CERN-LHC
This code for validation reproduces AOD format in this record from the 2011 MinimumBias RAW sample. It only contains the configuration file to be run on 2011 OpenData VM using CMSSW_5_3_32. No compilation is required. The configuration file has been slightly modified from the original one to take into account the OpenData computing environment (global tag, input file, commenting out unnecessary steps). Note that the code in this category is not meant to be a pedagogical example but is a validation tool.
Use this with the following dataset:
The AOD produced by this code can be validated by comparing histograms produced with the Validation code to plot basic physics objects from AOD from the reprocessed AOD and the original AOD, and the histograms, when run over the same event numbers, are found to be equal.
If you do not have the CERN Virtual Machine for 2011 CMS data installed, follow the instructions in step 1 and step 2 at How to install a CERN Virtual Machine. Then follow the instructions in GitHub.
