Software Tool Analysis Workflow Heavy-ion physics CMS CERN-LHC
This is an example of the C++ code (and its configuration in Python) needed to extract information from CMS heavy-ion data and write them to a derived dataset. An example analysis routine is provided to illustrate how to analyse data in this derived output file. These instructions are valid to work with 2011 data. Snippets of this software can be used for physics analysis.
The examples, within the code, have in-line comments to make it more understandable and to point potential users to the original information sources. It has been put together compiling the most important pieces of already-available CMSSW software.
Use this with
CMS 2011 heavy-ion data and releated proton-proton datasets
If you do not have the slc5-based 2010 CMS Open Data VM installed, follow the instructions in step 1 at How to install a CERN Virtual Machine. Or, alternatively, install the corresponding Docker container.
To run the analysis, follow the instructions at https://github.com/cms-opendata-analyses/HiForestProducerTool/tree/2011.
