- Our Pythia samples
For some notes on how to access files like this. You can open them in root:
import ROOT
f = ROOT.TFile.Open("root://cmsxrootd.fnal.gov///store/mc/RunIISummer20UL18RECO/HSCPgluino_M-1000_TuneCP5_13TeV-pythia8/AODSIM/106X_upgrade2018_realistic_v11_L1v1-v2/80000/176F47D3-A514-454B-82D4-019163A330F9.root")or you can copy them to whereever you want with:
xrdcp root://cmsxrootd.fnal.gov///store/mc/RunIISummer20UL18RECO/HSCPgluino_M-1000_TuneCP5_13TeV-pythia8/AODSIM/106X_upgrade2018_realistic_v11_L1v1-v2/80000/176F47D3-A514-454B-82\
D4-019163A330F9.root .I've already downloaded an example file to get you started here /afs/cern.ch/user/l/leejr/work/public/ISRStudy//sampleFiles/176F47D3-A514-454B-82D4-019163A330F9.root
In order to see the contents of these files in an effective way you need to be in a CMSSW environment. Instructions for setting up CMSSW from Tamas:
cmsrel CMSSW_10_6_30
cd CMSSW_10_6_30/src/
cmsenv
scram b -jThen you'll be able to run the truth.py example skeleton file from this repo.
The syntax for truth.py looks like this
python truth.py inputFiles_load=batch_of_files.list outputFile=dir/name_PYTHIA.root outputFilename=name_PYTHIA isAOD=True targetMass=100
You can instead opt to hand truth.py a single ROOT file by using 'inputFiles' rather than 'inputFiles_load'
isAOD takes a boolean and will change the status between 22 and 23 based on if the samples are AOD or MINIAOD
targetMass takes an int and refers to the mass of an individual particle in an event
Instructions for generating .list files to pass to truth.py
Once path to the dataset has been found from DAS, this command will generate the .list with the entries in the appropriate format.
dasgoclient -query="file dataset=<dataset path>" | sed 's%^%root://cmsxrootd.fnal.gov//%' > ./input-files/<filename>.list
The .list can then be passed to truth.py with the inputFiles_load command as outlined above.
Helpful tips when running truth.py
It may be useful to record the output of truth.py while also observing the output in the terminal. Rather than redirecting the output stream with >, consider using tee. Example:
python truth.py inputFiles_load='./input-files/<input-list>.list' outputFilename='./output-files/<output_filename>.root' targetMass=200 isAOD=False printEvery=10000 2>&1 | tee ./text-logs/<log filename>.txt
Note that this will overwrite the log.txt if run again. This is generally desireable, but you can append to an exisiting file by adding the -a flag to tee. 2>&1 Ensures that the error outputstream is passed to tee so that any error output is recorded in the log.
When passing Madgraph samples to truth.py, the target status must be given as a flag. Example:
python truth.py inputFiles_load='./input-files/<input-list>.list' outputFilename='./output-files/<output-filename>.root' targetMass=1000 isAOD=False printEvery=1000 targetStatus=62 2>&1 | tee ./text-logs/<log-filename>.txt
Status Code
When inputting madgraph files use targetStatus=62
