Description
FairRoot is a software framework for detector simulation, reconstruction, and data analysis
developed at GSI for the experiments at the upcoming FAIR accelerator complex.
Started as a framework for experiments at the FAIR project, it is meanwhile also used by several experiments outside of GSI.
The framework is based on ROOT and Virtual Monte Carlo (VMC) and allows fast prototyping as well as stable usage.
FairRoot provides basic services which can be adapted and extended by the users. This includes easy to use interfaces for I/O, geometry definition and handling to name only few.
Modular reconstruction and/or analysis of simulated and/or real data can be implemented on the base of extended ROOT TTasks.
The design as well as the possible usage of the framework will be discussed.
