CAF&PxAOD Tutorial
CERN
Extended PxAOD Code and CAF Tutorial
In addition to the material covered in this event, there is also a CAF tutorial website which is build to serve as a standalone guide for producing knowledgeable users of the framework from the ground up:
https://atlas-caf-tutorial.web.cern.ch/
Feel free to direct any questions to the following email lists:
qframework-users@cern.ch (for CAF related things)
atlas-phys-higgs-hww-prod@cern.ch (for PxAOD related things)
PREREQUISITES
To get as much out of this event as possible, you are encouraged to read through at least the "Getting Started" -> "Introduction", "Central Concepts", and "Analysis Checklist and Workflow" sections in the CAF tutorial website linked above.
Please bring your laptop to the event. In addition, make sure that you have a working access to lxplus. You should be able to:
- log into lxplus
- run 'setupATLAS' (please see the general ATLAS software tutorial if this is not the case yet)
- have some disk quota left on your CERN afs 'home' or 'work' directory (1 GB should be safe)
If you prefer to run on your own cluster, please indicate this in the registration. If there is high demand, we will send around the necessary input files ahead of time so that you can set things up.
If you are not yet subscribed to the 'qframework-users' e-group, please subscribe to it via https://e-groups.cern.ch/e-groups/EgroupsSearchForm.do (simply search for the group name, there should be exactly one result). This will not only ensure that you receive the latest news about CAF, but also allow us to quickly grant access rights to all participants where needed.
