====== Analysing Monte Carlo events ======

The Monte Carlo files (truth level, fast simulations and full simulations) 
 can be accessed from the [[http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/hepsim/ | HepSim repository]] link. 
Currently these studies are based on  [[http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/jas4pp|Jas4pp data-analysis environment]].
Geometry files for full detector simulations can be found in the  [[http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/hepsim/soft/detectors/|detector repository]].


You have several choices for data analysis:

  * Using the hs-tools package as described in [[http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/hepsim/description.php|short description]]. It is designed for downloading files and processing truth-level files using Python/Jython scripts (or using Java)
  * Using [[http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/jas4pp/|Jas4pp]]. It is similar to the above package, but it has packages needed to process full-simulation samples (SLCIO files).
  * Using C++/ROOT. If you run over ProMC (truth-level) files, look at the manual [[asc:promc|ProMC manual]]. If you run over ROOT files from Delphes, use [[https://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/projects/delphes|Delphes manual]]. If you analyse LCIO files with full simulation, look at [[http://lcio.desy.de/v01-07/doc/manual_html/manual.html|LCIO manual]].

Some analysis examples implemented in Python and C++ can be found in [[fcs:fcchh:intro|here]]. Also look for specific topics given below.

======  Finding detector simulations  ======

Every entry in the HepSim has "truth-level" files (created by Monte Carlo generators) and reconstruction tags: Data after processing 
by the fast simulation program (Delphes) have the tag "rfastNNN" (NNN is a number), while data after full simulation have the tag "rfullNNN" (NNN is a number). The info pages for each sample has the link to the tag and the information page describing the detector.
 
If you need to find all samples for a given tag, use the [[http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/hepsim/search.php|search page]]. Then type the tag name.
For example, if you are searching for the "**rfull006**" reconstruction tag, this page  returns a complete list of Monte Carlo samples which were processed for a given detector.





======  Physics and detector studies  ======

 Here are several links to extending this Wiki for particular detector-performance topics:
 

  * [[fcs:fcchh:|FCC-hh detector studies]] - explains how to analyses data for FCC-hh detector studies
  * [[fcs:sid:intro|SID detector studies]] - explains how to analyses data for the SiD detector (ILC)
  * [[fcs:cepc:intro|CEPC detector studies]] - shows some results with full simulations for CEPC
  * [[fcs:eic:intro|EIC detector studies]] - shows some results with full simulations for EIC
  * [[vlhc:hcal|HCAL studies]] explains how to analyse ROOT data after fast detector simulations used for FCC studies

Currently these studies are based on  [[http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/jas4pp|Jas4pp data-analysis environment]].
Geometry files for full detector simulations can be found in the  [[http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/hepsim/soft/detectors/|detector repository]].

This manual describes how to work with truth-level samples posted on HepSim.
[[https://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/wikidoc/doku.php?id=community:refhepsim_analysis|HepSim Python/Java analysis page]] explains how to write code to read truth-level files using Python on the Java platform.
