A mini-tutorial for EIC LDRD work

A first version of an “all-silicon” detector for EIC is posted to the HepSim detector geometry repository. Look for the detector called sieic1. The description link describes this detector. A working name of this detector is SiEIC (v1). Take time and study this detector.

You can visualize the SiEIC detector using Java (Jas4pp) or ROOT/C++. This assumes that you are using the bash shell on Linux/Mac with Java8 (Windows will be discussed later). Install Jas4pp program and run these commands to install the hepsim package:

wget http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/jas4pp/download/current.php -O jas4pp.tgz
tar -zvxf jas4pp.tgz
cd jas4pp
source ./setup.sh # takes 5 sec for first-time optimization

Then copy the detector geometry file to the local directory where the file “jas4pp” is:

wget http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/hepsim/soft/detectors/sieic1/sieic1.heprep

Now we can visualize the detector as [File]-[Open data source]-[HepRep] XML and select file “sidloi3.heprep”. This is how to do this using the command line:

jas4pp sieic1.heprep

Now you should see the detector layout. Read more on Jas4pp here.

You can also visualize the detector using ROOT. Here are a few steps:

wget http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/hepsim/soft/detectors/sieic1/sieic1.gdml.gz
gunzip sieic1.gdml.gz
root # start root and type:
TGeoManager::Import("sieic1.gdml");
gGeoManager->GetTopVolume()->Draw("ogl");

You can get an image like this. You can explore different volumes by making them visible/invisible.

The goal of this tutorial is to show how to benchmark this detector using single electrons. You can calculate Q2 and x_bj from the position of reconstructed electrons, and calculate the resolution and efficiency.

First, look at the prepared sample of electrons. This sample is called pgun_elec_eta45_30gev. Use this EVGEN tutorial for studying such files. Check the files as:

hs-ls pgun_elec_eta45_30gev # check truth level files

You can download EVGEN files and run jobs locally. You can also stream data to the analysis program. Here is a simple validation test assumed that you have setup Jas4pp and Linux/Mac prompt:

wget http://mc.hep.anl.gov/asc/hepsim/events/misc/pgun/pgun_eta45_p30_elec/macros/check_promc_single.py
fpad check_promc_single.py

It makes a few distributions. You can try to calculate Q2 and x_bj using position and energy of the truth-level electrons. Look at the Analysis tutorial.

You can download all files as:

hs-get pgun_elec_eta45_30gev

Each detector in HepSim has “reconstruction” tag, i.e. a data folder where files after simulation and reconstruction are located. How to find the name of such folder? Click this link: check sieic1 tag. It shows that this detector has the tag rfull051. The reconstruction tags are shown in the info page of this sample pgun_elec_eta45_30gev. List available files after the full simulation and reconstruction using rfull051 tag:

hs-ls pgun_elec_eta45_30gev%rfull051

Note that the number of files is less than EVGEN files due to some OSG problem. We usually reconstruct 1000 events from EVGEN files. To download the fully simulated and reconstructed events in the LCIO format, use:

hs-get pgun_elec_eta45_30gev%rfull051

You can analyse LCIO files using either Python scripts or C++. For Python/Jython scripts, use examples located in the directory “examples” of the Jas4pp program. You can run such scripts using “fpad” (Linux/Mac) or jaspp GUI (Windows).

Look at the tutorial here. It also has a C++ package to read SLCIO files.

Here is an example of plotting the distribution of pseudorapidity for truth and reconstructed electrons: mc_electrons.py. After you have finished downloading the files, you will see the directory “pgun_elec_eta45_30gev%rfull051”. Run the example python code as:

hs-get pgun_elec_eta45_30gev%rfull051  # get all data
wget https://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/wikidoc/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=fcs:eic:mc_electrons.py -O mc_electrons.py
fpad mc_electrons.py                   # make a plot with Eta

This code creates this image of the SiEIC-v1 detector:

You can use this template to study:

• electron efficiency as a function of pT
• electron efficiency as a function of Eta in bins of pT
• resolution as a function of pT and Eta
• duplicate tracks
• fake rate (cannot be done with this sample!)
• calculate Q2 and x_bj, check efficiency and resolutions for these variable

If you already setup Jas4pp program, you can visualize the reconstructed events. we will read the simulated events: Open any *.slcio file you copied from HepSim using the menu [File]-[Open data source]-[LCIO] For e-p events, use this LCIO file from rfull051.

wget http://mc.hep.anl.gov/asc/hepsim/events/misc/pgun/pgun_eta45_p30_elec//rfull051/pgun_elec30gev_001_pandora.slcio

Then click a small button [Go] (top menu bar). It will process events. Then select again [File]-[New]-[Wired 4 view]. If you want to see how data records are organized inside the slcio file, do this [File]-[New]-[LCSim Event browser]

Here are images of ep collision with a scattered electron identified using the PFA. The images were done using DIS ep samples http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/hepsim/info.php?item=159. Reconstructed electron energy from PFA: E=16.92 GeV “EVGEN” energy: 16.90 GeV
