TAUPLUS:

A DELPHI Tau Physics Analysis Package
Version 5.4

TAUPLUS Coordinator

• D. Edsall

TAUPLUS is a software package which was conceived of by Team 3 in 1992 as the package to be used by Team 3 members in order to have consistency between different tau analyses being done by members of the tau team. TAUPLUS is a re-writing of the PJTAG software with which some members of the collaboration may be familiar. Information about where to find the software and documentation is listed at the end of this post. At LEP-200 TAUPLUS is used by a number of analyses with low multiplicity topologies.

TAUPLUS is designed as two separate sub-packages which work well together:

1. steering routines which perform data I/O in an I/O package independent manner, i.e. you can use either PHDST or UX or a combination of the two
2. physics routines which work with arrays, ZEBRA pointers and the UX commons which thus makes them independent of the routines used to perform the I/O. You can thus use these routines in any analysis you wish, provided you pass them their required arguments

The package currently is composed of four libraries, three for the different types of I/O and one for the physics routines. They have been compiled and tested on the following platforms:

• ALPHAOSF

  DEC ALPHA workstations running DIGITAL UNIX

• HPUX

  HP 9000 series running HP/UX

• IBMRT

  IBM RS6000 series running AIX

• LINUX

  Intel PC running REDHAT 5.x and 6.x

• ALPHAVMS

  DEC ALPHA workstations running VMS

• VAXVMS

  DEC VAXstations running VMS

Porting of the software is very easy, provided you have the DELPHI libraries installed. You can find the software in the tau task area in the following places (note 8/3/2001 - it has moved recently from the team3 account):

• AFS ( and PLUS Services )

  • The card files, (including a directory containing all the files needed for the example program example.car) are in the tau task area in /afs/cern.ch/delphi/tasks/tau/team3/share/tauplus. The TAUPLUS card file, tauplus.car, can also be found with the rest of the DELPHI card files pointed to by the DELPHI environment variable DELPHI_PAM.
  • The libraries are in the tau task area in /afs/cern.ch/delphi/tasks/tau/team3/.@sys/lib where @sys refers to the architecture which you are using. Currently this includes
    • DIGITAL UNIX
    • HP/UX
    • IBM/AIX
    • LINUX/REDHAT 5.x and 6.x
    You can determine which architecture you are using with the AFS command

    fs sysname

    The libraries can also be found with the rest of the DELPHI libraries in the directory pointed to by the DELPHI environment variable DELPHI_LIB.

    Please note that the most up-to-date library versions can be found in the directory

    /afs/cern.ch/delphi/tasks/tau/team3/.@sys/lib/dev

  • The scripts for running the example program and creating libraries are under the Team 3 account /afs/cern.ch/delphi/tasks/tau/team3/share/bin

• VMS

  All libraries, card files and command procedure files (including those for the example program) can be found under the Team 3 account in VXCERN::DISK$DELPHI1:[TEAM3.TAUPLUS]. In addition, the TAUPLUS card file and the TAUPLUS libraries can be found with the rest of the DELPHI card files in the directories referenced by the DELPHI logicals DELPHI_PAM: and DELPHI_LIB:
