Run the full chain from simulation to reconstruction

Example parameter-sets

• CMSSW provides examples for parameter-sets in various places
  • Good place to look for examples
    • test directories of modules
    • Attention, those are primarily module dependent
  • Central place for common parameter-sets
    • package Configuration
  • Standard sequences like simulation and reconstruction can be found at
    • Configuration/StandardSequences/data
  • Good starting point for own parameter-sets including generation, simulation and reconstruction
    • Configuration/ReleaseValidation/data

Exercises

• Familiarize with example parameter-set: Configuration/ReleaseValidation/data/h_zz_4mu_allReco.cfg
  • Decompose it in components looking at paths and endpath
  • Resolve includes using the release in $CMSSW_RELEASE_BASE or the CVS browser
• Run example parameter-set:

cmsRun $CMSSW_RELEASE_BASE/src/Configuration/ReleaseValidation/data/h_zz_4mu_allReco.cfg

• Copy the parameter-set from the release area in the local directory

cp $CMSSW_RELEASE_BASE/src/Configuration/ReleaseValidation/data/h_zz_4mu_allReco.cfg .

• Change number of produced events to 10 by changing line

       untracked PSet maxEvents = {untracked int32 input = 1}

to

       untracked PSet maxEvents = {untracked int32 input = 10}

and run again

cmsRun h_zz_4mu_allReco.cfg
