Minutes of DC2 SUSY WG discussion 25/05/04

Priorities for DC2 post-production (continuous production phase)
(beginning August?) are:

(1) a second coannihilation point;
(2) DC1 point with initial geometry;
(3) a Focus Point model.

Post production samples will be run by physics WG (i.e. us!). We've
been asked to nominate a person to validate generation with atlfast
and to submit the jobs on the grid (with appropriate training!).

For initial reconstruction of original DC1 SUSY sample we shall use
release 8.2.0. Currently there are no truthjets available, and Moore
only works on G4 files. Consequently we will need to check out some
additional packages from the nightlies to at least give us
truthjets. Will probably only be able to use Muonbox for muons (nice
plots already from Tomasso for a few hundred events).

For logistics, people should try to get 8.2.0 running on their local
systems from the distribution kit, and download some of the 002315
simulation output SUSY files from CASTOR (note these were redigitised)
or BNL/LBL. At the same time some reconstructed data files will also
be made publicly accessible for people to download if they
cannot run reconstruction locally. Suitable job-options will also be
made available.

Regarding the new DC2 samples - a few hundred coannihilation and old
DC1 events have been simulated with G4. The main production of new
events has not started yet. The current small scale output will be
made publically available.

For reconstruction Frank has now produced a perl script to automate
the rebuilding of RecoCBNT (now updated on the web-page). Output from
reconstruction in 8.2.0 will be ROOT files as PAT framework not ready
yet. Consequently people should use RecoCBNT702 to do their analysis.
