19Please add to this README file all information concerning
20config files, simulation, digitalization, clusterization,
21reconstruction and macro analysis

24 How to check that your aliroot is working well
25==========================================================
26There is a script file AlirootRun_MUONtest.script which
27allows for simulating, reconstructing and making the
28invariant analysis of the generated Upsilon (1S).
29The used configuration file is Config.C in MUON
30directory.
31There you have to type :
32
33source $ALICE_ROOT/MUON/AlirootRun_MUONtest.script
34
35If you do not recover a few Upsilons in their mass region
36in the file MUONmassPlot.root

441 single muon of 7 GeV/c in the MUON spectrometer
45acceptance will be simulated using geant3.
46Hit information will be store in the root file in the
47execution directory.
88cb7938 48If you want to change the option or to define a new directory
49for hits, you have to do the following before:
50root [0] gAlice->SetConfigFunction("Config( \"/home/martinez/aliroot/work_NewIO/test/\" , \"box\" );");

100 How to run MUONdisplay
101============================================================
1eccde20 102First you need to perform a full simulation:
7985603c 103generation, digitalisation and clusterisation
cd0f8cc8 104To run MUONdisplay with Root 5.04/00 you need to get a fix in
105the gpad/src/TPad.cxx from Root CVS:
106 cvs update -r 1.200 gpad/src/TPad.cxx
107and recompile root.

113 Tracking parameters, cuts, energy loss and physics processes
114============================================================
115Tracking parameters in MUON are automatically defined by GEANT
116MUON takes the default values of CUTs and physics processes
117defined by the Config files, except for the gas mixture medium
118of the tracking chambers. The CUT's and physics processes of
119the gas mixture medium is then defined in the galice.cuts file
120in the data directory. In particular ILOSS parameter MUST be
121equal unity (1) in order simulate a realistic energy loss
122distribution (mean value and fluctuations) in the active gas.

124============================================================
125 Tracking of particle in the magnetic field
126============================================================
127GEANT has two ways for tracking charged particles in the
128magnetic field: HELIX et RKUTA.
129HELIX is faster and works well if the gradient of magnetic
130field is small.
131For MUON, HELIX is a not a good approximation and we must
132use RKUTA to get the optimal mass resolution of the
133spectrometer. The choice of HELIX or RKUTA is done in the
134config file when the magnetic field is defined:
135 AliMagFMaps* field = new AliMagFMaps("Maps","Maps", TRACKING, FACTOR, MAXB, AliMagFMaps::k4kG);
136 gAlice->SetField(field);
137TRACKING must be 1 for RKUTA and 2 for HELIX (the default value for aliroot is 2 (HELIX))
138FACTOR allows you to set the magnetic field to 0, just putting FACTOR=0. Default value is 1.
139MAXB is the maximum magnetic field which is 10.T

142 MUON cocktail for physics ..............
143===========================================================
144There is a MUON cocktail generator of the muon sources in the
145EVGEN directory. This class derives from AliGenCocktail.
146In the init of this class I have filled the cocktail with
147the muon sources: J/Psi, Upsilon, Open Charm, Open Beauty,
148Pion, Kaons. The code needs only the production cross section
149at 4pi (for the moment this values are in the code since I
150prefere them do not be modified), and the code calculates the
151rate of particles in the acceptance, making the scaling based
152on the number of collisions for the hard probes and on the
153number of participants for soft sources: Pions and Kaons.
154
155In the Genereate of this class all entries in the cocktail
156are called and we define a "primordial trigger" with requires
157a minimum number of muons above a Pt cut in the required acceptance.
158In order to normalized to the real number of simulated events,
159there are 2 data members in the class fNsuceeded adn fNGenerate
160which tell us what is the biais source.
161
162Enclose an example to use this generator:
163AliGenMUONCocktail * gener = new AliGenMUONCocktail();
164gener->SetPtRange(1.,100.); // Transverse momentum range
165gener->SetPhiRange(0.,360.); // Azimuthal angle range
166gener->SetYRange(-4.0,-2.4);
167gener->SetMuonPtCut(1.);
168gener->SetMuonThetaCut(171.,178.);
169gener->SetMuonMultiplicity(2);
35e21dec 170gener->SetImpactParameterRange(0.,5.); // 10% most centra PbPb collisions
f4f795ed 171gener->SetVertexSmear(kPerTrack);
172gener->SetOrigin(0,0,0); // Vertex position
173gener->SetSigma(0,0,0.0); // Sigma in (X,Y,Z) (cm) on IP position
174gener->Init();

208 How to run MUONRecoCheck macro
209============================================================
210To check the muon reconstruction by comparing the reconstructed tracks
211with the reference tracks made of "AliTrackReference" for the hits and
212kinematic informations (TParticle) for the vertex.
213This macro can be used to check the track reconstruction e.g. efficiency,
214momentum resolution ... but also to make physics analysis whenever
215track identification is needed.

227 How to run MUONTracker macro
228============================================================
229To make the track reconstruction directly from AliTrackReference hits
230which are recorded in TrackRefs.root during the simulation.
231It can be used to check the reconstruction without clusterization.
232

242 Macro MUONGenerateGeometryData.C
243===========================================================
244
245Macro for generating the geometry data files:
246(transform_*.dat, svmap_*.dat).
247- MUON/data/transform_*dat files contain all the information
248about the transformation (traslation + rotation) needed for
249the positionning of each detection element of the MUON
250spectrometer.
251- MUON/data/svmap_*.dat files contain all the information to link
252each geant volume (it can be extended to other virtual MC) with
253a detection element. The point here is that a given detection
254element, i.e. a slat chamber consists of many geant volumes.
255the correspondence is then defined in an input file.
256Eanch time there is a change in the virtual MC geometry, these
257input files must be re-generated via the macro
258MUONGenerateGeometryData.C
259
260To be run from aliroot:
261.x MUONGenerateGeometryData.C
262
263The generated files do not replace the existing ones
264but have different names (with extension ".out").
265To compare/replace the existing files with generated ones
266run the scripts in MUON/data:
504a69a4 267compare_data.sh [transform] [svmap ]
268reset_data.sh [transform] [svmap ]
