28 @section intro Introduction:
30 This file contains a short overview of the FMD code. It is by no
31 means authoritative - only the code is good for that. However,
32 I'll try to explain things a bit here.
34 @section structure Structure:
36 There are 4 libraries build for the FMD. These are
38 - libFMDbase: This contains the basic stuff, like data classes and
40 - libFMDsim: This contains code used by the simulation only. That
41 includes the detector class AliFMD and it's derivatives. It
42 also contains the code for building the geometry, as well as the
43 digitisers and raw data writer.
44 - libFMDrec: Code needed for the reconstruction. This include the
45 reconstruction code itself, as well as a raw data reader.
46 - libFMDutil: This is a special library that contains various
47 utility classes for the FMD expert/developer/tester. It
48 includes code to read all data produced by the FMD, a simple
49 event display, and code to make fake calibration and alignment
50 data. This library is @e not loaded by aliroot
51 automatically. The user has to load it herself:
53 gSystem->Load("libFMDutil.so");
55 The content of these libraries is detailed more below.
57 @subsection base libFMDbase:
59 This currently (18th or March 2006) contains the classes
61 - AliFMDBaseDigit, AliFMDDigit, AliFMDSDigit: Base class for
62 digits, real digits, and summable digits. The are all data
63 classes that holds the ADC value(s) for a single strip.
64 - AliFMDBoolMap: A map of booleans, one for each strip.
65 - AliFMDUShortMap: A map of unsigned short integers, one for each
67 - AliFMDDetector, AliFMD1, AliFMD2, AliFMD3: 3 classes that holds
68 the parameters for each of the 3 FMD sub-detectors. These
69 derive from AliFMDDetector, and are managed by AliFMDGeometry.
70 Each of these also contains the translation from sensor
71 reference frame to global reference frame.
72 - AliFMDRing: Parameters for the FMD rings (inner and outer type).
73 These are managed by AliFMDGeometry.
74 - AliFMDGeometry: Manager of FMD geometry data. All code queries
75 this manager for geometry parameters, so that the data is always
77 - AliFMDParameters: Manager of FMD parameters, like calibration
78 parameters. This class fetches data from CDB if necessary.
79 All code queries this manager for parameters, so that the data
81 - AliFMDCalibPedestal, AliFMDCalibGain, AliFMDCalibSampleRate,
82 AliFMDAltroMapping: Containers of calibration parameters. These
83 correspond to the pedestal and its width, the gain of each
84 strip, the oversampling rate used in read-out, and the map from
85 hardware address to detector.
86 - AliFMDAltroIO, AliFMDAltroReader, AliFMDAltroWriter: Low-level
87 classes to do input/output on ALTRO formated buffers.
91 @subsection sim libFMDsim:
93 This currently (18th or March 2006) contains the classes
95 - AliFMDEdepMap: Cache of energy deposited and total number of
96 hits for each strip. The digitiser AliFMDDigitizer uses this to
97 store simulation data before making digits.
98 - AliFMDHit: A hit in the FMD active elements, as described by the
99 simulation back-end during transport.
100 - AliFMD, AliFMDv0, AliFMDv1: Simulation drivers for the FMD.
101 AliFMD is the base class. AliFMDv0 corresponds to a simulation
102 where no hits are created, but the material distribution is
103 right. AliFMDv1 is like AliFMDv0, except that hits are
105 - AliFMDGeometryBuilder: Build the FMD geometry in terms of TGeo
106 objects. The information for building the geometry is retrieved
108 - AliFMDBaseDigitizer, AliFMDDigitizer, AliFMDSDigitizer: Base
109 class for the digitisers. AliFMDDigitizer makes `real' digits
110 (AliFMDDigit) from hits, and AliFMDSDigitizer makes summable
112 - AliFMDRawWriter: Writes a pseudo raw data file from the digits
113 created by the digitisers. It uses the AliFMDAltroMapping from
114 AliFMDParameters to make the mapping from detector coordinates
115 to hardware addresses.
117 @subsection rec libFMDrec:
119 This currently (18th or March 2006) contains the classes
121 - AliFMDReconstructor: Reconstruct (in a naiive way) the charged
122 particle multiplicity in the FMD strips. This also writes an
123 AliESDFMD object to the ESD files (that class is in libESD).
125 - AliFMDRecPoint: Reconstructed point in the FMD. These objects
126 are made AliFMDReconstructor.
128 - AliFMDRawReader: Classes to read raw data files.
130 @subsection util libFMDutil:
132 This currently (18th or March 2006) contains the classes
134 - AliFMDInput, AliFMDInputHits, AliFMDInputDigits,
135 AliFMDInputSDigits, AliFMDInputRecPoints: Base class, and
136 concrete classes to read in FMD generated data. These provide a
137 simple and unified way of getting the data. Hooks are defined
138 to process hits, tracks, digits, and reconstructed points, as
139 well as geometry and ESD data. See for example the scripts
140 @c DrawHits.C, @c DrawHitsDigits.C, @c DrawHitsRecs.C, @c
141 DrawDigitsRecs.C in the @c FMD/scripts sub-directory.
143 - AliFMDDisplay: Simple event display for FMD data, including
144 hits, digits, reconstructed points and ESD data.
146 - AliFMDCalibFaker, AliFMDAlignFaker: Classes to write fake (or
147 dummy) calibration and alignment data. These derive from
150 @section script Scripts
152 Most scripts live in @c FMD/scripts. The notiable exceptions are
153 @ref Simulate.C, @ref Reconstruct.C, and @ref Config.C
155 @section quick Quick start
157 First, install ROOT. Then Install TGeant3:
162 > cvs -d :pserver:cvs@root.cern.ch:/user/cvs login
164 > cvs -d :pserver:cvs@root.cern.ch:/user/cvs co geant3
169 Now you can install AliRoot
172 > cvs -d :pserver:cvs@alisoft.cern.ch:/soft/cvsroot login
174 > cvs -d :pserver:cvs@alisoft.cern.ch:/soft/cvsroot co AliRoot
176 > export ALICE_TARGET=`root-config --arch`
177 > export ALICE=${HOME}/alice
178 > export ALICE_ROOT=${ALICE}/AliRoot
179 > export ALICE_LEVEL=new
180 > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ALICE_ROOT}/lib/tgt_${ALICE_TERGET}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
181 > export PATH=${ALICE_ROOT}/bin/tgt_${ALICE_TERGET}:${PATH}
182 > export G3SYS=${ALICE}/geant3
186 To simulate one event, do something like
189 > aliroot ${ALICE_ROOT}/FMD/Simulate.C
192 To reconstruct the generated event, do
194 > aliroot ${ALICE_ROOT}/FMD/Reconstruct.C
197 Now, open the file `AliESDs.root' in AliRoot, and browse through that.

225 @brief Forward Multiplicity Detector based on Silicon wafers.
226 This class is the driver for especially simulation.
228 The Forward Multiplicity Detector consists of 3 sub-detectors FMD1,
229 FMD2, and FMD3, each of which has 1 or 2 rings of silicon sensors.
231 This is the base class for all FMD manager classes.
233 The actual code is done by various separate classes. Below is
234 diagram showing the relationship between the various FMD classes
