2 How to run MUONRecoCheck macro
3 ============================================================
5 To check the muon reconstruction by comparing the reconstructed tracks
6 with the reference tracks made of "AliTrackReference" for the hits in chamber (0..9)
7 and kinematic informations (TreeK) for the vertex.
8 This macro can be used to check the track reconstruction e.g. efficiency,
9 momentum resolution ... but also to make physics analysis whenever
10 track identification is needed.
12 To compile MUONRecoCheck.C
13 .includepath $ALICE_ROOT/STEER
14 .includepath $ALICE_ROOT/MUON
15 .L $ALICE_ROOT/MUON/MUONRecoCheck.C+
17 // To run MUONRecoCheck
18 MUONRecoCheck(nEvent,"geometry.root", "galice.root"); // nEvent = nb of events

25 For MC studies the classes "AliMUONTrackLight" and "AliMUONPairLight" can be
26 used in order to fill not only the single muon / dimuon's kinematics (charge,
27 pT, rapidity, etc) at the generation AND reconstruction level, but also for
28 "decoding" the Pythia output and for the storing of the single muon's history.
29 This allows to tag if two muons of a given event come from a certain, well-defined
30 process, such as J/psi, Upsilons, correlated open charm or open beauty or the
31 low masses or if they are of uncorrelated origin. For open beauty/charm it also
32 tags the creation process (pair creation, flavour excitation or gluon splitting).
33 The classes also allow to tag feed-down or neutral B meson oscillation and
34 has a method that checks whether the reconstructed track is a muon or not.
36 The macros ReadRecoCocktail.C, DecodeRecoCocktail.C and MergeMuonLight.C
37 are examples how to use these two classes. DecodeRecoCocktail.C opens the
38 generated files, loops over the events and fills an AliMUONTrackLight object
39 for every reconstructed track for which the reference to its generated particle
40 could be established, using the AliMUONRecoCheck class.
41 It then takes the AliMUONTrackLight objects and forms - event by event -
42 AliMUONPairLight objects, on a combinatorial basis. For a given event these
43 objects are stored in respective TClonesArrays which are then stored in a tree.
44 By default, the produced output file is called "MuonLight.root".
45 This root file can then be taken by the macro "ReadRecoCocktail.C" that shows,
46 on the example of the reconstructed mass and pT of the AliMUONPairLight object,
47 how to access the available information. For large statistics, in which many
48 individual MuonLight.root files are produced, MergeMuonLight.C can be used
49 to merge the files and produce one common output root file.
51 To read a generation/reconstrution from PDC06 preproduction, and write a file
52 with a tree of AliMUONTrackLight / AliMUONPairLight :
53 go to the directory containing the generation/reconstruction. From there run
55 .L DecodeRecoCocktail.C+
59 To read the file previously generated:
61 .L ReadRecoCocktail.C+
