Please add to this README file all information concerning
config files, simulation, digitalization, clusterization,
reconstruction and macro analysis
==========================================================
- How to run a MUON simulation
+ How to check that your aliroot is working well
+==========================================================
+There is a script file AlirootRun_MUONtest.script which
+allows for simulating, reconstructing and making the
+invariant analysis of the generated Upsilon (1S).
+The used configuration file is Config.C in MUON
+directory.
+There you have to type :
+
+source $ALICE_ROOT/MUON/AlirootRun_MUONtest.script
+
+If you do not recover a few Upsilons in their mass region
+in the file MUONmassPlot.root
+

aliroot
-root [0] gAlice->Run(10,"$ALICE_ROOT/MUON/Config_MUON_test.C");
+root [0] gAlice->Run(10,"$ALICE_ROOT/MUON/Config.C");
1 single muon of 7 GeV/c in the MUON spectrometer
acceptance will be simulated using geant3.
Hit information will be store in the root file in the
execution directory.
-
If you want to change the option or to define a new directory
for hits, you have to do the following before:
root [0] gAlice->SetConfigFunction("Config( \"/home/martinez/aliroot/work_NewIO/test/\" , \"box\" );");

+============================================================
+ Tracking parameters, cuts, energy loss and physics processes
+============================================================
+Tracking parameters in MUON are automatically defined by GEANT
+MUON takes the default values of CUTs and physics processes
+defined by the Config files, except for the gas mixture medium
+of the tracking chambers. The CUT's and physics processes of
+the gas mixture medium is then defined in the galice.cuts file
+in the data directory. In particular ILOSS parameter MUST be
+equal unity (1) in order simulate a realistic energy loss
+distribution (mean value and fluctuations) in the active gas.
============================================================
- How to run MUON Tracking reconstruction
+ Tracking of particle in the magnetic field
+============================================================
+GEANT has two ways for tracking charged particles in the
+magnetic field: HELIX et RKUTA.
+HELIX is faster and works well if the gradient of magnetic
+field is small.
+For MUON, HELIX is a not a good approximation and we must
+use RKUTA to get the optimal mass resolution of the
+spectrometer. The choice of HELIX or RKUTA is done in the
+config file when the magnetic field is defined:
+ AliMagFMaps* field = new AliMagFMaps("Maps","Maps", TRACKING, FACTOR, MAXB, AliMagFMaps::k4kG);
+ gAlice->SetField(field);
+TRACKING must be 1 for RKUTA and 2 for HELIX (the default value for aliroot is 2 (HELIX))
+FACTOR allows you to set the magnetic field to 0, just putting FACTOR=0. Default value is 1.
+MAXB is the maximum magnetic field which is 10.T
+
+===========================================================
+ MUON cocktail for physics ..............
+===========================================================
+There is a MUON cocktail generator of the muon sources in the
+EVGEN directory. This class derives from AliGenCocktail.
+In the init of this class I have filled the cocktail with
+the muon sources: J/Psi, Upsilon, Open Charm, Open Beauty,
+Pion, Kaons. The code needs only the production cross section
+at 4pi (for the moment this values are in the code since I
+prefere them do not be modified), and the code calculates the
+rate of particles in the acceptance, making the scaling based
+on the number of collisions for the hard probes and on the
+number of participants for soft sources: Pions and Kaons.
+
+In the Genereate of this class all entries in the cocktail
+are called and we define a "primordial trigger" with requires
+a minimum number of muons above a Pt cut in the required acceptance.
+In order to normalized to the real number of simulated events,
+there are 2 data members in the class fNsuceeded adn fNGenerate
+which tell us what is the biais source.
+
+Enclose an example to use this generator:
+AliGenMUONCocktail * gener = new AliGenMUONCocktail();
+gener->SetPtRange(1.,100.); // Transverse momentum range
+gener->SetPhiRange(0.,360.); // Azimuthal angle range
+gener->SetYRange(-4.0,-2.4);
+gener->SetMuonPtCut(1.);
+gener->SetMuonThetaCut(171.,178.);
+gener->SetMuonMultiplicity(2);
+gener->SetImpactParameterRange(0.,5.); // 10% most centra PbPb collisions
+gener->SetVertexSmear(kPerTrack);
+gener->SetOrigin(0,0,0); // Vertex position
+gener->SetSigma(0,0,0.0); // Sigma in (X,Y,Z) (cm) on IP position
+gener->Init();

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

+===========================================================
+ Macro MUONGenerateGeometryData.C
+===========================================================
+
+Macro for generating the geometry data files:
+(transform_*.dat, svmap_*.dat).
+- MUON/data/transform_*dat files contain all the information
+about the transformation (traslation + rotation) needed for
+the positionning of each detection element of the MUON
+spectrometer.
+- MUON/data/svmap_*.dat files contain all the information to link
+each geant volume (it can be extended to other virtual MC) with
+a detection element. The point here is that a given detection
+element, i.e. a slat chamber consists of many geant volumes.
+the correspondence is then defined in an input file.
+Eanch time there is a change in the virtual MC geometry, these
+input files must be re-generated via the macro
+MUONGenerateGeometryData.C
+
+To be run from aliroot:
+.x MUONGenerateGeometryData.C
+
+The generated files do not replace the existing ones
+but have different names (with extension ".out").
+To compare/replace the existing files with generated ones
+run the scripts in MUON/data:
+compare_data [transform] [svmaps ]
+reset_data [transform] [svmaps]
