-
- To execute the Alice simulation program, type aliroot.
- This starts gAlice in interactive mode by default.
- After a few seconds, you get the Root prompt.
-
- You can start your interactive session by invoking
- the standard menu
- Root > .x menu.C
- or do directly
- Root > gAlice->Run()
- or Root > gAlice->RunLego()
-
- if you want to divert the long output generated by
- the gAlice initialisation phase to a file (eg gAlice.log)
- Root > .x menu.C > gAlice.log
- or Root > gAlice->Run(); > gAlice.log
-
- The initialisation phase of gAlice takes time (30 seconds).
- By default the macro menu.C invokes AliRun::Init with
- the configuration file "Config.C".
- When the initialisation is finished, you get the promt again.
- You also get a Root control bar menu.
- Select:
- - Run to generate a complete event with the number of tracks
- and the configuration specified in "Config.C"
-
- - RunLego to generate the standard lego plots for radiation
- and absorption length. By default, the granularity
- is 60 rays in theta and 60 rays in phi.
- When this command is finished, you can view the results
- with Root > .x lego.C
- If you do not want to run with the default parameters,do
- Root > gAlice->RunLego( list of params), see AliRun::RunLego
-
- - Top/Front/Side view to generate the corresponding cut view of Alice.
- Note that a cut view takes a long time to execute (30 seconds).
-
- - Menu Trees This shows a new menu from which you can draw
- the geometry tree for most Alice detectors.
- Double-clicking on an Alice detector generates the SPECs.
-
- - Menu Pictures This shows a new menu from which you can draw
- the major Alice detectors in SHADe mode.
-
- - Other items allow you to switch ON/OFF various drawing modes.
-
- See the classes AliRun and TGeant3 for more detailed functionality.
- A global variable "gAlice" can be used to invoke the AliRun class functions.
- A global variable "geant" can be used to invoke the TGeant3 class functions.
-
- Note that several TGeant3 functions are alaso available by clicking
- with the right mouse button on a canvas.
-
- When you want to leave gAlice type the command ".q"
- Root > .q

-<BR><BR><HR>
-<A NAME="2">
-<H2>2. Release Policy</H2>
-
-<P>It is the responsibility of the different detector groups to maintain
-and develop the different modules describing the Alice detectors. The
-modular structure of the code has been developed to reflect this fact, and
-changes in one module should not affect the others.
-
-<P>New modules can be provided, incorporated and tested within the AliRoot
-framework. These should then be submitted and incorporated into the
-centrally maintained filebase.
-
-<P>Any query or proposal for a change in the code can be addressed to the
-<A HREF="mailto:alice-sim@alice-lb.cern.ch">Alice Simulation Mailing
-List</A>. Portions of code have to be sent to the <A
-HREF="mailto:Frederico.Carminati@cern.ch">current maintainer</A> who has
-the task to introduce them in the official code for the next release.
-
-<P>For the moment we do not use any version control for the code. It is
-expected that a version control mechanism will be soon put in place in the
-framework of the Alice Offline Software. Then AliRoot package will be
-maintained via this control mechanism.
-
-<P> We expect the code to evolve rapidly, as the TDR studies will require
-frequent modifications and updates, so we have decided to reserve the right
-to release a new version up to once a week.
-
-<P>The AliRoot framework will support an <A HREF="
-http://home.cern.ch/~ivana/AliceG4/AG4Presentations/AliceWeekMar99/index.html">
-interface</A> to Geant4. Reconstruction and analysis of simulated events
-are also supported by AliRoot.
-
-<!======================================================================>
-<BR><BR><HR>
-<A NAME="3">
-<H2>3. Status and availability</H2>
-
-<P>The code is installed at CERN on the
-<a href="http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/dis/ues/services/ion/service.html">ION
-Work Group Server</a>. The ALICE environment is automatically setup at login
-time, so users can immediately start using the code. Both a HP-UX and a Linux
-versions are installed.
-
-<p>All the code and the related material is available in the directory
-pointed by the variable $ALICE_ROOT. The AliRoot package needs the few
-packages and routines from the CERN Library. These are contained in a
-reduced subset of the CERN Library available from the ALICE distribution.
-
-<p>Users who do not have access to afs or who want to have a local installation
-of the ALICE software should install the code locally according to the
-procedure described in the next chapter.
-
-<p>As of writing the code has been tested on HP-UX 10.2, Linux 5.1, DEC OSF
-and Solaris. Porting to other platforms and compilers will take place.
-
-
-
-<!======================================================================>
-<BR><BR><HR>
-<A NAME="4"><H2>4. Installation Procedure </H2>
-
-<p>In order to install the code, the following steps should be performed:
-
-<br><ol>
-
-<p><li>Install <a href="http://root.cern.ch">ROOT</a> and define the necessary
-symbols correctly.
-
-<p><li>Decide in which directory you will install the ALICE sofware. We will
-indicate it with <i>directory</i>
-
-<p><li>Define the following global variables in the login script
-
-<p><table align=centre border=yes>
-<tr><th>variable</th><th>value</th></tr>
-<tr><td width=30%>ALICE </td><td> <i>directory</i>
-<tr><td>ALICE_LEVEL </td><td> pro </td></tr>

-<h3>Notice for Linux users</h3>
-
-<p>AliRoot requires the compiler system egcs 1.1.1 or later. Unfortunately
-the location of the include files is dependent on the compiler version on
-Linux. While g++ knows the location of the files relative to its own
-version, but this is not the case for the makedepend, that should be told
-where include files are. This is accomplished by the DEPINC variable in the
-file $ALIROOT/conf.
-
-<p>In case several error message appear during the make phase, complaining
-for include files not found, the list of include directories in DEPINC
-should be compared with the standard list of the compiler, that can be
-found out with the following commands:
-
-<p><pre>
-touch dummy.cxx
-g++ -v dummy.cxx
-</pre>
-
-<p>and looking at the output between the lines:
-
-<p><pre>
-#include <...> search starts here:
-.
-.
-.
-.
-End of search list.
-</pre>

-<H1>Overview of AliRoot </H1>
-
-<P>This page summarizes the status of <B>Version 3.01</B> that has been
-released on Wed Jun 16 10:00 1999. More details can be found in the
-<A HREF="AliRootHelp.html">User Guide</A>.
-
-<P>The Geant3.21 based simulation program <B>galice</B> for the ALICE
-detector underwent major changes in programming language, number of lines
-of code, and supported platforms since its first release (Version 1) used
-for the TP.
-
-<P> Version 2 of the simulation program galice amounted to about 40 kLOC of
-Fortran code and 10 kLOC of C++.
-
-<p>Version 3 of the program was completely rewritten in c++ and it now 70 kLOC of C++ and 2 kLOC of FORTRAN.
-
-<P> Since then, the simulation program itself and the framework supporting
-it underwent changes reported during several meetings, to come to the
-present structure that it is believed to be a sound base for its <a href=
-"http://www.cern.ch/alice/Projects/offline/fcaPresentations/plenary/sld001.htm">future
-evolution</a>.

-
-<P> Except for GEANT3.21 and some remaining legacy code which is packaged
-as shared libraries, this framework is based on the Object Oriented
-programming paradigm, and it is written in C++.
-

+<h2>Status and Availability</h2>
+
+<p> The code is installed at CERN on the
+<a href="http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/dis/ues/services/ion/service.html">ION
+Work Group Server</a>. The ALICE environment is automatically setup at login
+time, so users can immediately start using the code. Both a HP-UX and a Linux
+versions are installed.
+
+<p> All the code and the related material is available in the directory
+pointed by the variable $ALICE_ROOT. The AliRoot package needs the few
+packages and routines from the CERN Library. These are contained in a
+reduced subset of the CERN Library available from the ALICE distribution.
+
+<p> Users who do not have access to afs or who want to have a local
+installation of the ALICE software should install the code locally
+according to the procedure described in the next chapter.
+
+<p> As of writing the code has been tested on HP-UX 10.2, RedHat Linux 5
+and 6, DEC OSF and Solaris. Porting to other platforms and compilers will
+take place.
+
+<p> All the material found in this site is available subject to the following

+
+<h2>History</h2>
+
+<p> This page summarizes the status of <b>Version 3.02</b> that has been
+released on Wed Jun 16 10:00 1999.
+
+<p> The Geant3.21 based simulation program <B>galice</B> had been
+originally developed under the coordination of N.Van Eijndhoven for the
+Technical Proposal of the ALICE experiment at LHC. This code was based on the
+CERNLIB FORTRAN environment, using PAW N-tuple for the storage of the hits.
+
+<p> In 1998 the activities leading to the Technical Design Reports (TRDs)
+for the various sub-detectors of ALICE started. Simulation was an essential
+tool for the detailed design of the detectors. After a requirement
+collection phase within the collaboration, it became clear that a
+substantial upgrade of the <b>galice</b> package used for the Technical
+Proposal was necessary. In line with the policy of the collaboration and
+the recommendations of both the IT Division and the LHCC Computing Board
+(LCB), it was decided to develop a new environment based on Object Oriented
+techniques and implemented in C++.
+
+<p> Version 2 of <b>galice</b> was quickly prototyped, still using the
+Geant3.21 simulation program, but completely wrapped into a C++ class. The
+results of the simulation were objects stored in a Persistent Object
+Manager. At the time the code amounted to about 40 kLOC of Fortran code and
+10 kLOC of C++. This rapid prototyping activity was possible thanks to the
+availability of the ROOT framework and to the active support of the ROOT
+team.
+
+<p> The results of this activity lead to a usable tool for simulation. At
+the same time both the advantages of the OO programming style and the
+soundness of the ROOT framework became clear. This lead to the official
+adoption of ROOT by the ALICE Off-line Project in November 1998. This also
+lead to the development of a completely C++ version of the simulation
+programme and to the development of the digitisation and reconstruction
+framework based on ROOT. Version 3 of the code, now renamed AliRoot
+was completely rewritten in C++ and it was composed by 70 kLOC of C++ and 2
+kLOC of FORTRAN.
+
+<p> At the moment of writing the code contains 150kLOC of C++, out of
+which 60kLOC automatically generated by the ROOT preprocessor.
+
+<p> The history of AliRoot V3.01 can be found <a
+href="historyV3_01.html">here</a>.

+<h2>How to Run AliRoot</h2>
+
+<h3>For the impatient user</h3>
+
+<p> <a href="picts/menubar.gif">
+<img src="picts/menubar.gif" alt="AliRoot menu bar"
+height=50% align=right></a>
+
+<p> To start up AliRoot after installation just type
+
+<p> <KBD> $ aliroot </KBD>
+
+<p> this starts AliRoot in interactive mode. When the <b>root [0]</b>
+prompt appears, you can start an AliRoot interactive session by creating
+the standard menu
+
+<p> <KBD> root[0] .x menu.C </KBD>
+
+<p> The macro <A HREf="roothtml/examples/menu.C.html">menu.C</A> invokes
+the <A HREF="roothtml/AliRun.html">AliRun</A>::Init() method. In turn this
+calls the configuration file <A
+HREF="roothtml/examples/Config.C.html">Config.C</A> where the configuration
+of the detector and several simulation parameters can be specified.
+
+<p> When the initialisation is finished the <b>root</b> prompt apears
+again and the Root control bar appears.
+
+<p> <a href="picts/display.gif">
+<img src="picts/display.gif" alt="AliRoot Event Display"
+height=30% align=right></a>
+
+<p> You can now select several actions from the menu.
+
+<p> <b>Run</b>
+
+<p> generates to generate an event with the number of tracks and the
+configuration as specified in <A
+HREF="roothtml/examples/Config.C.html">Config.C</A>. The hits deposited
+
+<p> <b> RunLego </b>
+
+<p> <a href="picts/legoex.gif">
+<img src="picts/legoex.gif" alt="Example of Lego Plot"
+height=30% align=right></a>
+
+<p> generates the standard lego plots for radiation and absorption
+length. By default the granularity is 60 rays in theta and 60 rays in phi.
+
+<p> To view the results when this command is finished type:
+
+<p> <KBD> root[0] .x <A HREF="roothtml/examples/lego.C.html">lego.C</A> </KBD>
+
+<p> to change the parameters of the lego run you could specify them
+in the calling sequence of the RunLego method
+ones type:
+
+<p> <KBD> root[3] gAlice->RunLego (your list of parameters) </KBD>
+
+<p> <a href="picts/treex.gif">
+<img src="picts/treex.gif" alt="Example of Tree"
+height=30% align=right></a>
+
+<p> see <A HREF="roothtml/AliRun.html">AliRun</a>::RunLego for details
+
+<p> <b>Menu Trees</b>
+
+<p> This shows a new menu from which you can draw the geometry tree for the
+Alice detectors. Clicking with the right button on the pad with the name of
+a geometrical element give access to a number of graphic and inspect
+functions. Double-clicking on the pad generates a drawing of the specifications
+of the geometry of the element.

+
+<p> <b>Menu Pictures</b>
+
+<p> From this menu you can draw pretty pictures of the major ALICE components.
+Note that some pictures may take a long time to be produced.
+
+<p> To quit AliRoot
+
+<p> <KBD>root [ ] .q</KBD>
+
+<h3>A more detailed view</h3>
+
+<p> After startup of the <b>aliroot</b> program the simulation
+infrastructure is initialised by the <a
+href="roothtml/AliRun.html">AliRun</a>::Init() method. This method takes
+an argument that is the name of the initialisation script. The default
+name for this script is <a
+href="roothtml/examples/Config.C.html">Config.C</a>. This script
+initialises the version of the different detectors and of the generator to
+be used. In particular some generators can generated a fixed number of
+particles and in this case this number is an argument of the generator
+constructor.
+
+<p> A global variable <var>gAlice</var> holds the pointer to the instance
+of the <a href="roothtml/AliRun.html">AliRun</a> class.
+
+<p> <KBD>root [ ] gAlice->Init()</KBD>
+
+<p> The <em>Init</em> method loads the chosen MonteCarlo (for the moment
+only Geant3 is available in production) and initialises it. Another global
+variable <var>gMC</var> holds the pointer to the instance of the virtual
+MonteCarlo Class <a href="roothtml/AliMC.html">AliMC</a>. This allows to
+access all the functions of the Virtual Monte Carlo interface. Some of the
+functions are specific to Geant3, and these can be accessed recasting this
+pointer to a specific Geant3 pointer via the statement
+
+<p> <KBD>root [ ] TGeant3 g3 = (TGeant3*) gMC</KBD>
+
+<p> <a href="picts/itsex.gif">
+<img src="picts/itsex.gif" alt="Example of Picture"
+height=30% align=right></a>
+
+<p> In particular all the drawing functions of Geant3 are available via
+this interface. To draw a cut view of the ITS following commands
+could be used
+
+<p>
+<KBD>
+root [1] TGeant3 *g3 = (TGeant3*)gMC
+<br>root [2] g3->Gsatt("*","seen",1)
+<br>root [3] g3->Gdrawc("ITSV",1,.1,10,10,.125,.125)
+</KBD>
+
+<p> Note that several TGeant3 functions are also available by clicking with
+the right button on a canvas while in the AliRoot session.
+
+<p> The <a href="roothtml/AliRun.html">AliRun</a>::Run() method starts a run
+composed by a single event. This method takes as argument the number of events
+to be processed. If this number is negative, the run is not terminated and
+more events can be run. If this number is positive, after the indicated number
+of events the run is terminated. No more events can be run.
+
+<h3>Batch processing</h3>
+
+<p> In AliRoot there is really no difference between batch and interactive
+processing. An <a href="roothtml/examples/grun.C.html">elementary macro</a>
+to run AliRoot in batch mode is provided amongst the examples, and it can
+be used in the following way to run a 10 events run
+
+<p> <KBD> aliroot -b grun.C\(10\)</KBD>
+
+<p> Note that the backslashes are necessary to prevent the shell from
+interpreting the brackets.

+
+<ol>
+<p><li> Install <a href="http://root.cern.ch">ROOT</a> and define the
+necessary variables correctly.
+
+<p><li> Decide where the code will reside (from here on <i>directory</i>).
+
+<p><li>Define the following global variables in the login script
+
+<p><table align=centre borders=no>
+<tr><th align=left>variable</th><th align=left>value</th></tr>
+<tr><td width=30%>ALICE </td><td> <i>directory</i>

+</table>
+
+<p>At this point you should logout, login again and check that the symbols
+are set correctly.
+
+<p><li> Retrieve the AliRoot code. There are two ways to do this:
+
+<ul>
+<p><li> <em>From a tar file</em>. This is the preferred way for those who
+do not have an internet connection to the <em>cvs</em> server from the
+machine where the code has to be installed. The <a
+href="ftp://pcepaip01.cern.ch/pub">files</a> containing the latest release
+should be brought on the target machine. Three files are offered:
+
+<p><table align=center borders=no>
+<tr><th align=left>File<th align=left>Content</tr>
+<tr><td align=center colspan=2><em>Either</em></tr>
+<tr><td>AliOffline<i>MM.mm-pp</i>.tar.gz
+<td>Code and the data files of ALICE Off-line</tr>
+<tr><td align=center colspan=2><em>Or</em></tr>
+<tr><td>AliLibs<i>MM.mm-pp</i>.tar.gz
+<td>Code and the data files of the auxiliary libraries</tr>
+<tr><td>AliRoot<i>MM.mm-pp</i>.tar.gz
+<td>All the code and the data files of the AliRoot system</tr>
+</table>
+
+<p> <i>MM.mm-pp</i> is the number of the latest <i>M</i>ajor and
+<i>m</i>inor version and the <i>p</i>atch number. Please refer to the
+README file found in this directory for further information on file
+content. The file(s) have to be unpacked into the $ALICE directory via the
+command:
+
+<p><pre>$ gtar xvfz Ali[...].tar.gz</pre>
+
+
+<p><li> <em>From cvs remote cvs server</em>. This method has the advantage
+that new patches can be incrementally retrieved and installed via internet.
+At the moment the problem is that the version of cvs currently installed at
+CERN (1.09) does not support well binary files. Therefore some data files
+will be missing with this download mechanism, and these will have to be
+fetched <em>by hand</em>. The setup of the access to the remote cvs server
+is described in the <a href="management.html">Code Management</a> section. The
+code is dowloaded via the command:
+
+<p><pre>
+$ cd $ALICE
+$ cvsa co -d pro AliRoot
+</pre>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p><li>install the CERN library part
+
+<p><pre>
+$ cd $ALICE_ROOT
+$ gmake cernlibs
+</pre>
+
+<p><li>Install the ALICE specific software
+
+<p><pre>
+$ cd $ALICE_ROOT
+$ gmake
+</pre>
+
+<p><li>Copy the file $ALICE_ROOT/.rootrc to your home directory
+
+<p><li>Change to your home directory and run the code
+
+<p>
+<pre>
+$ cd
+$ aliroot
+
+<output from aliroot>
+
+root [1] .x menu.C

+framework and all applications are built.
+
+<p> Except for large existing libraries, such as GEANT3.21 and Jetset, and

+<h2>Code Management</h2>
+
+<p> The code is maintained under <a
+href="http://www.cyclic.com/"><b>cvs</b></a>. <b>cvs</b> allows parallel
+concurrent development by different authors, but for the moment only the
+versioning capabilities of <b>cvs</b> are used. The code is maintained by
+<b>cvs</b> into a <em>repository</em>.
+
+<p> A <em>remote cvs server</em> has been installed, that allows read-only
+access to the AliRoot code for download. To gain access to it, it is
+necessary to have an internet connection to CERN. It is practical to define
+an alias:
+
+<p><b><center>
+cvsa = cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pcepaip01.cern.ch:/soft/cvsroot
+</center></b>
+
+<p> To activate the access to the remote repository the command <b>cvsa
+login</b> should be issued the first time. The user is then prompted to
+enter the password that is <em>cvs</b>. This password is stored once and
+forall in a file in his/her home directory, so there is no need to repeat
+the login procedure.
+
+<p> All <em>read</em> commands of <b>cvs</b> are available to download
+code, compare local versions with the official ones and so on. The reader
+is referred to the <b>cvs</b> manual for more information. <em>Write</em>
+commands are forbidden, and an error message is issued.
+
+<p> At the moment the control of the <b>cvs</b> repository is in the hands
+of one person, but with time a more flexible policy will be put in place,
+where project coordinators will be allowed to modify the pre-release
+version of the code independently.
+
+<p> The development of the code and the release procedure is explained by
+this schema:
+
+<br><center><img src="picts/cvs_release.gif" height=75%
+ alt="The ALICE release procedure"></center>
+
+<p> When a release is tagged (Release-3-01), the a <em>cvs branch</em> is
+created (Release-3-01-Patch-00) and this is the code distributed and
+installed at CERN. Patches to the released code are tagged on this branch,
+while pre-releases are tagged on the main branch.
+
+<p> When the release code is ready, it is tagged, and the Patch-00 branch
+is created. The previous release code and libraries are moved in the old
+directory tree on the machines where the AliRoot is installed, the Patch-00
+of the new release is moved onto the pro directory tree and the cycle begins
+again.
+
+<p> As said before we are studying how to allow single Detector Groups to
+tag their own module, while maintaining a single tag for the release.

+<h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+<P>Welcome to the home page of the ALICE Off-line Project. This page and
+the following contain the description of the feature and
+
+<B>AliRoot</B> is the ALICE Off-line framework for simulation,
+reconstruction and analysis.
+
+<P> Except for GEANT3.21 and some remaining legacy code which is packaged
+as shared libraries, this framework is based on the Object Oriented
+programming paradigm, and it is written in C++.
+
+<P> It uses the <A HREF="http://root.cern.ch">ROOT</A> system as a
+foundation on which the framework and all applications are built.

+
+<h2>Release Policy</h2>
+
+<p> It is the responsibility of the different detector groups to maintain
+and develop the different modules describing the ALICE detectors. The
+modular structure of the code has been developed to reflect this fact, and
+changes in one module should not affect the others.
+
+<P>New modules can be provided, incorporated and tested within the AliRoot
+framework. These should then be submitted and incorporated into the
+centrally maintained filebase.
+
+<P>Any query or proposal for a change in the code can be addressed to the
+<A HREF="mailto:alice-off@alice-lb.cern.ch">Alice Off-line Mailing
+List</A>.
+
+<p> We expect the code to evolve rapidly, as the TDR studies will require
+frequent modifications and updates, so we have decided to reserve the right
+to release a new version up to once a week.
+
+<p> The AliRoot framework will support an <A HREF="
+http://home.cern.ch/~ivana/AliceG4/AG4Presentations/AliceWeekMar99/index.html">
+interface</A> to Geant4. Reconstruction and analysis of simulated events
+are also supported by AliRoot.
