Tower and SMD info

Under:




This is a plot of the tower status as a function of relative day (since the start of the second longitudinal period.)  The 4800 towers are on the Y-Axis and Days are on the X axis.  A dot means that that tower had a status other than good during that time period.

Hijing

Under:

To use Hijing for simulation purposes, one must first run Hijing proper and generate event files, then feed these data to starsim to complete the GEANT part.

Pythia

Introduction

There are two ways, which are slightly different, to run the Pythia event generator in the context of the Starsim application. In the original (old) design, the dynamic library apythia.so served both as an adapter and a container for the standard Pythia library that would typically come with a CERNLIB distribution. The problem with this approach is of course that Pythia in itself is not a static piece of software and receives periodic updates. It is difficult or impossible, therefore, to modify the apythia.so component without affecting, in one way or another, various analyses as the consistency of the code is broken at some point.

It possible, however, to refactor the Pythia adaptor in such a way that the Pythia library proper can be loaded separately. This gives the user the ability to choose a specific version of the Pythia code to be run in their simulation. Different users, therefore, can use different versions of Pythia concurrently in Starsim, which is in everybody's interest. The thus modified wrapper was given the mneumonic name bpythia.so (it should be easy to memorize since "b"-pythia follows "a"-pythia). We have also decided the freeze the Pythia version linked into apythia.so at 6.205, and select subsequent versions bpythia.so as explained on the bottom of this page.
