Installing Software
The reconstruction and analysis software are built on the same software stack used for the analysis of photon beam measurements with the GlueX detector.
- You can find some general information on GlueX software and computing at this page.
- A general overview of the GlueX software can be found here.
There are a couple of different ways to install the GlueX software stack.
- You can follow these instructions to build the full software stack locally.
- Or you can run the GlueX software in a container.
Note that the GlueX software installation has been verified to work on RedHat/CentOS 7 and various Ubuntu versions - basically anywhere you can install the scons package. Instructions exist on how to install on RedHat/CentOS 8, link to them. The software currently does not build under RedHat/CentOS 9 - you are better off running the software inside a container in this case, for now.
A version of the dedicated KLF event generator can be downloaded and installed from here https://github.com/sdobbs/KLGenerator_hddm_V3 using the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/sdobbs/KLGenerator_hddm_V3 cd KLGenerator_hddm_V3 scons install
Note that KLGenerator_hddm_V3 is installed under $HALLD_MY/bin, so make sure that you have that directory in your PATH.
Generating Events
The KLGenerator_hddm_V3 program has some good online help through the -h switch.
For an example, let's try generating 1M KL p -> Ks p events.
KLGenerator_hddm_V3 -M100 -Fgenerated.root -Ekaon:histo:1.0:4.0 -Rkl2
