The EMCAL Analysis framework

The EMCAL framework consists of three parts:

• The EMCAL core framework
• The EMCAL trigger framework
• The EMCAL framework tasks

Goal of the EMCAL framework is to provide the user with all functionalities to steer the different steps in the preparation chain, handle data, process trigger quantities, and combine common functionalities. Furthermore helper classes for various issues are provided.

How to run it

The analysis chain has to be configured with several framework wagons. They are combined by several Add macros.

The setup task wagon

The setup task wagon combines handles the connection to OCDB, OADB and initializes the geometry, used in further wagons. One can add it to the train by

gSystem->LoadMacro("$ALICE_PHYSICS/PWG/EMCAL/macros/AddTaskEmcalSetup.C");
AddTaskEmcalSetup();

Paths to OCDB and OADB can be handled by the macro paramters.

The EMCAL preparation wagon

Recalibration and clusterization is handled by the EMCAL preparation wagon.

gSystem->LoadMacro("$ALICE_PHYSICS/PWG/EMCAL/macros/AddTaskEmcalPreparation.C");
AddTaskEmcalPreparation();
