This section lists the main differences between the old and the new framework. While the old framework produced a new cluster container for each correction that was applied to the clusters, the new framework works with only one cluster container. In contrast to the old framework in the new framework specific energy fields of the cluster container are set to keep track of modifications to the cluster energy.
The following things need to be changed in order to work with the new EMCal framework:
Generally, it is recommended to read the documentation on containers, available here.
The main changes in the run macro account for the input and output cluster names which are used in the different tasks.
Each task needs the specific name of the container that contains the applied energy corrections, as described in the table below
| After the Task | Function to get the correct energy (new framework) | Output ClusterName (old framework) |
|---|---|---|
| AddTaskClusterizerFast | E(), raw energy | CaloClusters |
| AddTaskEmcalClusterMaker | GetNonLinCorrEnergy() | EmcCaloClusters |
| AddTaskHadCorr | GetHadCorrEnergy() | CaloClustersCorr |
Use containers to manage access to cells, clusters, and tracks. For more information on the containers, see the containers page. Generally, use the "usedefault" pattern (described on the containers page) to manage the names of the various objects. Note that for shared tasks which have been updated to the new framework, the run macro should use "usedefault" as input name for tasks and leave output name (if present) empty "".
In addition to generally using containers, the track container needs to be properly intialized. To properly intialiaze the track container, the macro must set:
This function only has to be called once. All track containers (created via AliParticleContainer) created after this will have the correct settings to properly filter tracks in that particular dataset.
For an example of an updated run macro, see runEMCalJetSampleTask.C.
In addition, Don't forget to change the cluster names in your wagons in the train as well!
Since the new framework corrects clusters in place (adding the correction into a new field in the cluster), you will not need to keep track of changing cluster names. Instead, there is a name for each object (clusters, tracks) that will be consistent through a run macro. Consequently, the best way to set the names is by using the "usedefault" pattern as described in the containers page.
Your AddTask macro should also set the default energy you want to use in the container (it could also be set in the run macro). This needs to be specified, otherwise the raw energy is used by default in the ClusterContainer. A possible configuration example is below
Possible default energy options are available here.
After making changes to the Add Task, remember to make the appropriate changes to your train wagons!
As there are now multiple possibilities for the cluster energy in one cluster object and in the container, you explicitly need to specify which energy you want to use in your analysis. Specifically,
No matter what default energy you have set for your cluster container!**
For the various approaches to getting the desired cluster energy, see here.
For information on accessing the containers in your analysis task (including best practices), see container access techniques.
Now you carefully have to reevaluate which energy you use in your tasks. This might not be the one you think it is. Old functions to retrieve the energy might not give you back what you expect. See information above.
Some other notes:
GetAccCluster() function (which calls AliClusterContainer::ApplyClusterCuts()) will loop over all possible energy cuts, no matter which default you have specified in your task. So if you want to cut only on, for example, the hadcorr energy, make sure the other ones are set to zero.AliAnalysisTaskEmcal::AddTrackContainer() and AliAnalysisTaskEmcal::AddParticleContainer() will both increase the same index.Mini tutorials and slides:
