PicoDst

Data format for the Flow Analysis at MPD(NICA)

Installation

• Get the source code:

  git clone https://devel.mephi.ru/PEParfenov/PicoDst.git
  

• Create build directory and build project:

  cd PicoDst/
  mkdir build/
  cd build/
  cmake ..
  make
  

  CMakeLists.txt file automatically checks if FairRoot is installed.

  • if FairRoot is installed both libPicoDst.so and PicoDstConverter will be compiled
  • if FairRoot is not installed only libPicoDst.so will be compiled

Usage

PicoDst data format

After installation setPicoDst.sh will be generated. This script contains most of the needed information for the system to find PicoDst library. For comfortable usage of the PicoDst package (to automatically load libPicoDst.so in every ROOT session, export usefull environment variables and aliases in the system), source setPicoDst.sh:

source setPicoDst.sh

It also contains usefull aliases for all executables.

Basic information about PicoDst package: PicoDst-config

Like root-config command, PicoDst-config contains information about version and paths to the source code and build directories. After sourcing setPicoDst.sh one can just use the following command in bash:

PicoDst-config --version --incdir --srcdir --bindir

Convert MpdDst data to PicoDst:

If FairRoot (and MpdRoot) is installed PicoDstConverter is compiled. After sourcing setPicoDst.sh one can use command:

PicoDstConverter -i input_mpddst.root -o output_picodst.root
