  5. The TDAQ system • Trigger: • (almost) real-time filteringofcollisionevents • Eventsreadevery~25ns: • how long doesthetriggertaketo decide? • DAQ: • Sendsevent data throughthetriggerandreadoutsystems • Mergestriggerand detector conditions data withevent data

  6. ATLAS triggersystem local (event fragments) ATLAS full events ~1700 nodes (8/12 core, 16/24 GB) dedicated L3 ~10 Gb links flexible L2/L3 processors 10 Gb links

  7. Example: electron trigger

  8. managing the data volume Data Production

  9. Global data processing and storage • LHC data output estimate: 15 PB/year (and we prefer multiple copies) • Stored and processed on WLCG: shared by all CERN experiments • Your “local” Tier-1: BNL • Your local Tier-3: in your backpack! • Every stored physics event is modeled by many simulated events • thus most resources are spent in Monte Carlo simulation note: ATLAS computingsystemsalonemusthandle MILLIONS ofproduction/analysisjobsdaily

  13. What is Monte Carlo, really? Monte Carlo calculation of π • HEP predictions require a lot of convolution integrals • one reason: QM! pick random x, random y if y2 < 1-x2: increment area

  14. What is Monte Carlo? Monte Carlo calculation of π • HEP predictions require a lot of convolution integrals • one reason: QM! • The Monte Carlo Method: • use random numbers as an integration tool pick random x, random y if y2 < 1-x2: increment area thisisprobablythesimplestwayto use a computer for a calculation… butitworks!

  15. What is Monte Carlo? • The Monte Carlo Method: • use random numbers as an integration tool • Very intuitive picture of convolution integrals: • a series of choices from probability distributions Z picks mass electron ET and decay angles

  22. What’sthethirdpart? • Detector simulation: up to 5 minutes for a high-massevent (lotsofparticles, eachindividuallytrackedthroughhundredsof detector elements) whyisthisessential?

  23. measurements and discoveries! Data Analysis

  24. ATLAS computing for users Programminglanguages Interactive interfaces Maininterface: athena readsall data formats C++ ; steered by python thisrunsallsimulationandreconstruction can runyouranalysistoo…butexcecutabletypically 4GB Light interface: ROOT • Main programming languages: • FORTRAN (some generators) • C++ (main reconstruction algorithms, analysis) • python (steering, analysis)

  25. Data representation event • always organized by event • global quantities: • metadata • missing energy… • physics object lists: • muons • jets • tracks • “truth” particles… • object properties: • hits on tracks • jet constituents µ jet jet jet track track track track track track track track hit track hit “n-tuple”  “tree”

  26. Data representation

  27. User’s interface to nature: histograms Pseudocode: histo = makeHisto(nbins=50, firstbin=0*GeV, lastbin=200*GeV) for thisEvent in allEvents: if HasZBoson( thisEvent ): m = reconstructZBosonMass( thisEvent ) histo.FillWith( m ) ``Hello World’’ for HEP computing: making a histogram TH1F(“name”, “title; x title; y title”, nBins, firstBinValue, LastBinValue) TH1F::Fill(value,weight)

  28. note: in code examples, your input is given in green Example!

  29. Let’s measure the kaon lifetime (again)! • open the ROOT file: • you% root Hep101Data_2013.root • How to see everything in the file: • root [1] new TBrowser(); the file containsonehistogram (takenfromyourhomework)

  30. SomeROOT features: root [0] double x(3.0),y(4.0); sqrt(x*x+y*y) (const double)5.00000000000000000e+00 root [1] TLorentzVector pion(1500,0,0,1506.482); root [2] printf("The mass is %3.4g\n", pion.M( )); The mass is 139.6 root [3] TMath::C( <TAB> Double_t C() // m s^-1 root [4] TMath::C() (Double_t)2.99792458000000000e+08

  31. Mathematicalfunctions in ROOT • Simple: FitPanel (under Tools) • Alsoeasy: root [9] KaonDecays->Fit(“expo”) • More explicit: root [10] TF1 f("f","[0]*exp(-x/(100*[1]*TMath::C()))",0,60); //free parameters specified in brackets root [11] KaonDecays->Fit(f); • Complete program (from Dave)

  32. Nextsteps • You can download ROOT: • root.cern.ch • Homework: writeyourown Monte Carlo generatortosolveProblem 2 fromlecture5 a neutral pionbeamwithenergy E decaystotwophotons. Whatisthephotonenergydistribution in thelaboratoryframe? • Feel free tocontactatarce@phy.duke.eduwithsolutions, questions, etc!!

  33. homework hint: random numbers • Use the ROOT class TRandom3 for good performance. • Example • root [1] TRandom3 r; • root [2] float random1 = r.Gaus(0,35); //generate a gaussian-distributed random number with mean 0 and width 35; • root [3] float random2 = r.Flat(0,2*TMath::Pi()); //generate a scalar meson decay angle

  34. Postscript: ifyoudon’tlike C++ >>> import ROOT #from ROOT import * also works >>> pion = ROOT.TLorentzVector(1500,0,0,1506.482); >>> print "The mass is", pion.M(), "MeV" The mass is 139.5994854 MeV
