Week of the 6th

I acquired and installed GEMC, COATJAVA, and CED on Ubuntu 16.04. Installation instructions can be found here.

GEMC Install Notes

GEMC and the common environment are found here

There was some trouble in installing the common environment (ce) due to an awk program (mawk, in this case) segfaulting. I was able to get around this by downloading a different awk program, gawk. After downloading the ce I had some trouble with the default version of Geant4; updating the Geant4 version numbers in ce/settings.xcconfig and ce/versions.env to 4.10.04.p01 resolved the issue.

After the GEMC install proper, it was also necessary to install the clas12Tags repository, where scons took issue with an undefined variable in physcisList.cc. Uncommenting the line which defined theParticleIterator allowed the tags to be compiled.

COATJAVA Install Notes

Release versions can be found here. Otherwise, one must clone either the development version or a fork of it.

Attempting to run any of the coatjava scripts with ./ChupaThingy throws a source not found error, use bash ChupaThingy instead.

CED Install Notes

Downloads can be found here.

Week of the 13th

Finished Troubleshooting installs for the most part.

Wasn't seeing any meaningful events from GEMC. Took the issue up with Dr. Forest who showed that it was likely a combination of bad starting vertex placement and small sample size. He suggested using Lund files instead. I currently have one that produces 26 usable events. In time I'm going to have to learn to create my own.

TODO:

  • Ensure that my development build is using the correct mag fields.
  • Get a local database setup
  • write up what hits, clusters, segments, and crosses are.
