General tools for data manipulation, Job management, etc.

mergeTier2Files.py

usage ./mergeTier2Files.py <outputFile>.root <srm-source-path>

• <srm-source-path> has to be of the form: "srm://grid-srm.physik.rwth-aachen.de:8443/srm/managerv2?SFN=/pnfs/physik.rwth-aachen.de/cms/store/user/<...>/_/"
• the <date>_<time> directory contains numbered directries 0001,0002,... that contain the root files
• example usage: ./mergeTier2Files.py out.root srm://grid-srm.physik.rwth-aachen.de:8443/srm/managerv2?SFN=/pnfs/physik.rwth-aachen.de/cms/store/user/jolange/data/Test/GJets_HT-400to600_Tune4C_13TeV-madgraph-tauola/sizeCheck/150504_120017/

checkPrescale.py

Use ./checkPrescale.py to check if triggers have prescales for events in a file. If a trigger has a prescale, the script prints runNumber:luminosityBlockNumber:eventNumber and the used prescale. Change

• myTriggers the triggers you want to inspect
• events the file you want to check

runDlumi.py

Calculate the lumi for 25ns data for runD (and possibly later) only for a given JSON file:

./runDlumi.py /afs/cern.ch/cms/CAF/CMSCOMM/COMM_DQM/certification/Collisions15/13TeV/Cert_246908-258159_13TeV_PromptReco_Collisions15_25ns_JSON_v3.txt

Calls the brilcalc tool, which has to be installed.

showGenSUSYcontent.py

Show PDG ID histograms in the relevant range for SUSY particles:

./showGenSUSYcontent.py file.root

If MINIAODSIM or AODSIM is contained in the filename, the right Trees and Branches are used. Otherwise, the 13 TeV and 8 TeV paths are tried.

addBinoDecay.py

adds a Decay block (chi01->~G X) to a GGM SLHA file (neutralino1 is stable there, Pythia8 can no longer calculate the decay on its own) for bino-like NLSP

./addBinoDecay.py M2_640_M1_630.slha

copy_cfg.py

Copy a part of a file or dataset to a local file. The output filename will be guessed from the input file or dataset.

cmsRun copy_cfg.py dataset=/SinglePhoton/Run2015D-PromptReco-v4/MINIAOD [maxEvents=50]
