YAML description builder and parser for high energy physics (HEP) colliders such as ATLAS and CMS at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
This haskell implementation serves as a prototype definition for the corresponding objects in the ATOM project.
The package depends on yayaml which is a haskell YAML builder/parser for general purpose.
It provides a haskel library and two executables: mkyaml and parseyaml
mkyaml generates YAML files defined for the ATLAS and the CMS detector as haskell data structures.
After execution, top-level detector descriptions will be created in the top-level directory and each object
for identification and smearing will be located in the object directory.
DetectorDescription consists of the following information: Name, Class, Description, Reference,
Comment, ValidationInfo, Identification and Smearing. Objects in Identification and Smearing are
Electron, Photon, BJet, Muon, Jet, Tau, Track and PTThresholds.
Each object are a list of items, each of which is either an import or a directly embedded object.
For ATOM, we generally recommend to import each object in top-level files since it is easier
to identify each object with their names.
An import object is simply described by Import: (Name) where (Name) is the name of the object. The object
should be able to be found in the object directory as a YAML file with name (Name).yaml. Both of the YAML file
in the object directory and the embedded object have the same format. In the following, we describe the YAML
format of each object.
As a common format, the following meta-informations are necessary for every type of objects.
- Name : must be matched with the file name if it is defined in the
objectdirectory - Tag :
- Description :
- Comment :
- Reference :
