SensitivityModule is a Falaise pipeline module to process selected data from the SD, CD, TCD, TTD and PTD banks and output a ROOT ntuple file. It has significant overlap with the ParticleID module, but is not the same. In the long term, there is scope for consolidation.
- SensitivityModule.cpp
- SensitivityModule.h
- CMakeLists.txt
- SensitivityModuleExample.conf.in
Add to an flreconstruct pipeline to generate a ROOT ntuple file with some pertinent branches. To build it, do
$ ls
CMakeLists.txt SensitivityModule.h
README.md SensitivityModuleExample.conf.in
SensitivityModule.cpp
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<pathtoyourfalaiseinstall> ..
...
$ make
...
... If you are developing the module, you can test it by doing ...
$ make testNote: if you get a QT5 error, you may need to specify the QT5 path when you run the cmake line, as given by brew --prefix qt5-base. For example, you can run:
$ cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$(brew --prefix qt5-base);$(brew --prefix)" ..The build will create the libSensitivityModule shared library plus the example flreconstruct pipeline
script SensitivityModuleExample.conf. Assuming that you have an input.brio file that contains
the SD, CD, TCD, TTD and PTD banks from the full reconstruction pipeline of flreconstruct
(up to and including gamma clustering), this can be run as:
... Assume we run in the build dir ...
$ ls
CMakeCache.txt SensitivityModuleExample.conf
CMakeFiles cmake_install.cmake
Makefile
...
$ flreconstruct -i /path/to/input.brio -p SensitivityModuleExample.conf
...
$ ls
CMakeCache.txt SensitivityModuleExample.conf
CMakeFiles cmake_install.cmake
Makefile sensitivity.rootThe output file will by default be called sensitivity.root so don’t run it multiple times concurrently in the same directory
or you will overwrite the previous file! Use the falaise flreconstruct pipeline instructions to see how to integrate this module in your pipeline.
There is now the option to configure the output filename in the module configuration file. The final two lines of the configuration file must read:
[name="processing" type="SensitivityModule"] filename_out : string[1] = "my_filename.root"

reco.electron_charges : Vector of all electron-candidate charges. In descending order of energy. 1 = undefined (straight track), 4 = positive, 8 = negative.

reco.first_proj_vertex_y; reco.first_proj_vertex_z; reco.second_proj_vertex_y; reco.second_proj_vertex_z : Only for 2-electron or 1e-n-gamma topologies. If both tracks were linearly projected back to the foil (x=0), these would be their y and z coordinates. Unit is mm. Legacy: for 2 tracks only.

reco.projection_distance_xy : How far in the xy plane we had to project our longest-projected track. Proxy for how many cells we are claiming to have a track, but where we didn’t reconstruct a hit. Could be replaced by a mapping of broken cells etc.
reco.vertices_on_foil : Number of charged particle tracks with a vertex on the foil.
reco.electrons_from_foil : Vector of booleans corresponding to the electron candidates in descending order of energy. True if the electron candidate has a vertex on the source foil, false if not.
reco.electron_vertex_x(y,z) : Vector of the x(y,z) position of the foilmost vertex of each electron candidate in descending order of energy. The x direction is Italy to France (foil is at x ~ 0). The y direction is horizontal, parallel to the foil, you can see it in top view (tunnel to mountain). The z direction is vertical (0 in the middle).
reco.electron_dir_x(y,z) : Vector of the x(y,z) component of a unit vector in the initial direction of the electron track at its foilmost end, assuming it travels away from the foil. 1 vector entry for each electron candidate in descending order of energy.
reco.electron_proj_vertex_x(y,z) : Vector of the x(y,z) component of where the track would intersect the foil, if projected back with a straight line in its initial direction (thus x should be 0 or negligible). In future, we should do helix projection. 1 vector entry for each electron candidate in descending order of energy.
reco.alpha_vertex_x(y,z), reco.alpha_dir_x(y,z), reco.alpha_proj_vertex_x(y,z) : As with the electron equivalents, but for alphas. In this case there is no energy ordering (we don't measure alphas' energy). It is anticipated that there will rarely be more than 1 entry in these vectors except in the case of misreconstruction.
reco.edgemost_vertex : Absolute y position (in mm) of the vertex that is nearest to the edge of the detector in the y dimension. This could possibly be used with small cluster identification to find events near the edge of the detector who have two tracks, each associated with a calorimeter and with close vertices on the foil, but for one of which there are only 2 hits (because it is too near the edge to pass through 3 cells).
reco.topology_1e1gamma : True if event has 1 electron candidate (track with associated hits) and 1 gamma candidate (collection of unassociated hits with timings corresponding to a single gamma)
reco.topology_1e1alpha : True if event has 1 electron candidate (track with associated hits) and 1 alpha candidate (cluster of delayed tracker hits with no associated calorimeter hit)
reco.topology_1engamma : True if event has 1 electron candidate (track with associated hits) and 1 or more gamma candidates (collections of unassociated hits with timings corresponding to a gamma)
reco.topology_2e : True if event has a 2-electron topology (2 tracks with associated calorimeter hits, no gammas, no other tracks). False if not.
reco.topology_1e : True if event has a 1-electron topology (1 track with associated calorimeter hits, no gammas, no other tracks). False if not.
reco.angle_between_tracks : For 2-electron events: Angle between the initial momentum vectors of the two tracks. Does not require them to share a vertex (maybe it should). For 1-electron-n-gamma events, angle between the electron track and the highest-energy gamma “track”, if we assume that the gamma travels from the foil-most electron vertex to the centre of the calorimeter that it hits first.
reco.same_side_of_foil : If 2 tracks: True if both tracks are on the same side of the foil, false if not
**reco.first_track_direction_x; reco.first_track_direction_y ; **reco.first_track_direction_z; reco.second_track_direction_x; reco.second_track_direction_y ; reco.second_track_direction_z : Initial direction vectors for the two tracks (Only if two tracks, arbitrary which is which)
reco.internal_probability : Calculates the probability that it is an internal event (both tracks are initiated in the foil). Available for 2-electron events, or 1-electron-n-gamma events, in which case it uses the path of the highest energy gamma. If internal, this should be equally distributed from 0 to 1. If external (particle leaves one calorimeter, travels to foil, then to another calorimeter) this will be very close to 0. Calculated from energy and time of calorimeter hits vs length of tracks.
reco.external_probability : If 2 associated tracks, this calculates the probability that it is an external event (particle leaves one calorimeter, travels to foil, then to another calorimeter). Available for 2-electron events, or 1-electron-n-gamma events, in which case it uses the path of the highest energy gamma. If external, this should be equally distributed from 0 to 1. If internal (both tracks are initiated in the foil) this will be very close to 0. Calculated from energy and time of calorimeter hits vs length of tracks.
reco.foil_projected_internal_probability; reco.foil_projected_external_probability : As internal and external probability, if each track’s length were extended to project the track linearly back to the foil
reco.calo_hit_time_separation : If 2 calorimeter hits - time delay in nanoseconds between the hits. Used in the past as a crude proxy for internal/external probability.
reco.delayed_track_time : If a delayed track, the time of the first delayed hit in ns. This is a vector with an entry for each reconstructed alpha candidate.
reco.delayed_cluster_hit_count : Number of hits in the delayed cluster. Used to determine the correct metric for calculating the alpha track and alpha projected track lengths
reco.foil_alpha_count : Number of alphas with a vertex identified as being on the source foil
reco.alpha_track_length : Length in mm of the delayed track. This length is calculated in different ways depending on the number of hits in the delayed cluster. This is due to the way < 3 hit tracks are treated by alpha finder. More detail is provided in code comments.
reco.proj_track_length_alpha : Length in mm of delayed track when it is projected back to the back to the electron projected foil vertex. Again this calculation is different for delayed tracks with 1,2 or >2 hits. See code for more detail.
reco.alpha_crosses_foil : True if an alpha track has been reconstructed which crosses the foil. This is unlikely to happen in real life, but alpha finder allows this in its short track reconstruction. This is considered a bug in alpha finder that should be fixed - but until then, this variable allows a cut on those events.
reco.electron_hits_mainwall; reco.electron_hits_xwall; reco.electron_hits_gveto : Vectors corresponding to each reconstructed electron in the event, starting from the most energetic and decreasing in energy order. For each one, if the associated calo hit for that electron was in the specified wall, it will be true, otherwise false. (Therefore, for each entry number, only 1 of these three should be true).
reco.gamma_fractions_mainwall; reco.gamma_fractions_xwall; reco.gamma_fractions_gveto : Vectors corresponding to each reconstructed gamma in the event, starting from the most energetic and decreasing in energy order. For each one, they give the fraction of the energy of that gamma that was deposited in the given wall. (With gamma tracker, a given gamma can scatter to several calorimeters). (Therefore, for each entry number, the values for the 3 vectors should add up to 1).
reco.gamma_hits_mainwall; reco.gamma_hits_xwall; reco.gamma_hits_gveto : Vectors corresponding to each reconstructed gamma in the event, starting from the most energetic and decreasing in energy order. For each one, if the FIRST (in time) hit for that gamma was in the specified wall, it will be true, otherwise false. (Therefore, for each entry number, only 1 of these three should be true).
true.highest_primary_energy : The energy of the highest-energy primary particle in the interaction (from SD bank)
true.second_primary_energy : The energy of the second-highest-energy primary particle in the interaction (from SD bank)
true.total_energy : Summed energy of every primary particle in the interaction (from SD bank)
true.vertex_x : X coordinate of the true event vertex (generator level, from SD bank). Foil is at x ~ 0, main calo walls are at +/- 434.994 mm according to flvisualize. Unit is mm.
true.vertex_y : Y coordinate of the true event vertex (generator level, from SD bank). The y direction is horizontal, parallel to the foil, you can see it in top view. Unit is mm.
true.vertex_z : Z coordinate of the true event vertex (generator level, from SD bank). The z direction is vertical, parallel to the wires, you can see it in side view. Unit is mm.
true.higher_particle_type : The particle type (electron, gamma, positron) of the highest energy particle in the event. (1 - gamma, 3-electron, 47- alpha)
true.lower_particle_type : The particle type (electron, gamma, positron) of the lowest energy particle in the event. (1 - gamma, 3-electron, 47- alpha)
