Datasets-SU2020-Naming-Conventions

(work in progress)

Mu2e files are required to have 6 field-long names, see https://mu2ewiki.fnal.gov/wiki/FileNames for more details, example:

 cnf.mu2e.su2020.dddddddd.rrrrrr_ssssssss.art

• Let's use MC run number 1000 only for all datasets
• lets fix the third field to su2020 (lowcased) - that would allow to find handily for all su2020 datasets in SAM catalog
• 1+2 fix 5 fields out of 6.
• It makes sense to treat the remaining field as a 8 char long dataset ID. Having fixed length dataset ID is handy

in many respects - we will need to propagate it through the whole analysis chain, from the MC files through the output

of reconstruction to ntuples and histogram files.

• in addition to the dataset ID, a dataset has to have a long descriptive name, but it is the dsid which is supposed

to be used for all practical purposes in the software. Ok, so

 dddddddd = DDDDVSOB

 DDDD: 4-character-long name stub (it looks that 4 chars would allow us to name meaningfully  all datasets we have so far dealt with

 V   : dataset version, i.e. 0,1,2 ...  (in principle, could be anything and be used for any purpose)
 S   : stage index: some datasets require a multi-stage generation, to make a clean and visible cut, can assign S=a to reconstruction
 O   : for stages with several output streams, just number them - 0,1,2,3,4...
 B   : beam intensity : 0 - signal only, 1 : 1 batch mode, 2 : 2 batch mode , the rest -reserved for future
