REve/Mu2e Event Display

Introduction

The REve/Mu2e Event Display is useful for visualizing the data or MC you are analyzing.

I have prepared two examples:

1) Visualize a CeEndpoint Mix sample 2) Visualize a Cosmic sample in Extracted mode

Before you start

You should have REve within the tutorial environment. If you are working on outside of the tutorial then you will need to clone and build the REve/Mu2e repo.

The first step is to modify your .rootrc in the working directory to the commands listed in the REve/README.md. Choose a number that is not 1234 for the port number and set this in your .rootrc. This will be the port that you will use to access the display once it's running. If you want a unique number, use the last four or five digits of your FNAL badge.

When running REve you must be in the working directory.

CeEndpoint

Look at the helix_example.fcl. If you are familar with Mu2e data products you will recognize the options you have to display.

Task 1: View all products

Without altering the fcl run the following command:

mu2e -c REve/examples/helix_example.fcl /pnfs/mu2e/tape/phy-sim/mcs/mu2e/CeEndpointMix1BBSignal/MDC2020z_best_v1_1/art/01/94/mcs.mu2e.CeEndpointMix1BBSignal.MDC2020z_best_v1_1.001210_00000787.art

You should see a series of print statements and a pause.

If you are on the FNAL site, open a browser on your local machine and copy the URL (something like http://localhost:3001/win1/) change this to something like (http://mu2egpvm02.fnal.gov:3001/win1/).

If you are off-site you will need to setup a tunnel ,something like:

ssh -KXY -L 3001:mu2egpvm01.fnal.gov:3001 user@mu2egpvm01.fnal.gov

change "3001" to the number you are given by ROOT, or that you chose in your .rootrc. Then something like http://localhost:3001/win1/ in the browser should help.

You should see an image of the CEEndpoint with pileup. By default the MC trajectory, KalSeed and CaloClusters and CaloCrystals are shown).

Hover over objects to find information about them. Use the "Next Event" to skip (do this slowly).

Once finished select the "Quit" button to exit.

Extracted

During first data taking we will view cosmic muons in an extracted positon. Here the Calo and Tracker are outside the solenoids and a few sections of the CRV are placed above.

Task 2: Viewing extracted cosmics

Extracted mode means the tracker and calorimeter are outside the solenoid. We want to visualize straight cosmics in this mode.

mu2e -c REve/examples/extracted_example.fcl /pnfs/mu2e/scratch/users/brownd/workflow/default/outstage/3553474/00/00000/mcs.brownd.CosmicCRYExtractedCatDigiTrk.MDC2020z.001205_00000012.art

Try with the default setting, select Next Event (slowly) until you see the events with visible CRV bar hits.

You can try "Quitting" once you see that event.

Try setting MCTraj : false in the extracted_example.fcl and rerun. You are now looking at a reconstructed Kalman track known as a Kinematic Line fit in KinKal.
