MDC2020Dev

While MDC2020 is under development, Mu2e is providing a limited set of development data files. These are updated versions of MDC2018 files, intended to be used to develop and validate code intended to be run in MDC2020. These files will be replaced regularly as the data formats evolve, so that they will always be compatible with the head of the Offline master branch. The list of the currently available files is below. Note that these files are not recorded in the SAM database and are not backed up to tape, in order to minimize overhead and provide rapid updates. Data files are rooted in /pnfs/mu2e/persistent/users/mu2epro/MDC2020Dev/ = $MDC2020Dev . Note too that, currently, MDC2018 sim datasets (including mixin files) are still readable using the head of master, though that will change.
