TrkAna

Overview

TrkAna is a track-based ROOT TTree that can be used to help with analysis. Each entry in the TTree corresponds to a single fitted track and contains reconstructed information from the tracker, calorimeter and CRV. There is also the option to write out Monte Carlo truth information and additional information for other track types that might be important to an analysis.

There is a tutorial and a hypernews forum you can sign up to.

How To Run

There is an example fcl configuration in the Offline repository that runs on reco datasets.

mu2e -c TrkDiag/fcl/TrkAnaReco.fcl -s mcs.art --TFileName trkana.root

This runs two instances of the TrackAnalysisReco module. One for negative tracks (TrkAnaNeg) and one for positive tracks (TrkAnaPos). Each tree has the same structure has shown below.

Tree Structure

Here is a very rough description of the tree branches and where to find leaf definitions in the repository:

Future Developments?

• Support for TTreeReader and RDataFrame?
