RunNumbers
Introduction
On this page we reserve run number ranges to attempt to prevent multiple uses for a single run number. This is important to not generate conflicting file names or conditions database entries, and to improve communication and documentation.
The plan to assign run number ranges, in this period before beam data, was discussed and agreed in the Trigger Group meeting. The group requesting a run number range must stay within that range until they request another block of run numbers. An OTS TDAQ instance can have its initial run number set to the beginning of the range, then it can increment the run number automatically with each run start. The Trigger Group will continue to discuss and develop a plan to coordinate run numbers in a central, database-backed method.
Only the Calibration Coordinator or Offline Co-leaders are allowed to reserve run ranges.
- use the next available numbers above the reserved
- be modest in the number reserved (you can always come back for more)
- tests and simulation will have run number below 100,000
- data, including test beam, test stands and cosmics, will have run numbers above 100,000
Reserved run numbers
The "Organizer" of a run number range has the primary responsibility to assure the group using the run numbers stays within the run range, or arrange for another block of numbers.
