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.

How to Get Help

Feel free to send any questions to the #trkana Slack channel, or the 'Is It Me Or A Bug?' hypernews forum.

There is also a tutorial that is a few years old and will be updated soon.

For Analyzers

How To Create a TrkAna Tree

You can use the TrkAna Musing like so:

setup mu2e
muse setup TrkAna
mu2e -c TrkAna/fcl/TrkAnaReco.fcl -s mcs.art --TFileName trkana.root

where mcs.art contains the result of the Mu2e reconstruction.

In the trkana.root file, you will see two different TrkAna-related folders:

  • TrkAnaNeg contains the results of the negatively-charged tracks, and
  • TrkAnaPos contains the results of the positively-charged tracks.

TrkAna is designed to be flexibile so if this does not produce the type of tree you want, then there are fcl parameters that can be changed. A few examples are available here: https://github.com/Mu2e/TrkAna/tree/main/fcl and are given in the table below. Also, you can always ask for help on the #trkana channel on Slack

How to Analyze a TrkAna Tree

Each of these contain TTrees that you can use ROOT or python

with ROOT

You can use the trkana tree like you would any other ROOT TTree: with the ROOT command line for data exploration, with ROOT macros to make plots etc.

with Python

  • Note: the below is for uproot3

The best way to open ROOT files in Python is to use the uproot package. It does not require a working installation of ROOT, so it allows to read a ROOT file on basically any platform that supports Python (e.g. Colaboratory). It also provides a more pythonic bridge between ROOT and Numpy/pandas.

In order to open a ROOT TTree with uproot it's sufficient to write:

import uproot
trkananeg = uproot.open("trkana.root:TrkAnaNeg/trkana") # opens the 'trkana' tree in the 'TrkAnaNeg' folder

Now, if we want to store, for example, the deent branch in the dataframe:

df = trkananeg(filter_name=['deent*'],library="pd")


Once your data is stored in a pandas dataframe or in a numpy array you can plot it with the many plotting libraries available (matplotlib, plot.ly, etc.). This example shows how to plot an histogram with matplotlib:

import uproot
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

trkananeg = uproot.open("trkana.root:TrkAnaNeg/trkana")
df = trkananeg(filter_name=['deent*'],library="pd")

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1,1)
n, bins, patches = ax.hist(df["deent.mom"],
                           bins=60, 
                           range=(95,110), 
                           label="Reco. momentum")

A class that allows you to query the dataframe and plot manipulated variables can be found at https://github.com/soleti/mu2e_plotter.

For Developers

If you will be contributing to the development of TrkAna, then you can fork TrkAna on GitHub and build it within Muse Like so:

Once you log in:

setup mu2e
cd /your/working/directory
git clone git@github.com:<Your GitHub Username>/Offline.git (or muse backing Offline vXX_YY_ZZ)
git clone git@github.com:<Your GitHub Username>/TrkAna.git
muse setup
muse build -j4 --mu2eCompactPrint

Then you can make your developments and put in a pull request.
