Building 28c, 2nd Floor (Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY))

3. REST-for-Physics in a nutshell

16/03/2023, 08:30

A general overview of all the REST-for-Physics ecosystem, including:

• Event data types, metadata classes and REST processes.
• Core classes: TRestRun, TRestAnalysisTree, TRestDataSet, ...
• Helper classes: TRestTools, TRestStringHelper, ...
• Using units inside REST (TRestSystemOfUnits)
• Physics constants (TRestPhysics)
• Output levels (TRestStringOutput)
• Code and data versioning...

4. Geant4 simulations using restG4

16/03/2023, 10:00

In this session we will learn about restG4 and the REST-for-Physics geant4lib that can be used to process the results obtained with a restG4 simulation.

The main components of a restG4 simulation will be described, such as particle generator, physics lists, GDML geometry, and geant4 metadata describing the simulation conditions.

Exercises:
- Visualise and modify a GDML geometry.
-...

5. Accessing data using REST-for-Physics

16/03/2023, 11:30

We will learn how to access REST-for-Physics generated data by different means, accessing metadata classes, reading analysis tree, or looping on events are some of the common tasks performed with REST.

Different ways to access the data will be introduced in different environments, using C-macros, python scripts, using restRoot interactive ROOT-shell, or exploring a file using a ROOT browser.
