There are a number of data file types that we are using to store detector data, either real or MC generated. This page serves as a guide to those.
Simple tree format that contains all hit information.
File name example: digit_023431_009.root
Essentially the same as E906, with a few variable name changes.
File name example: run_004500_spill_000000001_sraw.root
Complex tree structure with specially defined classes for variables. Not readable except with Fun4All framework.
File name example: DST.root
Output of Fun4All MC generation of events. Includes MC truth for tracks, and both detectorID and elementID as well as individual elements for each detector.
Does not include TDC time of events.
File name example: track_QA_v2.ROOT
Notes: This file is not the primary output file. This file (and several others) is derived from the DST (primary output) using converter code which essentially is C++ content that load the library and output a light root file based on demand. If you need special or additional variables, let me know (za2hd@virginia.edu) and I will make the code.
