MACRO Colleagues,
I have prepared a general purpose PAW NTUPLE that summarizes
MACRO's data taking from March 1994 (RUN 7295) to today, i.e.,
well over 6 years of MACRO's most recent running.
The NTUPLE has one entry per RUN and contains roughly 16KB
per RUN of summary variables (several thousands of them).
This includes all standard logbook (LGB) variables as well as a
number of RUN-based quantities that my general analysis yields:
full trigger/SPU statistics, detailed box-by-box counts
for all scintillator triggers (ERP muon/gc, TOHM, LIP, PHRASE,
SPAM, FMT, HIPT), livetimes of all triggers on a per SM basis,
maximum "quite" intervals for each one of them and many many more.
This NTUPLE:
o superseeds the LGB databases and makes available to users
of MACRO's LGB a structure that is significantly enlarged
and is available under all platforms (VMS/Unix/PC).
o is best suited for DETECTOR SYSTEMATICS studies, especially
for flux-yielding analyses based on "average" detector Monte
Carlo (neutrinos!).
o brings to your fingertips any high quality RUN selection
that rare-event hunting analyses (monopoles/LIPs/astronomy)
may want to entertain.
Please find all at:
o AXPGS0::DISK$SCRAUSA4:[MACRODATA.LGB.NTU] contains all NTUPLEs.
I've intentionally split it in pieces of 1000 MACRO RUNs at a
time (see below how to combine them). There are 17 files of
rougly 16MB each.
o AXPGS0::DISK$SCRAUSA4:[MACRODATA.LGB.SRC] contains all my
source code that produced these structures.
o AXPGS0::DISK$SCRAUSA4:[MACRODATA.LGB.KUMAC] contains sample kumacs
for dealing with this NTUPLE. The NTCHAIN.KUMAC shows how to
combine individual ntuples while MASTER.KUMAC shows an example
of RUN selection.
o AXPGS0::DISK$SCRAUSA4:[MACRODATA.LGB.HELP] contains basic HELP
pages for first time users. THis area is copied on the web also
under http://wsgs02.lngs.infn.it:8000/macro/summaries/
I hope other people may find this NTUPLE as useful as I did in
this last stage of MACRO's analyses or for any more in the future.
If you need any help in making use of it, or you have comments,
suggestions, bugs to report or results to show using it, I'll be
happy to hear.
Best Regards,
--Erik K.
