2015:groups:tools:lhaad:proposal2

Modifications: (19-Jun)

  1. Removed end blocks
  2. Added function arguments (e.g arg1, arg2,..)
  3. Renamed SR to CUT
  4. Inheritance explicitly defined by key 'contains'
  5. Changed cut language to select/reject
  6. Added new info block “units”

The idea is to write a plain text file that can be read easily into xml if needed (and hence universally readable). The name of the block become sthe xml tag. Anything that follows is turned into attributes. e.g. “name ATLAS” inside the block becomes <experiment name=“ATLAS”>. Anything inside the block starting with “#” is added as a comment, i.e. the block

info analysis
  # Details about experiment 
  id ATLAS-2014-XXX
  publication JHEP11(2014)118
  sqrtS 8.0
  lumi 20.0

converts to

<info name="analysis" id="ATLAS-2014-XXX" publication="JHEP11(2014)118" sqrtS="8.0" lumi="20.0" description="Details about analysis">

There are five types of pre-defined blocks:

  1. detectorobj (defines reconstructed objects)
  2. function (defines functions that act on these)
  3. cut (blocks of cuts)
  4. binning (following Daniel's idea, for complex descriptions of orthogonal signal regions)
  5. info (for meta information chosen by the implementer, e.g. information about publication, conf-notes, theory papers used for interpretation, benchmarks, etc.)

For presenting results, we need two more blocks, e.g.

  1. results (for expected, observed, S95, etc.)
  2. table (for providing digitised histograms etc.)

For any block, a link to code or external documentation can be provided. We can also include a MCsamples block to document the programs used to generate signal and background samples.

Part I: Preamble (define detector objects, variables)

Part 3: Present results of the analysis. Give numbers, exclusions, digitised histograms, link to plots, etc.

We need to think about information that is absolutely necessary for validation and whether to put it in the same kind of info block (which are currently entirely optional).
