pDUNE Oca Data Analyzer

Tools to convert, calibrate, analyze, and visualize NP02 beam plug tracker data. DAQ repo: https://github.com/emanuele-villa/oca-pDUNE-DAQ

Install

After cloning, initialize submodules and compile:

git clone https://github.com/emanuele-villa/oca-pDUNE-dataAnalyzer.git
cd oca-pDUNE-dataAnalyzer
./scripts/manage-submodules.sh --up
source scripts/compile.sh

Requirements:

• ROOT installed at /usr/local/
• json.hpp header available
• CMake >= 3.17, GCC >= 11 (or recent clang)

Scripts overview

Settings are read from a JSON (e.g., json/ev-settings.json) with inputDirectory and outputDirectory.

On lxplus (recommended), all dependencies are available when sourcing the environment via scripts/init.sh, which is invoked by the other scripts; you usually don't need to run it manually.

• analyzeRun.sh

  • Batch convert, calibrate (if needed), and analyze run(s).
  • Calibration policy: use the most recent previous CAL run’s .cal; if none, use the nearest later CAL; if the current run is CAL, use its own .cal.

• bmRawToRootConverter.sh

  • Convert .dat to ROOT only.

• evtDisplay.sh

  • Build and launch the interactive ROOT event display.

• hitsVsSigma.sh

  • Generate a Hits vs Sigma plot for a run. Similar flags to analyzeRun.sh.

Apps

• PAPERO_convert: raw .dat → ROOT
• calibration: produce channel baseline/sigma/mask .cal
• dataAnalyzer: main analysis producing per-run PDF and ROOT outputs
• event_display: GUI to browse events; Prev/Next, larger UI; 3 detectors (A,B,C)
• hits_vs_sigma: counts total hits across events for a sweep of sigma thresholds, with calibration-bad and edge channel masking; saves a PDF

Usage examples

Analyze a single run by number:

./scripts/analyzeRun.sh -f 275 -j json/ev-settings.json

Convert a run by number:

./scripts/bmRawToRootConverter.sh -j json/ev-settings.json -r 275

Open event display on a run (auto-build; sigma via CLI):

./scripts/evtDisplay.sh -j json/ev-settings.json -r 275 -s 7

Hits vs Sigma (sweep 1..15):

./scripts/hitsVsSigma.sh -r 275 -j json/ev-settings.json --smin 1 --smax 15 --sstep 1

Notes

• Detectors: active 3 (A,B,C). D is ignored.
• Channel count: 384; edge channels (first/last of each 64-chan ASIC) are masked in viewers/plots.
• findRun.sh centralizes run finding (pattern: SCD_RUN<5d>_*.dat).
