Monte Carlo Production Page

Simulation Production Request

The simulation production requests web page can be found here.

Final States

The production final states are dictated by physics considerations. Descriptions of final states and run numbers can be found via the physics web page.

All simulated physics final states are confgured via an input file which describes the particles to be produced and the decay modes to be simulated. These configuration files are part of the ProdDecayFiles package. To add or modify a decay mode ProdDecayFiles must be updated. Anders Ryd is the package coordinator for ProdDecayFiles.

The bfreport command can be used to track the status of production. Type "bfreport --help" for instructions on how to use the bfreport command.

Remote Production sites

The requirements to participate as a Production site are documented. There is a recent list of site capabilities and contacts.

Simulation Code

The simulation code is documented in its own web page.

Batch System at SLAC

The Batch Farm at SLAC is documented here.

HOWTO for Setup, Validation and General Operations

The steps to do Production site setup, validation and production operations are (mostly) documented.

How to export remote SP production to SLAC ?

Production Code

How to determine which code has been used in Production. This includes a "known bugs" list.

Quality Control

Production Quality Assurance is documented here.
