Overview

another repository: cdmsbats_config. Starting August 2022, the processing configuration files are found in a separate repository: cdmsbats_config. The filenames start with processing and may end with Default(you will also find config files for specific runs, facilities or both here). These files are used by cdmsbats to make analysis decisions. For e.g., these files have parameters that tell cdmsbats what kind of cuts to apply, what detectors and channels to process and what algorithms to apply. In addition, it also performs some administrative functions like determining file names for BatNoise and BatRoot outputs and pointing file locations. Look in the file and follow the examples. It is fairly self explanatory and the format is flexible.

Glossary of Configuration Commands in BatRoot Processing Terms

Layout

PARAMETER_NAME - Full name, replacing all shorthands - [Type]. Brief description, including units and valid inputs if applicable. Default: Value that all config files were set to, if applicable. Does not indicate that a value will be set automatically.

  • Directory within UserSettings that files including the parameter can be found: Subdirectory
    • Where data was taken (middle of filename): Runs that include this parameter (end of filename).
    • Alternatively, "Required" will be written if all config files in subdirectory must have the parameter to be run.

Shorthands

CHAN - Channel

Const - Constant

DET - Detector

F5 -

Freq - Frequency

MAX - Maximum

P - Phonon

PT - Phonon Temperature

RQ - Reduced Quantity

RTFT - Rise Time/Fall Time

VT - Veto

Required in Alphabetical Order

These are a list of necessary parameters that must be used or defined in BatRoot processing files.

D

DET_TYPE - [Integer]. 4: ZIPS. 5: Mercedes ZIPS. 6: ENDCAPS. 11: iZIPS. 21: CDMSlite. 700: iZIPS 710: 100mm HV. Why is iZIPS here twice? Check that values are correct.

  • BatRoot: Processing
    • Required

DETECTOR - [Target]. Specifies a detector or list of detectors, numbered from 1 to 30. Formats: DETECTOR #, DETECTOR #-#, or DETECTOR #,#, or any combination thereof. Spaces between list items are optional. Example: DETECTOR 1-3, 5, 7-9, 12, 17-24. Most commands will specify a set of detectors.

DO_PROCESSING - [Type]. True (1) or False (0).

F

FILEINDEX_PREFIX - [PREFIX]. Specify a prefix for file index. Fxxxx for normal data, Vxxxx for veto pulsar

  • BatRoot: Processing
    • Required

M

MAX_EVENTS - [Integer]. Give a maximum number of events to process.

  • BatRoot: Processing
    • Required

MAX_TOWERS - [Integer]. Total number of towers.

  • BatRoot: Processing
    • Required

MAX_VTPANELS - [Integer]. Total number of veto panels.

  • BatRoot: Processing
    • Required

MAX_ZIPS - [Integer]. This must be set at least to the highest detector number used, not just to the number of detectors. Example: If you select detectors 1,3,5, you will need to set MAX_ZIPS to 5, not to 3.

  • BatRoot: Processing
    • Required
