SBN Ana Files Structure

Currently partially copied from NOvA's CAF File Structure wiki. This will be updated over time but eventually Doxygen will be a better resource as it'll be should be up to date.

The StandardRecord provides the structure for the object that make up the SBN Ana Files.

{{toc}}

Header Branch (rec.hdr)

The header branch is called "hdr." It contains information helpful in identifying the slice and event.

Type Variable Name Short description
unsigned int run run number
unsigned int subrun subrun number
unsigned int evt art event number
unsigned short subevt slice number within spill
bool ismc MC = true, data = false
Det_t det detector: 1 = SBND, 2 = MicroBooNE, 3 = ICARUS

Slice Branch (rec.slc)

The slice branch is called "slc." This branch stores variables resulting from the slicer module. Slicer is designed to cluster hits in time.

Type Variable Name Short description
unsigned int id
float charge
TVector3 vertex vertex position in detector coordinates [cm]

Track Branch (rec.trk)

The track branch, named "trk," contains multiple vectors of SRTrack objects. These objects are sorted by descending track length; i.e. the longest track comes first and the shortest track comes last. (@check@)

Type Variable Name Short description
TVector3 start start position in detector coordinates [cm]
TVector3 end end position in detector coordinates [cm]
float len track length [cm]
std::vector

Shower Branch (rec.shw)

The shower branch, named "shw," contains multiple vectors of SRShower objects.

Type Variable Name Short description
int bestplane best reconstructed plane: 1= , 2 =, 3 =,
float density density = best shower energy / best shower length [MeV/cm]
float len length [cm]
float energy energy [MeV]
float open_angle opening angle [rad]
std::vector dEdx calculated didx at each plane []
std::vector energy calculated didx at each plane [MeV]
SRVector3D dir direction cosines at the start of the shower
SRVector3D start start point in detector coordinates [cm]
