Summary

• It is often desirable to place cuts and make histograms of the data in JANA prior to making a ROOT TTree.
  • For example: data monitoring, cuts to reduce the # of kinematic fits, cuts on the pid or kinematic fit confidence levels, comparison of mass distributions before/after the kinematic fit, skim cuts, etc.
• DAnalysisAction objects enable users to easily integrate these tasks into an analysis: they encapsulate the setup and execution of a given action.
• These actions can be executed directly, but if they are added to the DReaction they will be executed sequentially by the DAnalysisResults_factory.
  • Actions will be executed on a given DParticleCombo object until it fails a cut, after which the remaining actions won't be executed on that object.
• All analysis action objects inherit from DAnalysisAction.
  • Many common actions have been pre-defined in DHistogramActions.* and DCutActions.*, located in sim-recon/src/libraries/ANALYSIS/
  • Additional, custom actions can be created in any plugin.

Reaction-Independent Actions

• Reaction-independent actions are actions that can be executed independently from the rest of the analysis framework. They do not depend on DReaction or DParticleCombo in any way.
  • These actions (should) have a default (void) constructor, distinguishing them from reaction-dependent actions (which do not).
• However, they can be added to DReaction objects and executed in sequence with the other DAnalysisAction objects.
  • This can be used to histogram reaction-independent quantities for events that satisfy cuts on your DReaction.
  • E.g.: Histogram the track multiplicity for events that satisfy a kinematic fit confidence level cut.

Setup and Execution

• There are (or should be) three different constructors for reaction-independent objects:
  • (const DReaction* locReaction, string locActionUniqueString = ""): Use this constructor if you want to add the action to a DReaction.
  • (void) and (string locActionUniqueString): Use these constructors when executing completely independently of any DReaction.

• The "locActionUniqueString" is used to distinguish the histograms between different instances of the same action.
  • For example, you may wish to create two sets of DHistogramAction_DetectedParticleKinematics histograms and have them filled under different scenarios.
  • locActionUniqueString should only be left unspecified (== "") up to one time (per thread), and other instances should be assigned a unique, distinguishing string.

• Example:

  //Define the actions (e.g., in plugin proccessor header file):
  DHistogramAction_TrackMultiplicity dHist_TrackMultiplicity;
  DHistogramAction_ThrownParticleKinematics dHist_ThrownParticleKinematics;
  DHistogramAction_DetectedParticleKinematics dHist_DetectedParticleKinematics;
  DHistogramAction_GenReconTrackComparison dHist_GenReconTrackComparison;
 
  //Execute the actions (e.g., in plugin processor evnt() method):
    //The histograms are created upon first-execution
  dHist_TrackMultiplicity(locEventLoop);
  dHist_ThrownParticleKinematics(locEventLoop);
  dHist_DetectedParticleKinematics(locEventLoop);
  dHist_GenReconTrackComparison(locEventLoop);

Pre-defined Actions

• Note: These can be found in sim-recon/src/libraries/ANALYSIS/DHistogramActions.*
• DHistogramAction_TrackMultiplicity: Histogram how many protons, pions, kaons, neutrals, etc. are reconstructed in each event.
  • Note: For particle ID, it uses the matching to the thrown tracks if available (from DMCThrownMatching), and the PID FOM if not available.
  • Note: You can histogram for different particle types by modifying the public dFinalStatePIDs variable before calling the function-call operator.
• DHistogramAction_ThrownParticleKinematics: Histogram the kinematics of the thrown particles, including momentum, θ, φ, vertex position, and vertex time.
  • Note: You can histogram for different particle types by modifying the public dFinalStatePIDs variable before calling the function-call operator.
• DHistogramAction_DetectedParticleKinematics: Histogram the kinematics of the detected particles, including momentum, θ, φ, vertex position, vertex time, β, Δβ, and tracking FOM.
  • Note: For particle ID, it uses the matching to the thrown tracks if available (from DMCThrownMatching), and the PID FOM if not available.
  • Note: You can histogram for different particle types by modifying the public dFinalStatePIDs variable before calling the function-call operator.
• DHistogramAction_GenReconTrackComparison: Histogram the difference between the reconstructed and thrown track kinematics, including momentum, θ, φ, vertex position, and vertex time.
  • Note: You can histogram for different particle types by modifying the public dFinalStatePIDs variable before calling the function-call operator.
• DHistogramAction_TOFHitStudy: Histogram the difference between the reconstructed and thrown TOF point information, including hit position, energy, and time.
  • Note: This action does not work on REST data, as the generated TOF hits are no longer available.

Reaction-Dependent Actions

• Reaction-dependent actions are actions that are designed to be executed on a given reaction's DParticleCombo objects.
  • They should be added to DReaction and executed by DAnalysisResults_factory's.
  • All of the constructors for these actions (should) require a DReaction* argument, distinguishing them from reaction-independent actions (which can have default constructors).
• The actions are executed sequentially, in the order they are added to the DReaction, by the DAnalysisResults_factory's.
  • Actions will be executed on a given DParticleCombo object until it fails a cut, after which the remaining actions won't be executed on that object.

Pre-defined Histogram Actions

• Note: These can be found in sim-recon/src/libraries/ANALYSIS/DHistogramActions.*
• Note: All of these actions protect against double-counting. Only unique particles/combinations are histogrammed.
  • For example, when histogramming the Λ invariant mass in γ, p → K^⁺, Λ, multiple DParticleCombo objects can have the same Λ invariant mass but different particles for the photon or K^⁺.
• DHistogramAction_ParticleComboKinematics(const DReaction* locReaction, bool locUseKinFitResultsFlag, string locActionUniqueString = ""): Histogram the kinematics of the particles in the still-surviving DParticleCombo objects, organized by their position in the DParticleCombo, including momentum, θ, φ, vertex position, vertex time, β, and Δβ.
  • Note: In other words, for a given particle "spot" in the DReaction, it histograms the kinematics of all of the particles that are still valid in that spot (they have been assigned the PID of that spot and have survived all of the cuts so far).
• DHistogramAction_PID:
• DHistogramAction_TruePID:
• DHistogramAction_TrackVertexComparison:
• DHistogramAction_KinFitResults:
• DHistogramAction_InvariantMass:
• DHistogramAction_MissingMass:
• DHistogramAction_MissingMassSquared:

Pre-defined Cut Actions

• Note: These can be found in sim-recon/src/libraries/ANALYSIS/DCutActions.*
