Analysis resources for d2n
NOTES:
- Do NOT copy/store ROOT files in $HOME/*. Filling $HOME on the adaq cluster and other JLab machines will cause major problems for you and others. Besides, we have much more space on the work disk (see below).
- Do NOT copy/store data files to $HOME/* for any reason.
If you need to create customized ROOT files then please make a personal directory here: '/work/halla/e06014/disk1/ and direct the analyzer to use that path.

Retrieving files from the Silo/Auger
Use jcache to retrieve files from tape. They will show up in '/cache/mss/halla/e06014/raw/' in a few minutes (usually). The analyzer will automatically find them there.
For example: jcache /mss/halla/e06014/raw/e06014_1246.dat.0 puts the file in '/cache/mss/halla/e06014/raw/e06014_1246.dat.0'
There are very few good reasons to need to copy/store root files or data files in your home directory. Please leave the data files on the /cache/* disks and keep root files on the /work/halla/e06014/* file system.

A backup of all files in /adaqfs/home/adaq/e06014/ (online replay files, etc) was made on 01 Sept 2009. (This is in addition to JLab's standard backup mechanisms.)
- It can be found at /work/halla/d2n/adaq-e06014/ (read-only).
- A tarball (1.6 GB) can be retrieved from the Silo to your current working directory with this command. (As a rule, you should not have to do this.)

Replayed ROOTfile Locations
- On Tape:
- BigBite
- Raw ROOT files
- BigBite
/mss/halla/e06014/analysis/1pass/RawROOTfiles/
Above is the location of the raw ROOT files for the 1-pass 3He and H2 runs with BigBite set in negative polarity. These all have the cut requiring one or more tracks in the BigBite detector.
/mss/halla/e06014/analysis/4pass/RawROOTfiles/
Above is the location of the raw ROOT files for the production 4-pass 3He and N2 runs with BigBite set in negative polarity. These all have the cut requiring one or more tracks in the BigBite detector.
- Skim ROOT files
/mss/halla/e06014/analysis/1pass/SkimROOTfiles/ElasticH2SkimROOTfiles/
Above is the location of the skimmed ROOT files for the elastic one pass H2 runs. These all have the cut requiring one or more tracks in the BigBite detector.
/mss/halla/e06014/analysis/1pass/SkimROOTfiles/Elastic3HeSkimROOTfiles/Mass3He/

- NOTE: [BDS] There are runs in this report that need additional investigation and labelling (ie. they are tagged as production, but look like something else), and a 3-day period where there are no NMR data (looks like the 4pass unpolarized period). Water calibration is still to be completed.
