Greetings,

 

            You registered for the analysis tutorial on December 19th during the USATLAS physics workshop in Tucson. Here is some information in preparation for the tutorial:

 

-          We will use the USTALAS Linux nodes acas0xy for this tutorial.

 

-          If you do not have an account on these machines, you should get one as soon possible:

        http://www.acf.bnl.gov/UserInfo/GettingStarted/

 

-          You should do exercises 0 and 0.5 on this page before coming to the tutorial: www.usatlas.bnl.gov/PAT/tutorialTucson.html

 

-          We will use the ATLAS software release 9.0.2 for this tutorial. That release is currently being built at CERN and it is not yet available at BNL.

 

-          When the release 9.0.2 becomes available at BNL, you will be asked to do exercise 0.5: set-up your environment for 9.0.2 following the steps described in exercise 0.

 

-          Please do exercises 0 and 0.5 before coming to the tutorial – even if you are already an ATHENA guru – so we can all be at the same page before getting started.

 

-          You should read or at least know about the following documents

 

o       Reconstruction Task Force Report (RTF):

      http://atlas-proj-rtf.web.cern.ch/atlas-proj-rtf/final-public-release-22Sept03.pdf

 

o       ESD/AOD Definition Task Force:

http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/SOFTWARE/OO/domains/Reconstruction/AODESD/AODESDtaskforce.htm

 

-          You should register to the following mailing lists (if you have not already done so) if you want to be “on top of” reconstruction and analysis tools activities:

 

o       atlas-phys-analysis-tools@cern.ch

o       atlas-phys-validation@cern.ch

=====================================

If a person is called to be a streetsweeper, he

should sweep streets even as Michelangelo

painted, or Beethoven composed music, or

Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep

streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and

earth will pause to say, here lived a great

streetsweeper who did his job well.
