FCCAnalyses

Common framework for FCC related analyses. This framework allows one to write full analysis, taking EDM4hep input ROOT files and producing the plots.

As usual, if you aim at contributing to the repository, please fork it, develop your feature/analysis and submit a pull requests.

To have access to the FCC samples, you need to be subscribed to one of the following e-groups (with owner approval) fcc-eos-read-xx with xx=ee,hh,eh. For the time being, the configuration files are accessible on fccsw public AFS. This is not optimal and will be changed in the future with migration to DIRAC, thus you are also kindly asked to contact [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and request access to /afs/cern.ch/work/f/fccsw/public/FCCDicts/.

Detailed code documentation can be found here.

RootDataFrame based

Using ROOT dataframe allows to use modern, high-level interface and very quick processing time as it natively supports multithreading. In this README, everything from reading EDM4hep files on EOS and producing flat n-tuples, to running a final selection and plotting the results will be explained.

ROOT dataframe documentation is available here.

Getting started

In order to use the FCC analysers within ROOT dataframe, a dictionary needs to be built and put into LD_LIBRARY_PATH (this happens in setup.sh). The following needs to be done when running local code and for developers.

source ./setup.sh
mkdir build install
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install
make install
cd ..

Each time changes are made in the C++ code, for example in analyzers/dataframe/ please do not forget to re-compile :)

Generalities

Analyses in the FCCAnalyses framework usually follow standardized workflow, which consists of multiple files inside a single directory. Individual files denote steps in the analysis and have the following meaning:

1. analysis.py or analysis_stage<num>: In this file(s) the class of type RDFanalysis is used to define the list of analysers and filters to run on (analysers function) as well as the output variables (output function). It also contains the configuration parameters processList, prodTag, outputDir, inputDir, nCPUS and runBatch. User can define multiple stages of analysis.py. The first stage will most likely run on centrally produced EDM4hep events, thus the usage of prodTag. When running a second analysis stage, user points to the directory where the samples are located using inputDir.

2. analysis_final.py: This analysis file contains the final selections and it runs over the locally produced n-tuples from the various stages of analysis.py. It contains a link to the procDict.json such that the samples can be properly normalised by getting centrally produced cross sections. (this might be removed later to include everything in the yaml, closer to the sample). It also contains the list of processes (matching the standard names), the number of CPUs, the cut list, and the variables (that will be both written in a TTree and in the form of TH1 properly normalised to an integrated luminosity of 1pb^-1.

3. analysis_plots.py: This analysis file is used to select the final selections from running analysis_final.py to plot. It usually contains information about how to merge processes, write some extra text, normalise to a given integrated luminosity etc... For the moment it is possible to only plot one signal at the time, but several backgrounds.

Example analysis

To better explain the FCCAnalyses workflow let's run our example analysis. The analysis should be located at examples/FCCee/higgs/mH-recoil/mumu/.

Pre-selection

The pre-selection runs over already existing and properly registered FCCSW EDM4hep events. The dataset names with the corresponding statistics can be found here for the IDEA spring 2021 campaign. The processList is a dictionary of processes, each process having it's own dictionary of parameters. For example

'p8_ee_ZH_ecm240':{'fraction':0.2, 'chunks':2, 'output':'p8_ee_ZH_ecm240_out'}

where p8_ee_ZH_ecm240 should match an existing sample in the database, fraction is the fraction of the sample you want to run on (default is 1), chunks is the number of jobs to run (you will have the corresponding number of output files) and output in case you need to change the name of the output file (please note that then the sample will not be matched in the database for finalSel.py histograms normalisation). The other parameters are explained in the example file.

To run the pre-selection stage of the example analysis run:

fccanalysis run examples/FCCee/higgs/mH-recoil/mumu/analysis_stage1.py

This will create the output files in the ZH_mumu_recoil/stage1 subdirectory of the output director specified with parameter outDir in the file.

You also have the possibility to bypass the samples specified in the processList variable by using command line parameter --output, like so:

fccanalysis run examples/FCCee/higgs/mH-recoil/mumu/analysis_stage1.py \
       --output <myoutput.root> \
       --files-list <file.root or file1.root file2.root or file*.root>

The example analysis consists of two pre-selection stages, to run the second one slightly alter the previous command:

fccanalysis run examples/FCCee/higgs/mH-recoil/mumu/analysis_stage2.py

Pre-selection on batch (HTCondor)

It is also possible to run the pre-selection step on the batch. For that the runBatch parameter needs to be set to true. Please make sure you select a long enough batchQueue and that your computing group is properly set compGroup (as you might not have the right to use the default one group_u_FCC.local_gen as it request to be part of the FCC computing e-group fcc-experiments-comp). When running on batch, you should use the chunk parameter for each sample in your processList such that you benefit from high parallelisation.

Final selection

The final selection runs on the pre-selection files that were produced in the Pre-selection step. In the configuration file analysis_final.py various cuts are defined to be run on and the final variables to be stored in both a TTree and histograms. This is why the variables needs extra fields like title, number of bins and range for the histogram creation. In the example analysis it can be run like this:

fccanalysis final examples/FCCee/higgs/mH-recoil/mumu/analysis_final.py

This will create 2 files per selection SAMPLENAME_SELECTIONNAME.root for the TTree and SAMPLENAME_SELECTIONNAME_histo.root for the histograms. SAMPLENAME and SELECTIONNAME correspond to the name of the sample and selection respectively in the configuration file.

Plotting

The plotting analysis file analysis_plots.py contains not only details for the rendering of the plots but also ways of combining samples for plotting. In the example analysis it can be run in the following manner:

fccanalysis plots examples/FCCee/higgs/mH-recoil/mumu/analysis_plots.py

Resulting plots will be located the outdir defined in the analysis file.

Experimental

In an attempt to ease the development of new physics case studies, such as for the FCCee physics performance cases, a new experimental analysis package creation tool is introduced. See here for more details.
