Installing Atlantis

  • Unzip atlantis
unzip atlantis_10.0.0-20050408.zip
  • Done!

Running Atlantis

  • After the previous step you can now run atlantis by typing:
java -jar atlantis/atlantis.jar
  • Or if you would like to look at event displays reconstructed with ATLFAST type:
java -jar atlantis/atlantis.jar Fast
  • Atlantis versions require JAVA version 1.4 or higher to run.
  • Atlantis will start-up with an example event display file with which you can play around a bit. You can select another event display by going to "File" followed by "Read event" in the Atlantis GUI window. Atlantis event displays are stored in the form of a .xml file. The next section will explain how to create your own event display files using JiveXML

Creating event display files with JiveXML

  • Obtain an AFS token at cern: klog <cern_userid>@cern.ch and type your CERN AFS password at the prompt.
  • Check-out and compile the latest version of JiveXML
cmt co -r JiveXML-00-03-65 graphics/JiveXML
cd graphics/JiveXML/JiveXML-00-03-65/cmt
gmake
  • Did you do the Generating_Higgs_To_4_Muons_at_NIKHEF tutorial? To create event displays of the files you created just add the following lines in the code of joboptions_HiggsGeneration.py that was given in the tutorial.
include( "JiveXML/JiveXMLAtlfast_jobOptionFragment.py" )
EventData2XML = Algorithm( "EventData2XML" )
EventData2XML.FileNamePrefix = "HiggsTo4Muons_FAST"
  • For each event that you reconstruct JiveXML will create a file .xml that will look like: HiggsTo4Muons_FAST_0_00000.xml (first event), HiggsTo4Muons_FAST_0_00001.xml (second event) etc. This files can now be opened in Atlantis (running in Fast mode!) as was explained previously.


  • If you are using RecExCommon for full reconstruction just add the following line in myTopOptions.py to create a JiveXML-file for each event you reconstruct
doJiveXML=True
