Title: New features in Atlantis


1
New features in Atlantis
  • Janice Drohan, Zdenek Maxa, Nikos Konstantinidis
    (UCL)
  • Eric Jansen, Pieter Klok, Charles Timmermans
    (Nijmegen)
  • Hans Drevermann (CERN), Andrew Haas (Columbia)

2
Outline
  • Atlantis philosophy
  • Geometry CTB Geometry
  • Online/Interactive event access
  • Other new features (esp. Calorimeters)
  • Plans

3
Atlantis philosophy
  • Principles
  • Visualise understand complete ATLAS events in
    all their complexity
  • Hide the detector details in favour of clarity
    for the event data
  • No operation (zoom, rotate, plot) should take
    more than a second (and most should take no
    time)

4
Geometry
  • The simplified Atlantis geometry is produced by
    JiveXML in athena at initialization (using
    GeoModel)
  • Set in jobOs (really only for experts)
  • EventData2XML.WriteGeometry True
  • Produces XML geometry files

5
Calorimeters in CTB
  • Rotation tricky but now it works! (thanks to
    Claire)
  • That was the last missing piece in having the
    full description of CTB. All detectors are now
    there!

6
CTB Rotation of Calorimeters
  • A set of geometry files (h0.2, 0.3, ) to change
  • Now possible to change geometry on the fly
  • Contact us if you want geometry for your
    favourite value of h

Event access
  • By default
  • Run athena/JiveXML to produce XML event files
  • (one per event)
  • Look at the XML files with Atlantis
  • Convenient independent
  • Put Atlantis XMLs on laptop, look at them on
    the plane (laptop Mac, Linux, Windows)
  • Also possible to read events from URL address
  • But we would like also some more direct
    connection between athena and Atlantis

10
Interactive data access (I)
  • Using xmlrpc client(atlantis) server(athena)
    protocol
  • Run athena interactively (athena i) and add in
    jobOptions
  • EventData2XML.OnlineMode True
  • EventData2XML.ServerName hostname
  • Then from Atlantis ask for next event
  • or, for online running, set the refresh time
    (used in the CTB)

11
Interactive event access (II)
12
Interactive event access (III)
  • All this works but there is more to do
  • Would like to select three tracks in Atlantis and
    tell athena to run a vertex fitter on them
  • Would like to re-run the jet clustering with
    different parameters and re-transmit back to
    Atlantis only the new jets (and associations)
  • Save an event (in XML) that looks interesting
  • These are all part of the long term plans (but
    interactive Athena running with python needs to
    improve too)

13
Atlantis in external sw area
  • Until recently Atlantis was
  • download-able from http//cern.ch/atlantis
  • installed on /afs/cern.ch/atlas/project/Atlantis/c
    urrent
  • In addition, now (soon after 9.3.0), Atlantis has
    been made an external package and will be
    distributed with the ATLAS sw releases.
  • And a glue package will give you the alias
    atlantis so you will just need to type
    atlantis to run it with your local
    installation of ATLAS software

14
Calo requests
  • Useful session with Calo community on 17/11
  • Requested
  • Logarithmic energy scale
  • Grey-scale Colour coding for energy
  • More projections
  • Lego plot in eta-phi
  • Explained existing Calo features
  • Very useful interaction please help us to help
    you!

17
Plans till Easter
  • Work on the Calo shopping list
  • Follow-up new InDet EDM (JiveXML)
  • Follow-up on Truth access changes (JiveXML)
  • Developers documentation (plenty of User Help
    exists!)
  • Work on other user requests

18
Longer term plans
  • Re-design/structure JiveXML
  • Beginner/Advanced user GUI
  • Atlantis athena interaction
  • More features (on demand), commissioning support,
    users support/training etc

19
Summary
  • Atlantis is there to help reconstruction/physics
    communities
  • For any ideas, feedback, contributions contact
