arrakis-nd 2.0.0

Arrakis module for near detector data.

ArrakisND

Arrakis module for the near detector data. This module generates ARRAKIS.h5 files which correspond to FLOW.h5 files whose information can be found on the 2x2 Wiki. Arrakis is built to run with h5 + MPI through the use of a dedicated container which is available on NERSC. Arrakis operates as a post FLOW process which generates (1) arrays that compliment the reconstructed charge and light datasets in the FLOW, as well as (2) a set of StandardRecord objects that can be used as a benchmark for any downstream reconstruction task.

Getting the Repository

In the terminal, one can clone this repository by typing the command:

git clone https://[e-mail]/Neutron-Calibration-in-DUNE/ArrakisND.git

This uses the HTTPS protocol. For environments (e.g. computing clusters) where one has to use the SSH protocol:

git clone [e-mail]:Neutron-Calibration-in-DUNE/ArrakisND.git

Anyone in the "Neutron-Calibration-in-DUNE" organization should be able to develop (push changes to the remote repository).

Please contact Nicholas Carrara, Marjolein van Nuland or Georgette Kufatty about becoming involved in development before merging with the master branch.

Getting the Container

Arrakis is developed to work within a container environment. The container is hosted on dockerhub, which can be downloaded through the command:

docker pull infophysics/nersc

Running on Perlmutter

Running on Perlmutter requires that you have access to NERSC and to the 'dune' group.

Setting up a daily SSH

Below is a snippet taken from the NERSC site which details how to set up a daily ssh proxy, so that you only have to enter your password + OTP once per day to access perlmutter:

NERSC has developed a service, called sshproxy, that allows you to use MFA to get an ssh key that is valid for a limited time (24 hours by default). sshproxy provides a type of single-sign-on capability for ssh to NERSC systems. Once you have obtained a key, you can use it to ssh to NERSC systems without further authentication until the key expires.

The sshproxy service uses a RESTful API for requesting keys. NERSC provides a bash client script that you can use from the command line on a Unix-like computer.

sshproxy on Unix-like Systems (macOS, Cygwin and Windows Subsystem for Linux included)¶ INSTALLING THE CLIENT¶ You can download the bash client sshproxy.sh via scp:

scp [e-mail]:/global/cfs/cdirs/mfa/NERSC-MFA/sshproxy.sh .

where myusername is your NERSC login ID. The above command uses a data transfer node (dtn01), but you can use any machine which you can access that can access the Community file system.

USING SSHPROXY¶ The sshproxy client, without any arguments, will use your local username, and obtain an ssh key with the default lifetime (24 hours). The private and public key will have the names nersc and nersc-cert.pub, and will be stored in your ~/.ssh directory.

Run the sshproxy.sh script from where you installed it. The script will prompt you to enter your password and OTP, in the same manner as you would do to ssh to a NERSC system with MFA:

$ ./sshproxy.sh -u <nersc_username>

Enter your password+OTP: Enter your NERSC password immediately followed by OTP as a single string, as before. Upon successfully authenticating, the client will install an ssh key and display a message showing the path to the key pair installed on your local computer and the expiration date and time for the keys. By default, the name of the files will be ~/.ssh/nersc and ~/.ssh/nersc-cert.pub (you can change the name with a command-line argument).

Loading the Container

Quick Start

Labeling Logic

ArrakisND works in the same spirit as Arrakis, which is the LArSoft version of this software.

Feature	Type	Description
x	float	position of a charge signal along the x direction
y	float	position of a charge signal along the y direction
z	float	position of a charge signal along the z direction
Q	float	value of the reconstructed charge signal

The second stage consists of a set of functions, each of which processes different particles and their detector output. The labeling scheme currently consists of assigning seven different labels to each reconstructed charge/light point in the TPC. The seven labels are shown in the following tables:

High-level features	Description
topology	topological descriptor of physics (e.g. blip, track, shower)
particle	the pdg code of the particle which caused the energy deposition
physics_micro	low-level descriptor of physics processes (e.g. mip_ionization, gamma_conversion, etc.)
physics_meso	mid-level descriptor of physics processes (e.g. hip, delta_electron, capture_gamma, etc.)
physics_macro	high-level descriptor of physics processes (e.g. cc_qe, neutron_capture, radiological, etc.)
unique_topology	unique identifier of individual topology instances
unique_particle	unique identifier of individual particle instances (i.e. track id)
unique_physics_*	unique identifier of individual physics instances

For information on how each of these labels is assigned to each reconstructed point, see the documentation for BLIP which can be found at
