Software Analysis Workflow CMS CERN-LHC
This is an example of the C++ code (and its configuration in Python) needed to extract the trigger information from CMS Open/Legacy data. These instructions are valid to work with 2011 and 2012 data. Snippets of this software can be used for physics analysis.
The examples, within the code, have plenty of in-line comments to make it more understandable and to point potential users to the original information sources. It has been put together compiling the most important pieces of already-available CMSSW software.
If downloading the files at the bottom, please always use the latest version as the older ones are deprecated.
Use this with any CMS 2011 or 2012 primary dataset and/or Monte Carlo datasets.
If you do not have the CERN Virtual Machine for 2011/2012 CMS data installed, follow the instructions in step 1 at How to install a CERN Virtual Machine. Or, alternatively, install the corresponding Docker container.
To run the analysis, follow the instructions at https://github.com/cms-opendata-analyses/TriggerInfoTool/tree/2011.
