ZATools

Toolbox for resonant H->ZA analysis

Setup instructions

This repository consists of scripts interfacing the CommonTools and PlotIt facilities. It does not require any compilation, just follow this instructions below to setup everything.

First time only

We use Keras and Tensorflow for Neural Network training / evaluation, which is not available in CMSSW. When first installing this repository, you must register an already pre-built version of Keras and Tensorflow by executing the add_keras_to_cmssw.sh script at the root of the repository. Note: you must first be in a CMSSW environment by doing a cmsenv.

Everytime

cms_env
cmsenv

with, in the .bashrc,

alias cms_env="module purge; module load grid/grid_environment_sl6; module load crab/crab3; module load cms/cmssw;".

Produce TH1(2) out of ZAAnalyzer output

This step is done in histFactory_ZA. You need a python script to generate the plots (such as generatePlots.py based on basePlotter.py). The important is that this code defines a list called plots. To launch the TH1(2) production, use

python launchHistFactory.py -o OUTPUTFOLDER -s -r.

The -s option actually submit the jobs on condor, use it first without to check that there is no error with source OUTPUTFOLDER/condor/input/condor_1.sh. The -r option removes OUTPUTFOLDER if it exists. NB : to avoid risky command, it first prompts the command, you need to confirm by typing "enter".

Produce stacked plots with the output of histFactory

This step is done in plotIt_ZA. To launch the plots :

./plotIt.sh [SUFFIX]

will create a folder named plots_all_DATE_SUFFIX with all the stacked plots inside, SUFFIX being optional.

Here are the key files you have to modify :

centralConfig.yml : to specify the directory where the rootfiles are.

listHistos.py : you can modify the rootFile at the top and run python listHistos.py to generate the .yml file with axis labels, blinded range, etc.

MCFiles.yml and DataFiles.yml to specify the samples you want to run on. Usually you just need to replace the old tag by the new one (e.g. in vim :%s/v2.0.3+7415_ZAAnalysis_2016-01-30.v3/v2.0.4+7415_ZAAnalysis_2016-02-14.v0/).

groups.yml to specify the colors, the names and which samples should appear merged in the legend.
