4. Analysis strategy Candidates produced in one go starting from the AOD (or ESD) and writing output to deltaAOD this is done in the Official AOD-creation train (which starts from ESDs) but can be done also in successive train that reads the already- produced AOD and re-creates only the deltaAOD file new functionality provided by Andrei, and tested Candidates analysed with trains that read AODs+deltaAOD output as histograms run very frequently (central AOD trains + invidual users)  very good Grid performance/stability since a few months –about 70M AOD events analyzed successfully, at least weekly ALICE Offline Week, CERN, 17.03.10 Andrea Dainese 4

5. Heavy-flavour vertexing: Analysis of candidates from AOD Input: AliAODs.root + AliAOD.VertexingHF.root “D2H” analysis train: Steering macro RunAnalysisAODVertexingHF.C Several wagons (TaskSE)  CompareHF (vertex resolutions)  D0 analysis  D+ analysis  Ds analysis  D* analysis  Like-sign bkg D0  D0 CORRFW task  D* CORRFW task  Prompt D0 fraction Can be switched on/off with single macro AddD2HTrain.C  used to attach D2H train to official train (Mihaela)  also enables reading MC info All tasks tested on pp data (except CORRFW...)

6. Examples from data analysis AODs+deltaAOD created from ESDs of data (pass4) and MCs (LHC10a8-PYTHIA, LHC10a14-PHOJET) using official train macro with AliPhysicsSelection (only selected events written to AOD file) D2H train run on these AODs.

7. Heavy-flavour vertexing: developments in progress Event mixing: code for D2H available in: $ALICE_ROOT/PWG3/vertexingHF based on AliAnalysisTaskME, interfaces to exactly the same code used for SE analysis AOD based analysis (both input and output)  mixes 2,3,4 events  computed average primary vertex and refers tracks to it  binning in all needed variables implemented tested locally: OK not yet running on the Grid Common PID utility goal: provide a common utility for performing PID on AOD, using ITS and TPC dE/dx and TOF possibility to use single-detector n-sigma cut PID or combined PID AliAODPIDHF (deriving from AliAODPid) in progress Now all needed info is present in the AOD Book-keeping of analysis cuts new class AliRDHFCuts to keep all cuts (event-level, track-level, vertex-level)  created in AddTask, passed to task, stored with output histos ALICE Offline Week, CERN, 17.03.10 Andrea Dainese 7

17. General PWG3-barrel Issues / Requirements Fixed schedule for trains or runs on demand? ESD monthly?  producing AODs and running analyses on ESDs and AODs AOD bi-weekly? Trains on real data (and data-taylored MCs) for 2009 data, we run privately (no AODs+deltas were produced) would be good to establish a regular schedule also for these  AODs+deltas shortly after data taken  statistics increases quickly with data AliPhysicsSelection (see also next talk):  applied on ESDs  only selected AODs  at the moment managed centrally by First Physics –who will take this job on the longer term?

18. General PWG3-barrel Issues / Requirements Analysis scalability: things work well now, for data and MC BUT: we analyze now at most ~7x10 7 events we will have to analyze 20 times more events (>10 9 ) x2 (data and MC)  never tested  not all PWGs have same high-stats requirement Productions: we join other PWGs in requesting a production of pp min-bias at 7 TeV to start soon plus our specific requests (7 TeV)  J/psi production (already in Monalisa)  charm forced production (approved by PB, to be entered in Monalisa) ALICE Offline Week, CERN, 17.03.10 Andrea Dainese 18
