This page concerns the new version of libsbsdig which is currently being developped. The documentation for the old version of libsbsdig has been saved at:

h2. Overview
9
10 41 Eric Fuchey
This page is maintained by the UConn group (Eric Fuchey + Andrew Puckett) and as of February 14, 2020 is specific to the *sbsdig_lw* branch of libsbsdig on github.
11 1 Eric Fuchey
12
h2. Purpose
13
14 52 Eric Fuchey
This page documents the libsbsdig code, which purpose is to process the Monte Carlo simulations of the SBS experiments produced by G4SBS [https://hallaweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Documentation_of_g4sbs] to produce ADCs or TDCs.
15 37 Eric Fuchey
It is a standalone program which can run with a limited number of outputs (see section on usage).
16 52 Eric Fuchey
These produce files which can be analyzed with SBS-offline [https://hallaweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Documentation_of_SBS-offline].

20
h3. Prerequisites
21
22 54 Eric Fuchey
* Working ROOT [https://root.cern.ch/drupal/] installation. ROOT 6 is strongly recommended.
23
* Working G4SBS [https://hallaweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Documentation_of_g4sbs] installation.

25
h3. Downloading the repository
26
27
The code is hosted on a github repository owned by JLab. To clone via ssh (preferred method on JLab batch farm), do: 
28 5 Eric Fuchey
29 1 Eric Fuchey
bq. git clone git@github.com:JeffersonLab/libsbsdig.git
30
31
For this method to work, the ssh public key on the machine where you want to get the code must be added to your github account (see [https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/ Guide] to generating ssh keys and adding to your github.com account.)
32
33 51 Eric Fuchey
Cloning the repository defaults to the "master" branch. _As of August, 18th, 2020, the master branch still contains the old version of the code_.
34 72 Eric Fuchey
*Beware that the current version of libsbsdig is not on the "master" branch, but on the "sbsdig_lw".*
35 71 Eric Fuchey
36
To obtain the new version of the code currently being developped on the "sbsdig_lw" branch, do:
37 36 Eric Fuchey
38
bq. git checkout sbsdig_lw

h3. Building and installing the library
41
42 92 Eric Fuchey
Create a "build" directory that is parallel to the "libsbsdig" source directory (this is not strictly required, but the build directory must be separate from the "libsbsdig" directory in any case). 
43 2 Eric Fuchey
You also need to have setup an installation path e.g. /path/to/libsbsdig-install
44 93 Eric Fuchey
For instance, you can create it parallel to your libsbsdig directory (with the mkdir command), even though it is not strictly required
45
46 2 Eric Fuchey
*NB*: similarly to the build directory, the /path/to/libsbsdig-install directory shall '''not''' be the same as the source directory!
47
_The following instructions assume that "build" is parallel to "libsbsdig":_
48 9 Eric Fuchey
If successful, the libsbsdig library and several other files and folders will be created in the "build" and the "install" directory.
49 1 Eric Fuchey
50 2 Eric Fuchey
To build and install, the procedure needs to be completed. From scratch:
51
52
bq. mkdir build
53
cd build
54
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/libsbsdig-install ../libsbsdig
55
make install
56 1 Eric Fuchey
57 3 Eric Fuchey
Then, the following line should be added in the OS login configuration file to take advantage of this functionality:
58 91 Eric Fuchey
* source /path/to/libsbsdig-install/bin/sbsdigenv.sh (or source /path/to/libsbsdig-install/bin/sbsdigenv.csh on the batch farm)

h2. How to use the digitization library
61 1 Eric Fuchey
62 37 Eric Fuchey
When sbsdig is installed in your machine, you can run the program using up to 4 arguments:
63 1 Eric Fuchey
64 78 Eric Fuchey
bq. sbsdig db_gmn_conf.dat gmn13.5_elastic_ex.txt 100000 gmn13.5_beambkgdhistos.root 1.0
65 33 Eric Fuchey
66 1 Eric Fuchey
These arguments have to come in this sequence, and while not all arguments are mandatory to provide, one cannot skip an argument unless they want to skip all following arguments.
67 78 Eric Fuchey
*The first argument is a database containing the list of detectors to digitize, and the parameters for the digitization. An example of such parameters is attached (db_gmn_conf.dat)
68
*The second argument is a list of "signal" files to digitize. It is mandatory to provide. An example is provided in the files attached.
69 77 Eric Fuchey
This file contains a list of input files for the program to run on. Hence, it has to contain g4sbs files that you have permission to modify. In the example file sbsdig gmn13.5_elastic_ex.txt attached, you may want to 
70 78 Eric Fuchey
*The third argument is the number of process. It has a default value of "-1" (=2^64-1) so it can be left unprovided, unless one wants to provide argument 3 and 4.
71
*The fourth argument is a files containing the background histograms extracted from min-bias beam-on-target simulations Beware these histograms have to have a certain name. An example file and macros are attached
72 73 Eric Fuchey
It can be ignored if one seeks to digitize signal with no background. An example is provided in the files attached.
73 78 Eric Fuchey
*The fifth argument is the fraction of luminosity with respect to the experiment nominal luminosity, which determines the quantity of background to add to the signal. It's default value is zero, so it can be ignored if one seeks to digitize signal with no background.

The new digitization library will expand the TTree object from the input file to add ADC and TDC values.
125 55 Eric Fuchey
The input tree structure from G4SBS has already been described in detail in the G4SBS documentation [https://hallaweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Documentation_of_g4sbs#ROOT_Tree_Structure].
126 56 Eric Fuchey
The basic idea is that for each detector in the input tree, a set of branches will be added.
127
128
There are several types of detectors in G4SBS (GEM, CAL, RICH), but there is not always a defined extension for a G4SBS detector type.
129
(NB: I'm voluntarilly omitting ECAL, 
130
For the purpose of the digitization, it is more convenient to define the following types of detectors:
131
* GEM: GEM trackers. Corresponds unambiguously to GEM detector type in G4SBS. Read out by MPD (sampling ADC) modules.
132
* Cher: Cherenkov detectors (example: GRINCH). Corresponds unambiguously to RICH detector type in G4SBS. Read out by TDC modules (with optional ADCs).
133
* Scint: Scintillator timing detectors (example: Timing Hodoscope). Corresponds to CAL detector type in G4SBS. Read out by TDC modules (with optional ADCs).
134
* Cal: Calorimeter (example: BBPS, BBSH). Corresponds to CAL detector type in G4SBS. Read out by ADC modules.
135
* HCal: Hadron Calorimeter. Corresponds to CAL detector type in G4SBS. Read out by FADC (sampling ADC) modules with TDCs.
