calypso

Calypso is the FASER offline software system, based on the ATLAS Athena and LHCb GAUDI frameworks

Start by creating a personal fork of https://gitlab.cern.ch/faser/calypso.git (using the gitlab web interface)

Then the following sequence will allow you to compile and run Calypso on any machine with cvmfs access.

#clone the (forked) project to your local machine
git clone --recursive https://:@gitlab.cern.ch:8443/$USERNAME/calypso.git 

#The next three lines are used to setup the ATLAS release environment
export ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE=/cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/ATLASLocalRootBase 
source ${ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE}/user/atlasLocalSetup.sh
asetup --input=calypso/asetup.faser Athena,22.0.49

#create build directory
mkdir build
cd build

#build calypso
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../run ../calypso ; make ; make install

Before running anything, it is MANDATORY to do:

cd ../run
source ./setup.sh

Don't omit the dot in the source ./setup.sh command!

It can be convenient to alias the command "asetup --input=calypso/asetup.faser" to something like "fsetup"

Lxplus/afs setup

If afs is used to host and run calypso, the user should do so with an afs workspace.

Instructions for setting up a workspace can be found here: https://resources.web.cern.ch/resources/Help/?kbid=067040

When compiling, CERN IT recommends using condor to submit batch jobs. The basics of running condor are found here: https://batchdocs.web.cern.ch/local/quick.html

Known issues:

• It is now essential to use the tags ConfigFlags.GeoModel.FaserVersion and ConfigFlags.IOVDb.GlobalTag in a consistent way. If nothing is specified the first option (baseline) should be chosen by default.

** ConfigFlags.GeoModel.FaserVersion = "FASER-01" and ConfigFlags.IOVDb.GlobalTag = OFLCOND-FASER-01 enables the baseline TI-12 detector (obsolete and no longer supported)

** ConfigFlags.GeoModel.FaserVersion = "FASER-02" and ConfigFlags.IOVDb.GlobalTag = OFLCOND-FASER-02 enables the interface tracker and repositioned Veto (obsolete and no longer supported)

** ConfigFlags.GeoModel.FaserVersion = "FASERNU-03" and ConfigFlags.IOVDb.GlobalTag = OFLCOND-FASER-02 enables the full FaserNu (IFT + emulsion) setup

** ConfigFlags.GeoModel.FaserVersion = "FASERNU-03" and ConfigFlags.IOVDb.GlobalTag = OFLCOND-FASER-03 enables the full FaserNu (IFT + emulsion) setup with updated (10Nov22) magnetic field map

** ConfigFlags.GeoModel.FaserVersion = "FASER-TB00" and ConfigFlags.IOVDb.GlobalTag = OFLCOND-FASER-TB00 enables the 2021 Test-beam setup.

• The command source /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/releases/LCG_101_ATLAS_6/sqlite/3320300/x86_64-centos7-gcc11-opt/sqlite-env.sh may be necessary to avoid errors when generating a database
