How to use this page

This page presents the final status of the obsolete first pass of the NOvA first analysis production.

First analysis processing was started after the April 2015 collaboration meeting. However early on a bug in calibrator was spotted which meant that all reconstruction files had to be remade. This page represents a snapshot of the status of production after that was discovered but before files started to be remade. This page is preserved for posterity. The current first analysis page can be found here.

These datasets were not completed so do not represent a complete set of data, Monte Carlo or data-tiers.

Older datasets can be found on the archives page. That page describes all of the official datasets produced since October 2014 that are not part of the first analysis.

All datasets should be used in conjunction with knowledge of the software release that was used to make them. This information is available here. The old redmine based version of this page can be viewed here, however this page is out of date and is not being maintained.

Sample Sub-sample sim/raw2root pclist reco PID LEM CAF Notes
FD data NuMI n/a Raw2root complete, reconstruction has begun.
Cosmics n/a Complete. The calibration files have been produced in the release S15-02-09, based off of artdaq files processed with an older release than used for the NuMI files above: S14-08-19. A subset of pre-shutdown files have also been processed including only subruns 0 to 10, these files were produced based on artdaq files produced in a mix of releases.
FD beam MC Real runs n/a Generation, reco and LEM are complete. Limited CAFing is ongoing. This sample is ready for CAF when the numue, qepid and cosrej tunings are finalised.
FD cosmic MC Real runs (pre-shutdown) n/a Complete. The calibration files have been produced in the release S15-02-09.
Full 14DB detector n/a Complete. The calibration files have been produced in the release S15-02-09.

ND data NuMI n/a Raw2root complete, reconstruction, PID and LEM are onging.
Cosmics n/a Complete. The calibration files have been produced in the release S15-03-20, based off of artdaq files processed with an older release than used for the NuMI files above: FA14-10-03.
ND beam MC Real runs n/a Generation of samples is ongoing. A small sub sample is also being processed through reco, PID and LEM now.
ND cosmic MC "Ideal" detector n/a Complete. The calibration files have been produced in the release S15-03-20, based off of artdaq files processed with an older release than used for the NuMI files above: FA14-10-03.

Sample Sub-sample sim/raw2root pclist reco PID LEM CAF Notes
ND NuMI data Alternative geometry n/a Raw2root complete, reconstruction has begun. This sample consists of the same data as the core ND NuMI data sample. However this sample has been reconstructed with a more modern geometry file which is based off of the most recent survey data.
ND cosmic MC Modern simulation n/a This ND cosmic sample has been simulated in the same release as the core analysis files provided for first analysis FA14-10-03x.a. This is unlike the ND cosmic files used for the computation of calibration constants described in the ND cosmics page , which were simulated in FA14-10-03 as were all the calibration samples.

Projections of the resources required to produce these samples are shown here. These are based off of information accrued during the production tests along with some information entered by hand due to missing or incomplete test results.
