Useful scripts and helpers

The following code fragments are meant as examples. All scripts offer meaningfull help via -h/--help (or sometimes without arguments).

Kappa file helpers

• Print electron MVAs in Kappa skim: availableKappaElectronMvaIds.py <Kappa file(s)>

• Print HLT triggers in Kappa skim: availableKappaHltTriggers.py <Kappa file(s)>

• Print jet taggers in Kappa skim: availableKappaJetTaggers.py <Kappa file(s)>

• Print tau discriminators in Kappa skim: availableKappaTauDiscriminators.py <Kappa file(s)>

• Print user info in Kappa skim: availableKappaUserInfo.py <Kappa file(s)>

• Find Kappa skim containing certain events: findKappaFiles.py -h

• Remove empty fileslists: deleteEmptyFilelists.sh

• Inspect triggers in Kappa files:

  HiggsToTauTauAnalysis.py --use-json -c HiggsAnalysis/KITHiggsToTauTau/data/ArtusConfigs/HltFilterCheck.json -i ... [-f ... -e ...]

General ROOT file helpers

• Compare ROOT files recursively: compareRootFiles.py -h
• Print content of ROOT files recursively: get_root_file_content.py -h
• Get binning of ROOT histograms: get_binning.py -h
• Create friend trees with additional branches containing constant values: annotate-trees.py -h

JSON tools

Manipulation of all sorts of JSON configurations can be done using the Artus wrapper:

HiggsToTauTauAnalysis.py -P --no-run ...

• Print JSON configs: jsonTools.py <JSON configs>
• Compare JSON configs: artusConfigDiff.py -h

Keeping your home clean

call k4dirstat in terminal to study your Aachen PCs. You can always use a certain PC's hard drive instead of backupped afs home directory : mkdir /user/<your name>
