Where to find data samples in the DØ computing systems.


Data samples for your personal development or analysis projects can be stored in one of two places on the central analysis system (DØMINO): project disk or tmp disk.  Project disk space is assigned by group leaders ;  tmp disk space is assigned by the  disk manager for your institution. Project and tmp space are *not* backed up automatically; you as the user must handle this yourself or verify that your group/institution is doing so.  Larger data samples are stored in the  ADIC robotic storage system and can be accessed via the  SAM data handling system.   Files you access via SAM will be cached on disk and not deleted until the space is absolutely required.   For looking at datasets already defined,  you can use either the
 'Browse the SAM metadata' page  or the  Dataset Definition Editor    to find a dataset of interest to you, or use the Dataset
Definition Editor link to make your own dataset.
