Hints on getting started on analysis for new D0 members

Making an Ntuple with commonly used information

In order to make it easier for new members to D0 to do Run I analyses, we have here an example of how to make an Ntuple off the Run I data. This Ntuple maker was created by the WZ group. The instructions on how to use the Ntuple maker to make ntuples are here. Documentation on the contents of the ntuple in postscript format is found here.

If you only want to access data taken on specific triggers, you'll probably want to use D0dad. Documentation on D0dad can be found here. An undocumented feature of D0dad can be found here.

Making Monte Carlo Samples

You'll want to do this in two steps. First, make an ISAJET sample, then process it through showerlib, musmear, trigsim, cal_overlap, etc.

For instructions on ISAJET, click here. For instructions on SHOWERLIB, click here.
