Using Recoil Information 101

Page maintainer: Sergey and Andreas

Important note: This page has not yet been reviewed by Sasha B.! Use the information below with caution. Other pages that have not been reviewed yet can be found in the category FORREVIEW.

This page is intended for analyzers with running/working uDST analysis codes who want to use information from the recoil detector in addition.

Disclaimer: The following assumes that your running code is based on the c version of Hanna and you want to use the 07c1 or younger uDST productions.

Getting Ready

The recoil detector required the addition of several new tables in the uDST files. It is therefore also required to run your makeddl script over the corresponding ddl file in order to regenerate the CREOBJ.c and INITAP.c files as well as the header files. It is NOT enough to just copy header files from somewhere else.

You will also have to increase the size of the TAP by adjusting your makeddl script. Please replace the line starting with

for/set initap INITAP:

by

for/set initap INITAP:10000000
