Parameterized source distributions

Open sethrj opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

For testing it would be good to have a little more complexity in our RNG-determined input that would allow us to have a reasonably realistic parameterized set of "primaries" that could come from a Geant4 problem. To do this we should:

  • Enable offload_output_file to ROOT and set up test beam inputs for HGCal, TileCal (and maybe ttbar inputs for full CMS?)
  • Save a GB or so of primaries from each case
  • Calculate some histograms for angle, particle type, energy, position (r/z?)
  • ???
  • Implement a new PrimaryGenerator that can sample from a relatively complex distribution
  • Use that distribution to sample primaries in our regression tests
