Including a dataset to the CAP entry

One of the first things someone accessing your preserved analysis will want to know, is which dataset you used when perfoming your analysis. Let’s check, how we can provide this information!

First, from the navigation menu on the left side, pick Input Data section. You can see that there are three different types of datasets that you can provide. All of those are integrated with Data Aggregation System (DAS) in order to provide a quick search and validation functionality. Let’s try to add some.

1. Pick Primary Datasets for real data dataset.
   • Add Item
   • Start typing in path field to check autosuggestions

     /SingleMu/Run2012A
     

   • Try quick search in path field

     /Commissioning/Run2010*/*
     

   • Pick

      /Commissioning/Run2010B-Apr21ReReco-v1/AOD
     

   • Now add a trigger for your dataset (Triggers +). Triggers will be validated against your dataset path and year. Start typing in trigger field to check autosuggestions

     HLT
     

1. Pick Monte Carlo Signal Datasets to include some dataset simulation on the signal model your are using in your analysis. Start typing to check quick search/autocompletion features.

2. Pick Monte Carlo Background Datasts to include some dataset simulation on the background you are using in your analysis. Start typing to check quick search/autocompletion features.

Importing datasets from a clipboard

In case you already have a full list of used datasets, you can simply copy-paste them in the form. Just click on import from clipobard, that can be found on header of each datasets section.

Exporting the datasets as a Latex file

Now that you have your dataset paths stored, you may need to export them to include them in a paper or just to share it with some collaborators. For doing so, the CAP system has a Latex exporter that will generate an exportable LaTeX dataset table. Simply click on export to Latex that can be found on header of each datasets section.

Key Points

• Datasets can be easily found and included in your CAP entry thanks to the dataset name suggestion system

• The dataset names are checked against the Data Aggregation System (DAS)
