Original MCEG files on ifarm: /volatile/eic/romanov/meson-structure-2025-08/eg-orig-kaon-lambda
(last update of August 2025)

File names:

File names are:

# The pattern:
k_lambda_{beam}_5000evt_{idx}.{ext}

# e.g.
k_lambda_10x100_5000evt_045.edm4eic.root

Where:

• {beam} Beam energy configuration [5x41, 10x100, 18x275]
• {idx} - zero padded index [001-200]
• {ext}
  • *.info.yaml - Input and processing metadata
  • *.afterburner.hepmc - Beam effects afterburner output
  • *.afterburner.hist.root - Afterburner before-after histograms
  • *.edm4hep.root - DD4Hep (Genat4) output
  • *.edm4eic.root - EICRecon reconstructed files
  • *.mcdis.csv - MC DIS CSV table
  • *.mcpart_lambda.csv - MCParticles based CSV table full lambda decay values

5000evt indicate each file has 5k events

Accessing Data with XRootD

The data is available remoutly through XRootD via:

root://dtn-eic.jlab.org

To browse the available files one can use xrdfs command:

xrdfs root://dtn-eic.jlab.org
ls /volatile/eic/romanov/meson-structure-2025-08/reco

To download files:

xrdcp root://dtn-eic.jlab.org//volatile/eic/romanov/meson-structure-2025-08/reco/5x41-priority/k_lambda_5x41_5000evt_001.edm4eic.root ./

To use directly in scripts:

# Both uproot and pyroot can work with links directly 
# if XRootD is installed in the system
import uproot
file = uproot.open("root://dtn-eic.jlab.org//volatile/eic/romanov/meson-structure-2025-08/reco/5x41-priority/k_lambda_5x41_5000evt_001.edm4eic.root")
