Hall C HowTo and Tutorials for the Polarized He-3 Experiments
Software environment for offline analysis
Important locations for the experiment are:
# For analysis programs etc. This directory is backed up
/group/c-polhe3
# For your large root files. This directory is not backed up.
/volatile/hallc/c-polhe3
# Git group for the Polarized Helium-3 experiments
https://eicweb.phy.anl.gov/jlab/hallc/exp/polhe3
# See also the entire main jlab git repository for supporting software,
# such as the Hall C analyzer, and the underlying container
https://eicweb.phy.anl.gov/jlabThe main software for the experiment is located within a singularity container.
In order to setup your environment to use the official software,
we strongly recommend you use bash as your main shell.
To setup bash as your main shell, do the following:
grep bash ~/.login > /dev/null || echo "exec bash" >> ~/.loginNow logout of the ifarm, and login again. You should be good to go!
To Properly load the Pol He3 software, do:
source /group/c-polhe3/software/setup.shNote: if you feel strongly attached to a different shell, the bash instructions also apply to zsh, and most relevant scripts are also available in a csh version.
We recommend new users to follow above instructions and setup your system around bash, which is the current standard for Linux and MacOS.
