Project:
<p>Attached are instructions and scripts for carrying out a parameter space scan with ShelfMC, the simulation package for the ARIANNA detector.</p> <p>Because some of the plotted outputs looked like colored stripes and did not offer any insight into how effective volume changed with some variables, I made some changes to the simulation and plotting scripts so that different maximum, minimum, and increment values can be chosen for each variable. Now rather than having fixed, hard-coded values for all variables, the parameter space scan and plotting is more flexible for use with variable inputs.</p> <table align="center" cellspacing="1" style="border:1px solid #486090; width:98%"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="background-color:#486090">Quote:</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color:#FFFFB0"> <p>I am trying to write a script that will plot a 2d histogram of effective volume versus two of ShelfMC's parameters.</p> <p>The script prompts the user for which two parameters (out of five that we vary in our parameter space scan) to plot along the x- and y-axes, as well as what values to hold the other 3 parameters constant at. It then collects the necessary root files from simulation results, generates a plotting script, and runs the plotting script to produce a plot in pdf form.</p> <p>After many struggles I have the script written to the point where it functions, but the plots don't look right. Some plots look like they could be actual data (like Veff_A_I), and others just look flat-out wrong (like Veff_R_S).</p> <p>I have yet to pin down the cause of this, but hopefully will be able to sometime in the near future.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> Encoding: HTML ELCode plain Suppress Email notification
