Returns the bunch pattern for a given LHC fill for use in offline analyses.
This is done through the main script, lhcFillScheme.py, which downloads a LHC fill scheme file and processes it, returning a txt file with the bunch pattern.
usage: lhcFillScheme.py [-h] [-i INDIR] [-o OUTDIR] fills
Downloads and analyzes a fill scheme
positional arguments:
fills Fill scheme number(s). Accepts comma-separated list, e.g. 5501,5502,etc
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i INDIR, --indir INDIR
Directory to save the fill schemes to (default: fillschemes/)
-o OUTDIR, --outdir OUTDIR
Directory to save the analyzed output to (default: bunchpatterns/)
Included are definitions for a Fill class that can be used to read in the bunchpattern files for both C++ and python. Each instance of Fill contains a set of vectors that holds the bunch crossing numbers for each type of bunch crossing:
All BXs = all colliding bunch crossings
Isolated BXs = all isolated bunch crossings
First BXs = the first bunch crossing of a train
Last BXs = the last bunch crossing of a train
Middle BXs = the bunch crossings in a train that are neither the first nor the last bunch crossing
Empty BXs = all non-colliding bunch crossings
The C++ Fill class files are src/Fill.cpp and inc/Fill.hpp.
