CALICE software

CALICE software documentation

This page and the links should help you using the CALICE software package for HCAL studies in FLC group at DESY.

If any documentation for calice software is missing here, please send an email to Shaojun Lu. The required documentation will be created, or a link will be provided here.

Computing at FLC and DESY

You may need some computing resouce access permit. The following information will help you to prepare your personal account, certificate, and storage space.

• Computing at FLC and DESY
• GRID certificate and Virtual Organisation (VO)
• National Analysis Facility (NAF)

Wiki documentation

Figure 1: A hadronic shower in the CALICE detectors.

We have a CALICE Wiki, and a FLC Wiki. They offer help on many other useful information.

A more general overview of the CALICE software is given on the CALICE Wiki pages.

It is a wiki, so everybody working on HCAL simulation, digitization, or reconstruction is welcome to contribute.
