The LHCb Sprucing and Analysis Productions
摘要
The LHCb detector underwent a comprehensive upgrade in preparation for the third data-taking run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), known as LHCb Upgrade I. With its increased data rate, Run 3 introduced considerable challenges in both data acquisition (online) and data processing and analysis (offline). The offline processing and analysis model was upgraded to handle the factor 30 increase in data volume and the associated demands of ever-growing datasets for analysis, led by the LHCb Data Processing and Analysis (DPA) project. This paper documents the LHCb “Sprucing" — the centralised offline data processing and selections — and “Analysis Productions" — the centralised and highly automated declarative nTuple production system. The DaVinci application used by analysis productions for tupling spruced data is described as well as the
