Introduction

TB Recon (also called "centella", ray of light in spanish) is a C++ program initialy developed by UCSC to reconstruct the data of the 1999/2000 GLAST test beam (Analysis page). The program reads the raw (low level) data, process it, and generates a midium/high level data. In the process some criteria selection could be applied. The reconstruction includes the tracker and the calorimeter reconstruction. The program also leaves space to the user to perform some analysis tasks. The structure of the program is such that could be used as a general reconstruction program for the test beam data, or as a user defined program to reconstruct some particular test beam data and perform specific analysis.

The program reads raw data stored in a root-tree (RootWriter page) and produces as output a file (or files) with histograms, ntuples and a root-tree with reconstructed data (this root-tree is planned to be another branch of the initial root-tree). The tracker reconstruction inherits, with minor modifications, from the GLASTsim tracker reconstruction.

Credits: The framework has been developed at UCSC. The input root-tree was developed at SLAC, and the output root-tree at GSFC and UCSC. The reconstruction for the tracker was developed at UCSC and the calorimeter code at Ecole de France, NRL and UCSC.
