What’s a “TAG” (in this talk) ATLAS “TAG” overload:
Not an acronym (retrospectively TAGs Are Great !) Not a CVS tag or a release tag or a project tag Not tracked by the ATLAS Tag Collector Not a COOL (Conditions Database) Tag Not a configTag Not a B, flavor, or muon tag
In this talk: ATLAS TAG application is A system supporting Event-level metadata
About 200 indexed variables for each event Stored in a ‘database’ (Oracle or file based)
1 kB/event -> 1 TB/year PURPOSE: Facilitates event selection for analysis

ATLAS TAGs in the ATLAS Computing model
Stages of ATLAS reconstruction RAW data file
ESD (Event Summary Data) ~ 500 kB/event AOD (Analysis Object Data) ~ 100 kB/event
TAG (not an acronym) ~ 1 kB/event TAGs
Produced in reconstruction Can be re-produced in re-processing Customized TAGs can be defined/produced TAG formats:
File based: AthenaAwareNtuple format (AANT)
Database: available globally through network connection Used by the TAG Browser (ELSSI)

“TAG content”: Your selection variables PAT (Physics Analysis Tools) group
supports ‘official’ TAG content based on input from physics groups (YOU !)
‘TAG Database’ Application includes ~200 variables/event:
Event identification (run, event, lumi block numbers, timestamp, …) Global quantities (e.g., missing eT) Trigger decisions at all three levels (now bit encoded) Numbers of electrons, muons, photons, taus, and jets
pT, eta, phi for highest-pT objects Detector status and quality words Physics and performance group status words
‘Run Metadata’ at Temporal, Fill, Run, Lumi-block levels references to AOD,ESD,RAW for back-navigation A variety of supporting tools and infrastructure
ELSSI is a web based supporting tool Helps you navigate through “TAG content“ Uses other supporting tools and infrastructure Retrieve results in a number of forms

ELSSI: TAG Browser Basics An interface to the TAG Database
Supported browsers: Firefox, Safari (not IE) Requires Grid Certificate
Allows pre-selection of events for analysis, guiding the user through the selection process

ELSSI: Implementation & Features
Running on server at CERN PHP and Javascript on backend
Features: Formulate multi-dimensional queries
At Run/LB and Event level Query caching Event counting Display Results (graphical and tabular form) Retrieve events in ROOT file Register collection in AMI

Summary
Metadata in a database is a powerful tool A great variety of dynamic selection criteria and
reporting become possible Development is ongoing to improve
Interfaces Functionality Usability
Integrate infrastructure tools

Working on … (1)
Incorporating Detector Status (DQ) Loading online Runs
Even in the absence of TAG production An ELSSI “skim” button (Skimming Service)
using GangaTNT: From your selected TAG events, generate an AOD
dataset with only those events Output registered as new dataset Runs GANGA on the server to run the job on behalf
of the user User proxy is delegated to the server Monitoring loop checks job status and notifies user
of job completion / failure Integrate GangaTNT into GangaGUI.

Working on … (2)
Using TAGs with PAthena: Steps create an event collection (events.root) with ELSSI setup Pathena and the Grid environment use a joboption like the one you'd use to run a local
analysis based on TAGs submit the Pathena job use Panda monitoring to check for completion use DQ2 enduser clients (dq2-get) to retrieve the
output files
Problem: AOD to AOD (copy) is problematic in some releases
