Mysql Data-Base Applications for Dst-Like Physics Analysis
Abstract
The data and analysis model developed and being used in the HARP experiment for studying hadron production at CERN Proton Synchrotron is discussed. Emphasis is put on usage of data-base (DB) back-ends for persistent storing and retrieving "alive" C++ objects encapsulating raw and reconstructed data. Concepts of "Data Summary Tape" (DST) as a logical collection of DB-persistent data of different types, and of "intermediate DST" (iDST) as a physical "tag" of DST, are introduced. iDST level of persistency allows a powerful, DST-level of analysis to be performed by applications running on an isolated machine (even laptop) with no connection to the experiment's main data storage. Implementation of these concepts is considered.
