A new LCIO-based data format called mini-DST has been developed, which combines Particle Flow Object (PFO) and event-level information, including the output of the most important high-level reconstruction algorithms. Originally triggered by Snowmass 2021 studies, the mini-DST is useful for beginners as a starting point of an analysis. In this note, we discuss the basics and contents of the mini-DST, how to create the mini-DST file from fully simulated MC samples, and the limitations of mini-DST.

Almost all groups involved in linear collider detector studies have their own simulation software framework. Using a common persistency scheme would allow to easily share results and compare reconstruction algorithms. We present such a persistency framework, called LCIO (Linear Collider I/O). The framework has to fulfill the requirements of the different groups today and be flexible enough to be adapted to future needs. To that end we define an `abstract object persistency layer that will be used by the applications. A first implementation, based on a sequential file format (SIO) is completely separated from the interface, thus allowing to support additional formats if necessary. The interface is defined with the AID (Abstract Interface Definition) tool from freehep.org that allows creation of Java and C++ code synchronously. In order to make use of legacy software a Fortran interface is also provided. We present the design and implementation of LCIO.
GELATIO is a new software framework for advanced data analysis and digital signal processing developed for the GERDA neutrinoless double beta decay experiment. The framework is tailored to handle the full analysis flow of signals recorded by high purity Ge detectors and photo-multipliers from the veto counters. It is designed to support a multi-channel modular and flexible analysis, widely customizable by the user either via human-readable initialization files or via a graphical interface. The framework organizes the data into a multi-level structure, from the raw data up to the condensed analysis parameters, and includes tools and utilities to handle the data stream between the different levels. GELATIO is implemented in C++. It relies upon ROOT and its extension TAM, which provides compatibility with PROOF, enabling the software to run in parallel on clusters of computers or many-core machines. It was tested on different platforms and benchmarked in several GERDA-related applications. A stable version is presently available for the GERDA Collaboration and it is used to provide the reference analysis of the experiment data.
A selection of unfolding methods commonly used in High Energy Physics is compared. The methods discussed here are: bin-by-bin correction factors, matrix inversion, template fit, Tikhonov regularisation and two examples of iterative methods. Two procedures to choose the strength of the regularisation are tested, namely the L-curve scan and a scan of global correlation coefficients. The advantages and disadvantages of the unfolding methods and choices of the regularisation strength are discussed using a toy example.
We present a procedure for reconstructing particle cascades from event data measured in a high energy physics experiment. For evaluating the hypothesis of a specific physics process causing the observed data, all possible reconstructi
We consider whether the asymptotic distributions for the log-likelihood ratio test statistic are expected to be Gaussian or chi-squared. Two straightforward examples provide insight on the difference.
