Tools to use the existing model for the external background

External background Model F, developed by Victor Tretyak, is implemented within rootana. First, the file with component activities utils/ana10/exbg_modelf/exbg_modelf.p1.dat should be copied to the current analysis directory (ana2sc/ana in our case) as exbg_modelf.dat. Then a control file should contain the following part:

slim/slim_exbg4_bi214.root	biex4		0           	0 B
slim/slim_exbg4_tl208.root	tlex4		0          	0 B
slim/slim_exbg4_ac228.root	acex4		0          	0 B
slim/slim_exbg2_bi214.root	biex2 		0   	   	0 B
slim/slim_exbg2_pb214.root	pbex2 		0         	0 B
slim/slim_exbg2_tl208.root	tlex2 		0        	0 B
slim/slim_exbg7_k40.root	kex7		0          	0 B
slim/slim_exbg7_bi214.root	biex7		0         	0 B
slim/slim_exbg7_tl208.root	tlex7		0         	0 B
slim/slim_exbg7_ac228.root	acex7		0         	0 B
slim/slim_exbg7_co60.root	coex7		0        	0 B
slim/slim_exbg7_pa234m.root	paex7		0          	0 B
slim/slim_exbg6_co60.root	coex6		0          	0 B
slim/slim_exbg17_co60.root	coex17		0          	0 B
slim/slim_exbg9_co60.root	coex9		0     		0 B
slim/slim_exbg8_co60.root	coex8		0         	0 B
slim/slim_exbg8_pa234m.root	paex8		0        	0 B
slim/slim_scin_k40.root		kscin		0      		0 B
slim/slim_sscin_bi210.root	bi210ss		0      		0 B
slim/slim_sscin_bi214.root	bi214ss		0       	0 B
slim/slim_sscin_pb214.root	pbss		0       	0 B
slim/slim_exbg11_ac228.root 	acpm 		0  		0 B
slim/slim_exbg11_bi212.root 	bi212pm 	0  		0 B
slim/slim_exbg11_tl208.root 	tlpm 		0   		0 B
slim/slim_exbg11_bi214.root 	bipm 		0  		0 B
slim/slim_exbg11_k40.root   	kpm  		0 		0 B

Note, that the activities are set to zero, telling rootana to use the ones from the data file. Please read carefully program output to the screen for the activities actually used for normalisation, and if they do come from the file.

Finally, one can use map of Bi214 and Bi210 distribution inside the NEMO3 detector, prepared by Vera Kovalenko. She has measured activity of individual wires in the tracking chamber. In order to use those, again, utils/ana10/sw_activities/swbi210_activities_p1_t0.dat need to be copied into swbi210_activities.dat and utils/ana10/sw_activities/swrn_activities_p1_t220.dat need to be copied into swrn_activities.dat. Corresponding part of the control file would look like:

slim/slim_swire_bi214.root		swbi214         0 		0 B8
slim/slim_swire_pb214.root		swpb214         0 		0 B8
slim/slim_swire_bi210.root		swbi210         0 		0 B8

For this map to work correctly, the TRUE MC information about true event vertex has to be saved into h10 (at least for these 3 components). Please check that following variables are in the ROOT tree of reconstructed files:

   Int_t           Nvntu;
   Float_t         Xvntu[7];   //[Nvntu]
   Float_t         Yvntu[7];   //[Nvntu]
   Float_t         Zvntu[7];   //[Nvntu]
   Float_t         Tofvntu[7]; //[Nvntu]
   Int_t           Ntntu;
   Float_t         Pxntu[31];  //[Ntntu]
   Float_t         Pyntu[31];  //[Ntntu]
   Float_t         Pzntu[31];  //[Ntntu]
   Float_t         Toftntu[31];//[Ntntu]
   UChar_t         Ivntu[31];  //[Ntntu]
   UChar_t         Ipntu[31];  //[Ntntu]

If not, nemor need to be recompiled in the way to save this data into h10 after reconstruction. Please see nemor.cra.ucl inside N3Nemos package for details.
