CMS Physics Analysis at UW-HEP#

1. Register for a CERN account.
2. Get a hep.wisc.edu Account on Wisconsin computers
3. Request a Grid Certificate
4. Register with the CMS Virtual Organization (requires CERN registration to be completed)

5. CMSSW Offline Analysis WorkBook (some work can be done after getting hep.wisc.edu account but grid certificate is needed for using storage services)#

   • Command Cheat Sheet
   • Analysis using CMS Software
     • Local access to UW-Madison Tier-2 Resources.
     • Condor is also available for users submitting jobs directly on Wisconsin Tier-2 machines.

6. FAQ#

Request datasets for Wisconsin via Rucio#

Instructions for Rucio are on the CMS Rucio twiki page.#

It is rare to need a dataset resident on the Wisconsin cluster. Thanks to the AAA/XRootD service, datasets across the CMS grid are accessible to jobs running at Wisconsin. Almost the only time to request a dataset is when it is not on disk anywhere. Before requesting a dataset, be sure to check DAS to find out the status and locations of the dataset. If the dataset is not currently available on disk somewhere, then you can follow the Rucio instructions above to create a rule (subscription) for that dataset at Wisconsin.#
