NanoAOD Skimmer

This project contains scripts to run a NanoAOD skimmer using HTCondor. The skimmer selects events based on specific criteria and produces output files with the selected events.

Requirements

• CMSSW environment (tested with CMSSW_14_1_4)
• HTCondor

Setup

1. Ensure you have a CMSSW environment set up. If not, set it up using the following commands:

   export SCRAM_ARCH=slc7_amd64_gcc820
   cmsrel CMSSW_14_1_4
   cd CMSSW_14_1_4/src
   cmsenv

Running the Skimmer

To run the skimmer, use the runSkimmer.sh script. This script will create a tarball of the skimming code, generate a list of files from the specified datasets, and submit jobs to HTCondor.

Usage

./runSkimmer <name-of-dataset>

<input_datasets>: Comma-separated list of input datasets.
