Running libNEST

If you would like to produce S1 or S2 data from energy depositions you can run libNEST. This will walk through how to do this in python in the context of LZ.

Before running libNEST read through the tutorial found here: fastNEST Tutorial also browse the git-lab: https://lz-git.ua.edu/sim/fastNEST

libNEST startup procedure

The following lines need to be run before starting libNEST. They can be added to your ~/.bashrc file in order to be run automatically when you ssh.

source /cvmfs/lz.opensciencegrid.org/fastNEST/release-#.#.#/libNEST/thislibNEST.sh

export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:/cvmfs/lz.opensciencegrid.org/fastNEST/release-#.#.#/libNEST 

The first line sets up libNEST to be run on your system and the second allows python to import the libNEST module (it would not be necessary if using root instead of python).
