ZEUS data access

The ZEUS data is preserved in multiple copies. See the statistics in chapter ZEUS data format: Common Ntuples. In the beginning of 2016 the data is available from:
  • RZG storage element To access the data in this as in 1) 2) 3), a Grid certificate is needed. From the Grid certificate a Grid proxy should be created (see How to get and use Grid certificate for details) and copied to the machine from which the data will be accessed. To make aware the system about the proxy, the environment variable X509_USER_PROXY should be set:
    [zeus@mpp-dphep-CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1511 ~]$ export  X509_USER_PROXY=/path/to/the/proxy/file
    
    1. via dcap (from ANY machine worldwide, a valid grid proxy is needed), e.g.
      [someusername@pal42]/tmp% dccp -A -H  gsidcap://grid-srm.rzg.mpg.de:22128/pnfs/rzg.mpg.de/data/zeus/z/ntup/05/v08b/mc/ntp/zeusmc.hdsnr25.f17150.lfres.e2005.j.et3.08702.ntp.gz /tmp/test.ntp.gz

      You can also scp the files to another machine.
To access ZEUS data one should use one of the following options:
  • DESY ZEUS account to access the data in DESY. Contact the ZEUS spokesperson and later DESY IT to apply for it.
  • RZG account to access the data in RZG. Contact the ZEUS spokesperson and later RZG to apply for it.
  • Grid proxy and ZEUS VO membership to access the data worldwide. The details on the obtaining Grid certificate and ZEUS VO membership are given in chapter
    How to get and use Grid certificate.
