The FairRoot framework is an object oriented simulation, reconstruction and data analysis framework. It includes core services for detector simulation and offline analysis of article physics data. FairRoot is the standard simulation, reconstruction and data analysis framework for the FAIR experiments at GSI Darmstadt . The framework enable the users to design and/or construct their detectors and /or analysis tasks in a simple way, it also delivers some general functionality like track visualization.
The basic idea of FairRoot is to provide a unified package with generic mechanisms to deal with most commonly used tasks in HEP. FairRoot allow the physicist to:
- Focus on physics deliverables while reusing pre-tested software components.
- Do not submerge into low-level details, use pre-built and well-tested code for common tasks.
- Allows physicists to concentrate on detector performance details, avoiding purely software
engineering issues like storage, retrieval, code organization etc.
