Gleam User Guide: MC Root
All Gleam output is in ROOT format. To read and analyze these files you will need to use an application capable of reading in ROOT files. The easiest path is to use the ROOT analysis environment. For more general information about ROOT and how we use it in GLAST, please see the GLAST ROOT home page: http://www-glast.slac.stanford.edu/software/root
To read this Monte Carlo files, you need to use ROOT. You must use ROOT version >= 3.02.07. It is recommended that you use 3.02.07.
The Mc tree has one branch, McEvent. All of the Monte Carlo data is contained within this single branch.
