Science Analysis

In the Cookbook you have seen that in order to run the Scientific Analysis you should just launch the main script ibis_science_analysis with a desired set of parameters. As discussed in the Overview (Section 5) the main script consists of smaller scripts, which in turn unify executables with similar tasks for different types of events (see Figure 27). In this chapter we describe these small scripts in more detail in order to explain how the main script works and which parameters you have to enter for a proper analysis.

While describing the executables we describe those parameters which were included into the main script. You find in the Appendix the detailed description of the results produced at each step. In the Appendix you also find the description of raw and prepared data with which you start the analysis.
