FairRoot — Florian Uhlig and •Mohammad Al-Turany — GSI Darmstadt

FairRoot is a simulation, reconstruction and analysis framework developed at the GSI in Darmstadt for the upcoming FAIR experiments. Currently it is used by the CBM and Panda collaborations.

To achieve the flexibility to use different transport models (currently support for Geant3, Geant4 and Fluka) and different event generators (e.g. UrQMD, Pluto) FairRoot is based on Root and Virtual Monte Carlo. %to use already existing %and well tested software. The complete simulation/analysis process is steered using Root macros, which for example define the detector layout or the transport model. FairRoot uses the Root executable and loads during runtime all needed libraries for the simulation/analysis on the fly. FairRoot deliver also a generic event display based on ROOT and a generic track propagator based on the Geane code.

To provide Makefiles for many Linux flavors, Mac OS X and Solaris CMake is used to generate native Makefiles for the different platforms. To get a fast and comprehensive overview, the project is build on all of the supported platforms automatically on different clients. The produced results are send to a server for display.
