Welcome to DaVinci’s documentation!

DaVinci is the LHCb offline analysis application. It allows the users to produce the tuples in which the relevant information of the reconstructed particles of the decay of interest are stored. Consider it as your way to access LHCb data!

The main purpose of DaVinci is tupling. You can use it in Analysis Productions, for submitting your own productions with Ganga, or for running small jobs on cvmfs systems, like lxplus at CERN.

Nevertheless, since it gives you access to more detailed information about the reconstructed particles, DaVinci also allows to perform more detailed studies on the Sprucing or Turbo output.

This site documents the various aspects of DaVinci, which is fundamentally a group of Python packages that configure algorithms, tools, data flow, and control flow in order to run a Gaudi-based application that has full access to Sprucing and Turbo output.
