What is BaBar Software

Chapter 22
Handbook of Research on Grid Technologies and Utility Computing: Concepts for Managing Large-Scale Applications
BaBar software is organized in terms of packages. A package is a self-contained piece of software intended to perform a well defined task. Some packages may not be usable on their own, requiring integration with others. A software release consists of a coherent set of packages together with the libraries and binaries created for various machine architectures.

Abstract
The BaBar experiment uses data since 1999 in examining the violation of charge and parity (CP) symmetry in the field of high energy physics. This event simulation experiment is a compute intensive task due to the complexity of the Monte-Carlo simulation implemented on the GEANT engine. Data needed as input for the simulation (stored in the ROOT format), are classified into two categories: conditions data for describing the detector status when data are recorded, and background triggers data for noise signal necessary to obtain a realistic simulation. In this chapter, the grid approach is applied to the BaBar production framework using the INFN-GRID network.
