This software provides a set of Python classes to read KM3NeT ROOT files
without having ROOT, Jpp or aanet installed. It only depends on Python 3.5+ and the amazing `uproot <https://github.com/scikit-hep/uproot>`__ package and gives you access to the data via `numpy <https://www.numpy.org>`__ and `awkward <https://awkward-array.readthedocs.io>`__ arrays.
It's very easy to use and according to the `uproot <https://github.com/scikit-hep/uproot>`__ benchmarks, it is able to outperform the original ROOT I/O performance.
**Note:** Beware that this package is in the development phase, so the API will change until version ``1.0.0`` is released!
Installation
============
Install km3io using pip::
pip install km3io
**Reminder:** km3io is **not** dependent on aanet, ROOT or Jpp!

Most of km3net data is stored in root files. These root files are created using the `KM3NeT Dataformat library <https://git.km3net.de/common/km3net-dataformat>`__
A ROOT file created with
`Jpp <https://git.km3net.de/common/jpp>`__ is an "online" file and all other software usually produces "offline" files.
km3io is a Python package that provides a set of classes: ``OnlineReader``, ``OfflineReader`` and a special class to read gSeaGen files. All of these ROOT files can be read installing any other software like Jpp, aanet or ROOT.
Data in km3io is returned as ``awkward.Array`` which is an advance Numpy-like container type to store
contiguous data for high performance computations.
Such an ``awkward.Array`` supports any level of nested arrays and records which can have different lengths, in contrast to Numpy where everything has to be rectangular.
The example is shown below shows the array which contains the ``dir_z`` values
of each track of the first 4 events. The type ``4 * var * float64`` means that
it has 4 subarrays with variable lengths of type ``float64``:
>>> import km3io
>>> from km3net_testdata import data_path
>>> f = km3io.OfflineReader(data_path("offline/numucc.root"))
>>> f[:4].tracks.dir_z
<Array [[0.213, 0.213, ... 0.229, 0.323]] type='4 * var * float64'>
The same concept applies to all other branches, including ``hits``, ``mc_hits``,
In general an offline file has two attributes to access data: the header and the events. Let's start with the header.
To read an offline file start with opening it with the ``OfflineReader``:
>>> import km3io
>>> from km3net_testdata import data_path
>>> f = km3io.OfflineReader(data_path("offline/numucc.root"))

To read the values in the header one can call them directly, as the structures
are simple ``namedtuple``-like objects:
>>> f.header.DAQ.livetime
394
>>> f.header.cut_nu.Emin
100
>>> f.header.genvol.numberOfEvents
100000
Events are at the top level of an offline file, so that each branch of an event
is directly accessible at the ``OfflineReader`` instance. The ``.keys()`` method
can be used to list the available attributes. Notice that some of them are aliases
for backwards compatibility (like ``mc_tracks`` and ``mc_trks``). Another
backwards compatibility feature is the ``f.events`` attribute which is simply
mapping everything to ``f``, so that ``f.events.mc_tracks`` is the same as
``f.mc_tracks``.
>>> f
OfflineReader (10 events)
>>> f.keys()
{'comment', 'det_id', 'flags', 'frame_index', 'hits', 'id', 'index',
'mc_hits', 'mc_id', 'mc_run_id', 'mc_t', 'mc_tracks', 'mc_trks',
'n_hits', 'n_mc_hits', 'n_mc_tracks', 'n_mc_trks', 'n_tracks',
'n_trks', 'overlays', 'run_id', 't_ns', 't_sec', 'tracks',
'trigger_counter', 'trigger_mask', 'trks', 'usr', 'usr_names',
'w', 'w2list', 'w3list'}
>>> f.tracks
<Branch [10] path='trks'>
>>> f.events.tracks
<Branch [10] path='trks'>
The ``[10]`` denotes that there are ``10`` events available, each containing a sub-array of ``tracks``.
Using <TAB> completion gives an overview of available data. Alternatively the method `keys` can be used on events and it's data members containing a structure to see what is available for reading.
Reading the reconstructed values like energy and direction of an event can be done with:
.. code-block:: python3
>>> f.events.tracks.E
<Array [[117, 117, 0, 0, 0, ... 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]] type='10 * var * float64'>
``km3io`` is able to read events, summary slices and timeslices. Timeslices are
currently only supported with split level of 2 or more, which means that reading
L0 timeslices is currently not working (but in progress).
Let's have a look at some ORCA data (``KM3NeT_00000044_00005404.root``)
f = km3io.OnlineReader("KM3NeT_00000044_00005404.root")
That's it, we created an object which gives access to all the events, but the
relevant data is still not loaded into the memory (lazy access)!
Now let's have a look at the hits data:
array([28, 22, 17, 29, 5, 27, 24, 26, 21, 28, 26, 21, 26, 24, 17, 28, 23,29, 27, 24, 23, 26, 29, 25, 18, 28, 24, 28, 26, 20, 25, 31, 28, 23, 26, 21, 30, 33, 27, 16, 23, 24, 19, 24, 27, 22, 23, 21, 25, 16, 28, 22, 22, 29, 24, 29, 24, 24, 25, 25, 21, 31, 26, 28, 30, 42, 28], dtype=uint8)
The resulting arrays are numpy arrays.
Reading SummarySlices
The following example shows how to access summary slices, in particular the DOM
IDs of the slice with the index ``23``:
.. code-block:: python3
>>> f.summaryslices.slices[23].dom_id
array([806451572, 806455814, 806465101, 806483369, 806487219, 806487226,
806487231, 808432835, 808435278, 808447180, 808447186, 808451904,
808451907, 808469129, 808472260, 808472265, 808488895, 808488990,
808489014, 808489117, 808493910, 808946818, 808949744, 808951460,
808956908, 808959411, 808961448, 808961480, 808961504, 808961655,
808964815, 808964852, 808964883, 808964908, 808969848, 808969857,
808972593, 808972598, 808972698, 808974758, 808974773, 808974811,
808974972, 808976377, 808979567, 808979721, 808979729, 808981510,
808981523, 808981672, 808981812, 808981864, 808982005, 808982018,
808982041, 808982066, 808982077, 808982547, 808984711, 808996773,
808997793, 809006037, 809007627, 809503416, 809521500, 809524432,
809526097, 809544058, 809544061], dtype=int32)
The ``.dtype`` attribute (or in general, <TAB> completion) is useful to find out
more about the field structure:
.. code-block:: python3
>>> f.summaryslices.headers.dtype
dtype([(' cnt', '<u4'), (' vers', '<u2'), (' cnt2', '<u4'), (' vers2',
'<u2'), (' cnt3', '<u4'), (' vers3', '<u2'), ('detector_id', '<i4'), ('run',
'<i4'), ('frame_index', '<i4'), (' cnt4', '<u4'), (' vers4', '<u2'),
('UTC_seconds', '<u4'), ('UTC_16nanosecondcycles', '<u4')])
>>> f.summaryslices.headers.frame_index
<ChunkedArray [162 163 173 ... 36001 36002 36003] at 0x7effccd4af10>
The resulting array is a ``ChunkedArray`` which is an extended version of a
numpy array and behaves like one.
Reading Timeslices
Timeslices are split into different streams since 2017 and ``km3io`` currently
supports everything except L0, i.e. L1, L2 and SN streams. The API is
work-in-progress and will be improved in future, however, all the data is
already accessible (although in ugly ways ;-)
To access the timeslice data:
.. code-block:: python3
>>> f.timeslices
Available timeslice streams: L1, SN
>>> f.timeslices.stream("L1", 24).frames
{806451572: <Table [<Row 1577843> <Row 1577844> ... <Row 1578147>],
806455814: <Table [<Row 1578148> <Row 1578149> ... <Row 1579446>],
806465101: <Table [<Row 1579447> <Row 1579448> ... <Row 1580885>],
...
}
The frames are represented by a dictionary where the key is the ``DOM ID`` and
the value a numpy array of hits, with the usual fields to access the PMT
channel, time and ToT:
.. code-block:: python3
>>> f.timeslices.stream("L1", 24).frames[806451572].dtype
dtype([('pmt', 'u1'), ('tdc', '<u4'), ('tot', 'u1')])
>>> f.timeslices.stream("L1", 24).frames[806451572].tot
array([29, 21, 8, 29, 22, 20, 1, 37, 11, 22, 11, 22, 12, 20, 29, 94, 26,
