CEDRIC is an offline event display for the COMPASS experiment at Cern.
It provides event visualization based on mDST files
combined with a novel browsing technique for large event datasets called EventMap.
This software is a prototype and especially the EventMap browsing feature is experimental.
We, that is Boris Iven and Max Hermann, have developed this program as part of our master thesis ("Diplomarbeit") in computer science at the university of Bonn. If you have questions, problems or suggestions concerning CEDRIC please feel free to contact Max Hermann.

Note: This section is outdated, unfortunately the remote version is no longer available.
Currently you can test revision r325 of the program remotely on lxplus:
cd /afs/cern.ch/user/m/mhermann/public/EventDisplay ./start.sh
You can also pass a filename to the start.sh script:
./start.sh myFavourite_mDST.root
Note that it is no longer needed (nor possible) to pass options to the start.sh script. If the program doesn't start up, make sure your ssh session has X-forwarding activated. We know that the remote version is very slow and cumbersome. For "serious" use we recommend to download and install the source distribution.
Note: The original source code repository seems to be discontinued. Therefore a personal backup of the author's source code repository is made available here:
