This is the common software analysis package of the Forward and Small-x QCD group in the CMS experiment at CERN to process LHC Run2 data.

This master branch was used during the inital development phase with early Run II data in CMSSW 6 or 7 releases. As new CMSSW versions were released the compatibility of this framework and proper data analysis required the usage of different branches with developments tailored to a particular CMSSW release.
This master branch is thus not updated, but several other branches are, each for a different CMSSW release cycle.
Current branches:
- CMSSW_74X: intended for early Run II 2015 data analysis/development. Should be superseded by CMSSW_76X branch.
- CMSSW_76X: use it for Run II 2015 data analysis.
- CMSSW_80X: use it for Run II 2016 data analysis.
- CMSSW_92X: was intended for development.
- CMSSW_101X: was intended for development (and early Run II 2018 data analysis). Should be superseded by CMSSW_103X branch.
- CMSSW_103X: use it for Run II 2018 data analysis.
For use with CMSSW: clone this repository in your CMSSW/src directory and compile with scram b.
