There are 2 sorts of histograms created:

1)Validation test:

-----------------

The validation test verifies the technical behaviour of the mixing, i.e. that

bunchcrossings are correctly filled by the

MM, and that values like the vertex pointers and ToF etc are

correctly shifted. For that it executes the MM for each bunchcrossing,

restricting the bunchrange to this crossing only, and adding exactly 1 event as a pileup,

which is the same as the signal event.

Rereading the output of the MM with TestSuite, it produces a root-file

containing histograms.

2) Global Tests

------------

These histograms look at the statistical behaviour. Histograms include

NrPileupEvts, NrVertices, NrTracks, TrackPartId, CaloEnergyEB, CaloEnergyEE

The histograms are examined automaticalle by executing DoCompare, which

compares with reference histos.To execute the testsuite:

In the test-directory, type

- 'chmod +x testsuite.csh' to make the shell script executable

- ovalv1 p testsuite.csh
