Outputs and File Formats

Run products are written beneath rootDir. Exact files depend on enabled statistics, search method, and options.

Common Outputs

rBins.txt

Radial-bin values used by the histogram outputs.

histNN*.txt

Neighbor-count histogram when compute-HistN is requested.

histCF*.txt

Count-derived correlation output when and-CF is requested.

histXi2pcf*.txt

Two-point correlation function.

histZetaM*.txt

Three-point multipole matrices. Component and multipole suffixes depend on the active 3PCF implementation.

mHistZetaM*.txt and histZetaG*.txt

Additional multipole/angle representations produced by selected options and add-ons.

Provenance and Logs

Each run writes a *-usedvalues parameter snapshot beneath rootDir. When verbose_log is positive, log output is written under the run’s temporary/log directory. Treat the used-values file as part of every analysis artifact.

Naming Controls

histNNFileName, histXi2pcfFileName, and histZetaFileName change the base names. suffixOutFiles appends a run-specific suffix and is useful when comparing methods without overwriting previous outputs.

Recommended Output Practice

• use a unique rootDir or suffix for each parameter set;

• keep the parameter file and generated used-values file together;

• record the commit hash and Makefile settings;

• verify bin units before plotting or comparing runs;

• do not interpret the reduced quickstart settings as science-ready values.
