JUNO: don’t write secondary file in verbose mode #56

Closed JostMigenda closed 5 months ago

JostMigenda commented 5 months ago

Previously, in verbose mode sntools would write the timestamp and parameters to the filename args.output. For NUANCE and RATPAC files, it would then write events to the same file; for JUNO, it would write them to a separate file (with an additional .root suffix).

Since it doesn’t make much sense to have these parameters in a different file than the actual events, this PR avoids writing the parameters file.

@mcolomermolla Do you think it’s worth adding a separate tree with that metadata to the root files? (I occasionally found it useful when trying things out; for production use it’s unnecessary, since there will be other mechanisms to handle this bookkeeping.)
