Get data from a Zombie file

Good morning! I had my geant4 project running, while my computer crashed on some cases. I still have a file unfinished, without an EOF marker. I’d like to get access to the data inside this zombie file. Is it possible to do that?

ROOT Version: 6.26
Platform: Ubuntu 24.04
Compiler: gcc

Welcome to the ROOT Forum!
Looking at those topics: Read a truncated ROOT file and How to read a Zombie file? I guess it will be difficult, but maybe @pcanal can give more hints

If file->Recover() does not help enough, it will be simpler to rerun the job.
