TOF code discussion¶

So there was a discussion between Rogers, Rob and Yordan after the online software meeting yesterday. We decided to split TOF code like

Data      MC
 |        |
Digits  Digits
 |       /
 |------/
 |
Slab hits
 |
Space points
 |
Calibrated times
 |
Tracks

Presumably each of the words is an output from a map object.

We decided that:

• Yordan has responsibility for the unpacking step
• Rob has responsibility for the slab hits, space points, calibrated times
• Galina has responsibility for track reconstruction (importing Mark's code)
• Yordan has overall management responsibility
• Vassil is welcome to contribute, but we want him to focus on getting his thesis done. Can integrate with MAUS as a second step.

Additionally:

• We didn't assign a name to the Monte Carlo digitisation. There is something there already provided by Tunnell, may need another pass. Galina would be a good person for this potentially (needs input from Tunnell).
• We didn't set time frame for delivery of components. I think this is an important next step.
• We had a query/uncertainty on the overhead involved in splitting stuff into separate maps

ACTIONS:

• Yordan to define a data structure so the interface between the different steps is clear
• Yordan to explain task to Galina
• Rogers to review RealData code (in Yordan's branch)
• Rogers to investigate overhead of using separate maps rather than one map for all tasks
