Aim¶

• Get ready for online running (close out TOF code and online code)
• Establish/finalise tracker work plan
• Close out any niggling simulation jobs

Agenda¶

WH means Wilson Hall (ie. the high rise building). The number after it means what floor is it on. The X or XO usually means Crossover - so WH13X means Wilson Hall 13th floor - Crossover.

The lower floors of Wilson Hall do not have any connection between the two sides - you have to either use the elevators or stairs to move across. On the higher floors you can walk all the way around and some of those crossover sections have meeting rooms on them.

Local Stuff¶

Cheap accomodation can be found in the Fermilab village and there is a block of rooms reserved. Please contact Chris Tunnell and Linda Coney to figure out how to get booked into that block. Rooms should be about 15 USD per night.

Minutes¶

Start of meeting plans¶

Matt Littlefield¶

Wants to close out geometry CAD stuff. Jenkins build issue. There are 4 executables for uploading and downloading (current, time, run #). He will present these so people can learn about them. That'll be the focus of this meeting. 1.5 years left.

Summer/Anastasia¶

Helical track pattern recognition mostly there. Sent to Ray for review. Straight track pattern recognition in progress. Goal: straight track patter rec. + fit w/o energy loss for cosmic run.

Anastasia will take over when Summer goes on study abroad and use this stuff for her BA thesis.

Adam Dobbs¶

• form plan with times requested by Rogers
• block diagram of tracker; updated dot figure
• triggers?

Chris Tunnell¶

• Show how to make plots
• support

Edward Santos¶

• test for digitization - will be ready this week
• SciFiSD geant4 interface, half day work, needs help with seg fault
• update datacards!!! according to reference
• RealData

Chris Heidt¶

• argparse cleanup - closeout this week!
• tutorial - closeout this week! Test with Pierrick.
• wants to use this to get involved with tracker group.

Gene Kafka¶

• KNow how unpacker works
• generate sonnek plots
• CKOV geometry w/ Littlefield

Rob Fletcher¶

• wrote tons of TOF code; Yordan use it?
• needs to compare his version to trunk
• seems like he has a newer, well refactored version
• Rob to present Yordan's stuff
• Does TOF datastructure agree with Tracker data structure?

Oleg Lysenko¶

• Tracker in GDML, done
• geometry datastructure this week
• compare against NIM
• installation of MAUS

Pierrick¶

• Install, run MAUS. Make plots

Durga¶

• Installed. Need pointers
• Will work on wedge
