Release Status

A. Dobbs will release 1.5.0 when tracker group provides MC fixes

Schedule

Detectors

  • All detectors
    • ACTION: Urgently need validation plot from detectors to integrate with geometry & reconstruction to make sure geometry+reco is OK
  • KL
  • Ckov
  • EMR
  • Tracker
    • Star problem (fiber lengths in geometry), large residuals between reco and MC truth.
    • Sliding residuals is the remaining issue.
      • C. Hunt has pushed some fixes - now in MAUS. Heidt working on geometry solution for other half of the problem.
    • M. Uchida expecting to get tracker online plots updated in next few weeks
      • These are efficiency and validation plots, not intended for online reco but DR thinks it's worth maybe having some subset of it for online reco
  • TOF

Global Reconstruction

  • Global team will try to provide a branch for merging in their code before the next meeting.
    • J. Greis - testing of global tracks is blocked by tracker MC. But ready to push code de/dx into MAUS
      • built on Jenkins, but seeing some application test failures on private machine. Will create issue and if MAUS man is happy JG will propose a merge

Monte Carlo

Geometry

  • RB waiting for alignment corrections from FD before releasing new geometry
  • CHeidt asked RB to check with him before final release of geo, since tracker group may have some more fixes.
  • We need detector validation to integrate with geometry to ensure that the geometry representation is OK for MC and data reconstruction (see above)

G4BeamLine

RB will provide a link to non-grid-hosted G4BL chunks for people interested in testing

Online Reconstruction

Batch Offline Reconstruction

  • DR waiting for tracker fixes and new release of MAUS before proceeding with MC & reprocessing on MLCR
  • D. Rajaram will continue working with D. Maletic to get full GRID MC back up again.
    • DM getting up to speed, getting certificates etc to poke around on GRID.

Infrastructure

  • MAUS running fails on GRID. Portability issue related to numpy build. Issue created.
  • Reco quality: JM creating a table for reco quality flags (~2 weeks), DR working on integrating TOF quality, will test with table on preprod

Performance

MC speed needs to be addressed when we find time.

Tools

AOB

  • Software workshop at CM44 likely to be on the Friday afternoon, A. Dobbs to confirm

Next meeting: 15:00 GMT, 17th Feb 16
