Summary of Actions¶

• ACTION: Flag low pt for downstream reconstruction Done in personal dev branch, needs testing before merge
• ACTION: Real data unpacking -- David Adey assigned to fix
• ACTION: Present noise implementation to group (C. Heidt)
• ACTION: D. Adey to update tracker schedule by next meeting
• ACTION: Optimize momentum residuals for final tracks (C. Hunt)
• ACTION: Organise discussion between AD, DR, RB, C. Hunt about how to get detector output in global system (AD)
• ACTION: Need uncertainties from detector reconstructions. Uncertainties on track points, momenta; Uncertainties on tof time. How? Also will need datastructure modifications once we understand how to get the uncertainties
• ACTION: DR restructure TOF Digi and incorporate MapCppTrigger
• ACTION: Upload script bug (Bayes)

Agenda¶

• Release status
  • Current release = 0.9.2
  • Targets for future release:
    • CDB -- new tables in DB, allow MAUS to run with custom datacards on GRID
    • Batch running -- execute_against_data.py
    • Trigger MC
    • Tracker -- pat rec and kalman updates

• Schedule(All) 040215_Software_and_Computing.ods

• Detectors
  • Detector integration (Durga Rajaram)
    • Reconstruction quality flags (AD to make requests to detector groups)
  • Tracker (David Adey)
    • Space-point, track-finding efficiency studies partly blocked by lack of trigger #1182

    • ACTION: D. Adey to update tracker schedule by next meeting
    • ACTION: Optimize momentum residuals for final tracks (C. Hunt)
  • TOF (Durga Rajaram)
    • Restructure TOF MC Digitizer - part of trigger MC
  • EMR (Francois Drielsma)
    • MC #1033
    • Does the "extra events" from EMR affect MC trigger formation? See #1595
  • KL (Mariyan Bogomilov)
    • STANDING: MC validation, optimization, tuning, #1411
  • RealData (Yordan Karadzhov)

  • ACTION: Organise discussion between AD, DR, RB, C. Hunt about how to get detector output in global system (AD)
  • Tracking (Greis)
  • PID (Pidcott)
    • ACTION: Need uncertainties from detector reconstructions. Uncertainties on track points, momenta; Uncertainties on tof time. How? Also will need datastructure modifications once we understand how to get the uncertainties
  • Monte Carlo trigger (Ryan Bayes) #1182
    • ACTION: DR restructure TOF Digi and incorporate MapCppTrigger
• Infrastructure
  • Geometry/MC (Stefania Ricciardi/Ryan Bayes)
    • Speed improvements (Bayes)
  • MC Beam
    • ACTION: Upload script bug (Bayes)
  • GRID and Batch Production (Chris Rogers/Janusz Martyniak)
    • Try grid running again? #1489
      • Running 0.9.1 -- some jobs got cancelled due to using up memory losses, and tracker unpacking also causing failures
  • Code deployment (All)
  • Documentation
  • Data Structure
• Online
  • Online data quality (Chris Rogers)
    • Have prototype GUI and prototype ROOT-based document DB to replace maus-web-app and django #1312
  • Software On Call (Durga Rajaram)
    • http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/projects/maus/wiki/Software_on-call (SOC wiki)

• AOB

Detector Integration¶

KL¶

Ckov¶

EMR¶

Tracker¶

TOF¶

Global¶

• Upstreams and downstream tracks now available
• Efficiencies calculated for both upstream and downstream tracks
• PID running on downstream tracks
• Need x,y,z output from detector groups, and uncertainties on all reported paramters

MC¶

Geometry¶

Speed of running with geometry from CDB now comparable with that of the legacy geometry.

G4BL¶

GRID¶

Janusz waiting on MAUS 0.9.3 before doing next GRID deployment.
