Schedule

Detectors

    • Calibration
    • Validate CKOV MC against data

Global Reconstruction

  • Tracking (J. Greis)
  • PID (C. Pidcott)

Monte Carlo

  • Monte Carlo trigger (D. Rajaram) #1182
    • Restructure TOF Digitisation and incorporate MapCppTrigger (D. Rajaram)

Geometry and CDB

  • Want to be able to pull down tracker calibration data at the start of every run (better for online rec)
    • CDB C++ API written, but not yet ready for use

G4BeamLine

Online Reconstruction

Batch Offline Reconstruction

  • GRID MC running
  • Offline Rec running with 2.5.0

Infrastructure

  • Complete Output API
    • Make OutputCppRoot inherit from IModule
    • No more casting from py_obj* to determine Spill, RunFoooter, RunHeader, JobFooter, JobHeader type
    • Make base class for Spill, RunFooter, RunHeader, JobFooter, JobHeader
  • Make OutputCppRoot work with cpp reducers in general (ok if some specific ones do not)
  • Fix the Reducer API to all running multiple reducers in a chain
  • Find a way of making the spill and event number accessible through the data structure detector event classes

Performance

  • Speed improvements for MC

Event Viewer

Documentation

  • Update tracker (C. Heidt)
  • Update geometry (R. Bayes)

Release Status

  • Development freeze for 2.6.0 on 12/09/16, to allow time for deployment prior to next MICE shifts
  • Release 2.6.0 on or before 15/09/16
  • Waiting on the following fixes for 2.6.0:
    • Tracker NaN
    • Tracker charge determination
    • CDB alignment data
    • Global recon
      Will release without any that are not done by the development freeze

Schedule

Detectors

  • Tracker
    • Tracker NaN still needs fixing, will just remove tracks affected as a first step (PK)
    • Tracker charge determination bug localised to Kalman, Pat Rec is good, fix in progress (AD)

Global Reconstruction

  • JG continuing to work on evaluating performance of global recon
  • Fix to go in if possible to 2.6.0

Monte Carlo

Geometry and CDB

  • RB working on update to allow access to alignment data

G4BeamLine

Online Reconstruction

Batch Offline Reconstruction

Infrastructure

Discussion of issues with API between DR and AD:

  • Complete Output API
    • Make OutputCppRoot inherit from IModule
    • No more casting from py_obj* to determine Spill, RunFoooter, RunHeader, JobFooter, JobHeader type
    • Make base class for Spill, RunFooter, RunHeader, JobFooter, JobHeader
  • Make OutputCppRoot work with cpp reducers in general (ok if some specific ones do not)
  • Fix the Reducer API to all running multiple reducers in a chain

Event Viewer

AOB

  • RB notes the following third party download source urls are out of date:
    • gtest -> now on github, new cmake build system too
    • xerces -> new version (old version gone)
    • root -> ftp server gone

Next meeting: 21st September 2016
