Release status¶

• Current release = 2.4.0

• Targets for release 2.5.0:
  • Global tracking -- fix memory leak
  • Third party -- Event viewer -- minor updates

• Targets for future release:

• Third party -- CDB interface update
• Tracker -- optimise helical pattern recognition
• Framework -- trigger MC

  • Restructure TOF Digitisation and incorporate MapCppTrigger (D. Rajaram)

Geometry and CDB¶

G4BeamLine¶

Online Reconstruction¶

• New online framework should be added to MAUS as a third party (Y. Karadzhov)
• Software On Call (A. Dobbs)
  • http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/projects/maus/wiki/Software_on-call (SOC wiki)

Batch Offline Reconstruction¶

• GRID MC running
• Offline Rec running with 2.4.0

Infrastructure¶

• ACTION Fix InputCppRootData TRefArray data storage (A. Dobbs)
• Fix problems when setting header_and_footer_mode to "dont_append" (C. Rogers, C. Pidcott)

Performance¶

• Speed improvements for MC

Tools¶

Event Viewer¶

Documentation¶

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

Notes¶

Attendance¶

R. Bayes, A. Dobbs, J. Greis, P. Kyberd, D. Rajaram, M. Savic, M. Uchida

Release Status¶

MAUS-v2.4.0 has been released.

Schedule¶

Detectors¶

• All detectors
  • Detector analyzable flag
• KL
• Ckov
• EMR
• Tracker
  • Bug in Kalman when reconstructing x' from MC with MCS off (1 s.d. out), C. Hunt working on fix
• TOF
  • Bug found in TOF calibration, fix in progress (D. Rajaram)

Global Reconstruction¶

• Decided 1 month to get Global into the standard analyze_data python scripts
• Memory leak issue probably fixed by swapping copy constructor calls for the Clone calls in the GlobalEvent class copy constructor. Has thrown up a further issue when using InputCppRootData however, TRefArray don't see to work properly when used to import data back into MAUS... see Infrastructure
• JG has performance improvement to go in for track matching, order of magnitude faster

Monte Carlo¶

Geometry and CDB¶

• Some historical beamline configurations do not have CDB entries, RB looking into this

G4BeamLine¶

• Bug in current G4BL GRID deck, fix in progress

Online Reconstruction¶

• AD will ask YK about adding new Onrec as MAUS third party at next online meeting

Batch Offline Reconstruction¶

• Will reprocess data with MAUS-v2.4.0

Infrastructure¶

• InputCppRootData may not be dealing with TRefArrays properly (found in Global work), AD to investigate
• DR has been cleaning up execute_against_data tests, new real data test file will be from run 7408

Performance¶

Tools¶

• Event Viewer
  • New HepRep geometry files to go into MAUS
  • Still need to make a Reducer to integrate into OnRec framework

AOB¶

Next meeting: 22nd June 2016
