Release status¶

• Current release = 2.3.1

• Targets for release 2.4.0:
  • Third party -- Event viewer -- add to release
  • CDB interface update

• Targets for future release:
  • Framework -- trigger MC
  • Tracker -- optimise helical pattern recognition

Schedule¶

• 2016-05-11_MAUS-Schedule.ods

Detectors¶

• Detector integration (D. Rajaram)
  • ACTION: Add data_analyzable flag for each detector in post processing to CDB (Detector software heads) #1585, #1689
• Tracker (P. Kyberd)
  • ACTION Fix Pattern Recognition bugs that cause loss in efficiency #1807 (A. Dobbs)
  • MC studies of effect of 1T field on tracker performance (P. Kyberd, Analysis Group)
  • Space-point, track-finding efficiency studies partly blocked by lack of trigger #1182
  • ACTION: Optimize residuals for final tracks (C. Hunt)
  • ACTION: Fix close to paraxial tracks producing nan output (C. Hunt)
  • Flag low pt for downstream tracker reconstruction? (A. Dobbs)
• TOF (D. Rajaram)
  • Restructure TOF MC Digitizer - part of trigger MC (D. Rajaram)
• EMR (F. Drielsma)
• KL (M. Bogomilov)
• CKOV (A. Liu, D. Rajaram)
  • 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¶

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 2.3.1

Infrastructure¶

• Fix problems when setting header_and_footer_mode to "dont_append" (C. Rogers, C. Pidcott)

Performance¶

• Speed improvements for MC
• Beam generation excessive resource usage
  • Query analysis group requirements (in particular how many G4BL beams we need)
  • Consider alternative upstream beam generation code

Tools¶

Event Viewer¶

• Add event viewer to MAUS #1799

Documentation¶

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

AOB¶

Notes¶

Attendance¶

Release Status¶

Schedule¶

Detectors¶

• All detectors
  • Detector analyzable flag
• KL
• Ckov
• EMR
• Tracker
• TOF

Global Reconstruction¶

• MU and JG hunting a memory leak in track matching, going well

Monte Carlo¶

Geometry and CDB¶

• Waiting for CDB script update from Janusz

G4BeamLine¶

Online Reconstruction¶

• Still no reply from YK on getting new OnRec as a third party, AD to pursue

Batch Offline Reconstruction¶

• Release 2.3.1 is good for batch reconstruction

Infrastructure¶

Performance¶

Tools¶

• Event Viewer almost ready to go into trunk, hopefully will go in in next day or so

AOB¶

• Issue tracker now sending emails again
• AD considering move to Git and GitHub for MAUS version control -- please emails thoughts, or experiences with using the GitHub trial

Next meeting: 25th May 2016
