Agenda¶

• Release status
  • Current release = 0.9.1
  • Targets for future release:
    • EMR -- digitization
    • EMR -- reconstruction
    • Trigger MC
    • DAQ maps to DB #1375 (needs #994)

• Schedule(All): 121114_Software_and_Computing.ods

• Detectors
  • Detector integration (Durga Rajaram)
    • Reconstruction quality flags
  • Tracker (Adam Dobbs)
    • Space-point, track-finding efficiency studies partly blocked by lack of trigger #1182
    • 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: D. Adey to review C. Heidt's noise implementation
  • TOF (Durga Rajaram)
    • Restructure TOF MC Digitizer - part of trigger MC
  • EMR (Francois Drielsma)
    • MC #1033
    • ACTION: Francois / Durga to sort out issues with code merged into trunk
    • does the "extra events" from EMR affect MC trigger formation?
      • Communication from François: code is in private branch on lp, MC digitizer v1 is complete, Reconstruction being worked on
      • DR tried running EMR Digi + Reco - some test failures, extra events have incorrect event number
  • KL (Mariyan Bogomilov)
    • STANDING: MC validation, optimization, tuning, #1411
  • RealData (Yordan Karadzhov)
    • DAQ channel maps to DB (Rajaram) #1375, blocked by #994
  • Ckov (Drews/Winter/Rajaram)
  • Global Recon (Jan Greis/Celeste Pidcott)
  • 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)
    • ACTION: Evaluation Results = ?
    • Speed improvements (Bayes)
  • MC Beam
    • Standing: There is a request to have G4BL decks in the CDB. JN will handle the interface code
  • 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 Workshop (CM 40)
    • Please vote in the Doodle poll
  • Software On Call (Durga Rajaram)
    • http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/projects/maus/wiki/Software_on-call (SOC wiki)

• AOB
  • MAUS paper draft - developers please review and supply input where required
  • ACTION: R. Bayes will supply example script for analysing physics block data

Detector Integration¶

• Want reconstruction quality flags for each detector, and display in reducers (Rajaram)

KL¶

Ckov¶

EMR¶

Tracker¶

TOF¶

Global¶

• PID VarC (Tracker and KL) now working (C. Pidcott)
• Lots to do to understand how to evaluate purity and efficiency of PID and Global overall (C. Pidcott)
• Bug in tracking rountines for backwards propagation through matter, work ongoing (J. Greis)
