Release status¶

• Current release = 1.2.0
• Targets for release 1.3.0:

• Targets for future release:
  • Trigger MC
  • Fix memory leaks
  • Tracker -- Kalman updates
  • Updated tracker noise
  • execute_against_data.py should be always make a tarball

Schedule¶

• 2015-10-14_MAUS-Schedule.ods

Detectors¶

• Detector integration (D. Rajaram)
  • ACTION: Add data_analyzable flag for each detector (Detector software heads) #1585
• Tracker (P. Kyberd)
  • Observe that tracks when visualised do not appear to line up between trackers, in both position and slope
  • 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)
  • ACTION: Update tracker online plots (M. Uchida)
  • 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)
• Detector output
  • Get detector output in global coordinate system (C. Heidt, C. Hunt), see #1631
• ACTION: Detectors to provide uncertainties from reconstructions on: positions; momenta; tof time (A. Dobbs)
• ACTION: Implement dE/dx in Runge-Kutta (J. Gries)

Monte Carlo¶

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

Geometry¶

• ACTION: Upload cooling channel tags to production DB (R. Bayes)
• ACTION: Fix cdb geometry download by run number (R. Bayes)
• ACTION: Verify scifi geometry correct in CDB now (C. Heidt, P. Kyberd)

Online Reconstruction¶

• Have prototype GUI and prototype ROOT-based document DB to replace maus-web-app and django #1312 (C. Rogers)
• Software On Call (A. Dobbs)
  • http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/projects/maus/wiki/Software_on-call (SOC wiki)

Batch Offline Reconstruction¶

• GRID running 1.0.0
  • Enable MC GRID running again #1739
  • execute_against_data.py to always produce tarball Is this still relevant?

Infrastructure¶

• ACTION Need C++ Reducer example (C. Rogers)
• ACTION Fix geometry test which randomly produces large SOAP error (R. Bayes)
• ACTION Fix problems when setting header_and_footer_mode to "dont_append" (C. Rogers, C. Pidcott)
• ACTION Refactor MAUS cross links to allow multi-threading - probably use std::vector<TRef>. #1761 (A. Dobbs)

Performance¶

• Speed improvements
  • Fix memory leaks - preventing GRID running (A. Dobbs, D. Rajaram, C. Rogers)
• Beam generation excessive resource usage
  • Query analysis group requirements (in particular how many G4BL beams we need)
  • Consider alternative upstream beam generation code

Tools¶

• Add V. Blackmore event visualiser to MAUS

Documentation¶

AOB¶

• Moving MAUS tarballs from heplnv156 to heplnm072
