Summary of Actions¶

Task	Person	Added	Issue Number	Comment
Evaluate tracker performance in presence of dark current for DEMO	AD	30/11/2016
Fix event viewer linking error	MS, YK, AD	24/08/2016
Add "MC run number" somewhere	D. Rajaram	13/04/2016	#1838
Urgently need validation plot from detectors to integrate with geometry & reconstruction to make sure geometry+reco is OK	D. Rajaram	16/09/2015	#1585	Examples at the bottom
Fix Pattern Recognition bugs that cause loss in efficiency	A. Dobbs	06/01/16	#1807	Done for straights
Fix close to paraxial tracks producing NaN output	P. Kyberd		#1862	Temp fix made, just discards tracks with NaNs

Release status¶

• Current release = 2.6.0
• Patch release = 2.6.5

• Targets for release 2.7.0:
  • TOF -- digitiser bug fix
  • Tracker -- update efficiency code
  • Global recon -- better handling of KL data
  • Geometry -- ParentFileCreation update to handle focus coil off mode
  • Utilities -- New utils added for offline reconstruction (analyze_data_fast_turnaround)
  • Third party -- update build scripts for gtest, xerces, root
  • Third party -- update numpy to fix mpl on Ubuntu

• Targets for future release:
  • Event Viewer Reducer
  • Tracker -- NaN fix
  • Tracker -- purity analysis code
  • Tracker -- optimise helical pattern recognition
  • Tracker -- calibrations download automatically at the start of each run
  • Framework -- trigger MC

Schedule¶

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 Evaluate tracker performance in presence of dark current for DEMO
  • Efficiency tools and results
  • Purity tools and results
  • Reconstruction improvements
• Fix tracker MC no MCS x' 1s.d. deviation bug (P. Kyberd)
• ACTION Fix Pattern Recognition bugs that cause loss in efficiency #1807 (A. Dobbs)
• Space-point, track-finding efficiency studies partly blocked by lack of trigger #1182
• ACTION: Fix close to paraxial tracks producing nan output (P. Kyberd)

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 (M. Uchida)¶

• Tracking (J. Greis)
  • Primary chain http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/issues/1840
• PID (M. Uchida)

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¶

• 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 2.6.5

Infrastructure¶

• Multiple tracks per trigger
• 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)
