Summary of Actions¶

Task	Person	Added	Issue Number	Comment
Fix Kalman x interpolation in absence of seed spacepoint	C. Hunt	02/03/2016	-
A. Dobbs to kick off discussion on online EV with Y. Karadzhov	A. Dobbs	20/01/2016	-	Do before next meeting
Urgently need validation plot from detectors to integrate with geometry & reconstruction to make sure geometry+reco is OK	D. Rajaram	03/02/2016		Examples at the bottom
Fix Pattern Recognition bugs that cause loss in efficiency	A. Dobbs	06/01/16	#1807	Done for straights
GRID MC running	D. Maletic, D. Rajaram	02/12/15		Needs a champion - D. Maletic? Local running under DR until then.
Fix tracker coordinate system flips	Tracker group	18/11/2015	#1792	Mostly done now - C. Hunt should have fixed by next meeting.
Add data_analyzable flag for each detector in post processing to CDB	Detector software heads	16/09/2015	#1585
Add tracker efficiency plots to MAUS	P. Kyberd	16/09/2015	-	Hopefully done by next meeting
Optimize residuals for final tracks	C. Hunt	-	-	Done for straights
Fix close to paraxial tracks producing nan output	C. Hunt	-	-
Update tracker online plots	M. Uchida	-	-	Just needs final testing
Implement dE/dx in Runge-Kutta	J. Greis	-	-	In release 2.0.0, but needs a debug fix

Release status¶

• Current release = 2.1.0

• Targets for release 2.2.0:
  • Global Runge-Kutta fix
  • Event viewer added

• Targets for future release:
  • Framework -- trigger MC
  • Framework -- fix InputCppDataRoot
  • Tracker -- fix Kalman interpolation in absence of seed spacepoint
  • Tracker -- Optimise helical pattern recognition

Schedule¶

• 2016-03-16_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)
  • ACTION Fix tracker coordinate system flips
  • 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)
  • ACTION: Fix Kalman x interpolation in absence of seed spacepoint (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¶

• RB to do last fix to sync gdml with mice modules for next release

G4BeamLine¶

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¶

• MAUS running fails on GRID (#1815)
• GRID running 1.0.0
  • Enable MC GRID running again #1739
  • execute_against_data.py to always produce tarball Is this still relevant?
  • numpy ATLAS library is causing issues on GRID (J. Martyniak, A. Dobbs)
• Offline Rec running 2.0.0

Infrastructure¶

• InputCppRoot still using JSON (and so super slow) (A. Dobbs, C. Rogers) (#1814)
  • New InputCppDataRoot module is fast but crashes quickly
• Fix geometry test which randomly produces large SOAP error (R. Bayes)
• 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)
