    • ACTION: merge into trunk
    • ACTION: flag low pt for downstream reconstruction
    • ACTION: ADC smearing, Cosmic data -- need to ping David Adey
  • TOF (Durga Rajaram)
    • TOF Calibration - integration with MAUS
  • EMR (Yordan Karadzhov/Francois Drielsma)
    • MC #1033
    • ACTION: Francois to push his code to lp

    • Finalize geometry
    • ACTION DR get Lucien's geometry into MAUS
      • Cremaldi + student have shown me what they have, to push to lp
      • in launchpad now ready to merge, waiting to hear if it's final
  • Global Recon (Jan Greis/Celeste Pidcott)
  • Tracking (Greis)
    • ACTION: JG to update work plan - add items as necessary
  • PID (Pidcott)
  • CP working on pulling KL and Ckov into PID, requires modifying the datastructure

    • Ckov geometry update (Cremaldi)
    • need positions of survey nests from detector groups
    • need input on diffuser thickness
    • 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)

KL¶

Ckov¶

EMR¶

Tracker¶

• Chris Heidt looking into He window placement in geometry
• Need David Adey's input on smearing and cosmic data -- get together at CM

TOF¶

• optimize/improve trigger pixel finding in MC

Global¶

• JG refactoring data structure

MC¶

Geometry¶

• Ryan Bayes reported that loading GDML directly into MAUS cuts time down to 8 minutes (from 28)
• Caveats: unable to add some detector objects for KL and CKOV
• Diffuser, still need input on where irises are globally, and what the thicknesses are

G4BL¶

Build system¶
