Monte Carlo¶

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

Geometry and CDB¶

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 2.5.0

Infrastructure¶

• ACTION Fix InputCppRootData TRefArray data storage (A. Dobbs)
• Fix problems when setting header_and_footer_mode to "dont_append" (C. Rogers, C. Pidcott)

Performance¶

• Speed improvements for MC

Tools¶

Event Viewer¶

Documentation¶

• Update tracker (C. Heidt)
• Update geometry (R. Bayes)

AOB¶

Release Status¶

Want to do another release in next 10 - 20 days for batch processing (AD on leave for 2 weeks, AD or DR will do depending on when fixes are ready):

• Fix G4BL random seed (DR will check if fix in merge branch or not)
• analyze_data_offline.py script update (already in merge)
• Use correction table in CDB (RB will let AD / DR know when checked and ready)

Schedule¶

Detectors¶

• All detectors
  • Detector analyzable flag
• KL
• Ckov
• EMR
• Tracker
  • AD splitting MapCppTrackerRecon into 4 (Clustering, Spacepoints, PatRec, Kalman) to aid debugging
  • AD still pursuing low momentum pat rec efficiency drop
• TOF

Global Reconstruction¶

• TRefArray still an issue, JG will try potential solution outlined by AD (only initialise the TRefArrays in Global Track at first use, not when Global Track itself is initialised)
