Release Status¶

• G4Beamline - in current release, several beams available on the GRID
• G4BL stuff Version 0 to test, to be modified with some operational
• Ryan looking at EMR MC code, thinking about integration

Schedule¶

Step IV Geometry¶

• Documentation -> 30th April

G4Beamline for beam input¶

• Documentation -> 30th April

Trigger MC¶

• Pending input from Rajaram

Tracker CDB Geometry¶

• Pull down works, errors from running over the files -> 15 May

PR optimisation¶

• 01 July

PR integration tests¶

• 01 June

Kalman stuff¶

• Risk that Ed leaves before he is finished

Tracker Noise¶

• Done

Global¶

• Collect space points/tracks - in Pidcott branch
  • Note tracker bugs as issue

Online¶

• Blocked by data structure stuff
• Move to 1st July

Tracker¶

• Low-pt tracking failures
  • Consider flagging
  • Taylor suggests flagging with straight line fit (preferred)
  • Rogers suggests flagging with large error matrix
  • Dobbs to investigate how the data structure is filled by the two fits
  • Note that in field-on case, require low x-y spread (i.e. p parallel to B) - may be a way to do it

Global Recon¶

• Discussion on Jan's work tomorrow @ RAL

Geometry¶

• Ryan received communication from Lucien via Durga
  • Visualised geometry for the Ckov
  • Matches what we have in reality
  • Continuing with validation
• Ryan looking at EMR
• Speed improvements
  • Geometry on CDB consisting only of detectors and magnetic fields
