Release status¶

• Current release = 2.5.0

• Targets for release 2.6.0:
  • Tracker Kalman integration tests
  • Tracker NaN fix
  • New tracker mappers format
  • Global TRef issue fix
  • G4BL random number fix

• Targets for release 2.7.0
  • Fix tracker charge determination
  • Update CDB to allow access to alignment data
  • Event Viewer Reducer

• Targets for future release:
  • Tracker -- optimise helical pattern recognition
  • Tracker -- calibrations download automatically at the start of each run
  • CDB -- C++ API
  • Framework -- trigger MC

Schedule¶

• 2016-08-24_MAUS-Schedule.ods

• Tracker (P. Kyberd)
  • ACTION Fix tracker MC no MCS x' 1s.d. deviation bug (C. Hunt)
  • 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 (C. Hunt)

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 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 2.5.0

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)

Schedule¶

Detectors¶

• All detectors
  • Detector analyzable flag
• KL
• Ckov
• EMR
• Tracker
  • NaN issue now assigned to PK as C. Hunt has left
  • Charge determination error found, assigned to AD
• TOF

Global Reconstruction¶

• TRef issue fixed (hurray!)
• Evaluating MAUS performance with Global tracking on before adding mappers to official recon
• Would it to run as standard if possible in MAUS 2.6.0

Monte Carlo¶

Geometry and CDB¶

• Current alignment data cannot be used, may need a CDB interface update (target release 2.7.0)

G4BeamLine¶

• Random seed fix in the merge branch

Online Reconstruction¶

• See Event Viewer below

Batch Offline Reconstruction¶

Infrastructure¶

Performance¶

Tools¶

• Event Viewer
  • Event viewer reducer tested as part of offline recon and seems to work fine
