Summary of Actions¶

• ACTION: Flag low pt for downstream reconstruction Done in personal dev branch, needs testing before merge
• ACTION: Real data unpacking
• ACTION: Present noise implementation to group (C. Heidt)
• ACTION: Optimize momentum residuals for final tracks (C. Hunt)
• ACTION: Organise discussion between AD, DR, RB, C. Hunt about how to get detector output in global system (AD)
• ACTION: Need uncertainties from detector reconstructions. Uncertainties on track points, momenta; Uncertainties on tof time. How? Also will need datastructure modifications once we understand how to get the uncertainties
• ACTION: DR restructure TOF Digi and incorporate MapCppTrigger
• ACTION: Upload script bug (Bayes)

Agenda¶

• Release status
  • Current release = 0.9.3
  • Targets for future release:
    • Trigger MC
    • Tracker -- pat rec and kalman updates
    • Fix unpacking error linking against latest version of DATE
    • Tracker unpacking and digitisation fix
    • Remove extra EMR recon events

• Schedule(All) 250215_Software_and_Computing.ods

• Detectors
  • Detector integration (Durga Rajaram)
    • Reconstruction quality flags (AD to make requests to detector groups)
  • Tracker (Tracker Team)
    • Space-point, track-finding efficiency studies partly blocked by lack of trigger #1182
    • ACTION: Fix real data unpacking / digitisation
    • ACTION: flag low pt for downstream reconstruction Done in personal dev branch, needs testing before merge
    • ACTION: Real data unpacking -- David Adey assigned to fix
    • ACTION: Present noise implementation to group (C. Heidt)
    • ACTION: Optimize momentum residuals for final tracks (C. Hunt)
  • TOF (Durga Rajaram)
    • Restructure TOF MC Digitizer - part of trigger MC
  • EMR (Francois Drielsma)
    • MC #1033
    • Does the "extra events" from EMR affect MC trigger formation? See #1595
    • ACTION: Refactor code to remove extra recon events
  • KL (Mariyan Bogomilov)
    • STANDING: MC validation, optimization, tuning, #1411
  • RealData (Yordan Karadzhov)
    • Linking error with new version of DATE - an upgrade to SL6 should solve
    • DAQ channel maps to DB (Rajaram) #1375, blocked by #994
  • Ckov (Drews/Winter/Rajaram)
  • Global Recon (Jan Greis/Celeste Pidcott)
    • ACTION: Organise discussion between AD, DR, RB, C. Hunt about how to get detector output in global system (AD)
    • Tracking (Greis)
    • PID (Pidcott)
      • ACTION: Need uncertainties from detector reconstructions. Uncertainties on track points, momenta; Uncertainties on tof time. How? Also will need datastructure modifications once we understand how to get the uncertainties
  • Monte Carlo trigger (Ryan Bayes) #1182
    • ACTION: DR restructure TOF Digi and incorporate MapCppTrigger
• Infrastructure
  • Geometry/MC (Stefania Ricciardi/Ryan Bayes)
    • Speed improvements (Bayes)
  • MC Beam
    • ACTION: Upload script bug (Bayes)
  • GRID and Batch Production (Chris Rogers/Janusz Martyniak)
    • Try grid running again? #1489
      • Running 0.9.1 -- some jobs got cancelled due to using up memory losses, and tracker unpacking also causing failures
  • Code deployment (All)
  • Documentation
  • Data Structure
• Online
  • Online data quality (Chris Rogers)
    • Have prototype GUI and prototype ROOT-based document DB to replace maus-web-app and django #1312
  • Software On Call (Durga Rajaram)
    • http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/projects/maus/wiki/Software_on-call (SOC wiki)
• Performance
  • Speed improvements
    • Remove string converions from backend as much as possible
  • Redo analysis of analysis group requirements (in particular how many G4BL beams we need)

• AOB
  • MAUS paper draft - developers please review and supply input where required launchpad
