h2. 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)

h2. 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) attachment: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

** CM41 talks

** MAUS paper draft - developers please review and supply input where required "launchpad":https://code.launchpad.net/maus-pub
