Release status¶

• Current release = 2.3.1

• Targets for release 2.4.0:
  • Tracker -- Kalman updates
  • Third party -- MPFR script fix
  • Third party -- Event viewer -- add to release

• Targets for future release:
  • Global tracking -- fix memory leak
  • Third party -- CDB interface update
  • Tracker -- optimise helical pattern recognition
  • Framework -- trigger MC

Schedule¶

• 2016-05-25_MAUS-Schedule.ods

Detectors¶

• Detector integration (D. Rajaram)
  • ACTION: Add data_analyzable flag for each detector in post processing to CDB (Detector software heads) #1585, #1689
• Tracker (P. Kyberd)
  • 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: Optimize residuals for final tracks (C. Hunt)
  • ACTION: Fix close to paraxial tracks producing nan output (C. Hunt)
• TOF (D. Rajaram)
  • Restructure TOF MC Digitizer - part of trigger MC (D. Rajaram)
• EMR (F. Drielsma)
• KL (M. Bogomilov)
• CKOV (A. Liu, D. Rajaram)
  • Calibration
  • Validate CKOV MC against data

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¶

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 2.3.1

Infrastructure¶

• Fix problems when setting header_and_footer_mode to "dont_append" (C. Rogers, C. Pidcott)

Performance¶

• Speed improvements for MC
• Beam generation excessive resource usage
  • Query analysis group requirements (in particular how many G4BL beams we need)
  • Consider alternative upstream beam generation code

Tools¶

Event Viewer¶

• Add event viewer to MAUS #1799

Documentation¶

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

AOB¶

Notes¶

Attendance¶

A. Dobbs, J. Greis, P. Kyberd, M. Savic

Apologies: R. Bayes

Release Status¶

Schedule¶

Detectors¶

• All detectors
  • Detector analyzable flag
• KL
• Ckov
• EMR
• Tracker
• TOF

Global Reconstruction¶

Good progress made on finding memory leak, believe it originates in the Clone methods in the Global data structure. Swapping calls to Clone for calls to copy constructors removes the leak.

Monte Carlo¶

Geometry and CDB¶

G4BeamLine¶

Online Reconstruction¶

Batch Offline Reconstruction¶

Infrastructure¶

Performance¶

Tools¶

M. Savic had a few questions about MAUS development. Will coordinate with A. Dobbs to get a Jenkins job set up.

AOB¶
