Software & Computing Issues¶

• Software
  • TOF:
    • improvement/bug fix in MC digitization - potentially resolves ~75 ps discrepancy between truth/reco
  • Tracker:
    • Inefficiency in TKD reconstruction shown up by analysis.
  • Global:
    • Track-matching performance is slow for multiple spacepoints/tracks
    • DR looking into processing schemes that will preserve fast MLCR reco while also incorporating global matching
  • MC:
    • G4BL generation of pion beam libraries blocked -- issues with very few pions getting through to TOF1/Tracker.
      • Need guidance from analysis -- while waiting for resource to address the pion yield, is it still valuable to go ahead and generate 'muon' libraries and push through simulations?

• Infrastructure
  • Survey from last run has been incorporated into geometry + a few other requests for extra virtual planes.

• Data processing
  • Automatic offline reconstruction continues with latest survey, calibrations
  • To-do: Reprocessing of earlier runs with latest patch

• Personnel
  • DAQ head - EO to replace YK
    • Need to beef up documentation for handover
  • Local DAQ expertise
    • EO trained DR on electronics/cabling in rack room. Need further documenting.
  • Geometry head
    • RB+DR interaction to document & detail geometry procedures has commenced.
