November 3, 2005 Meeting with Bill Atwood, Eric Charles, Heather Kelly, Steve Ritz
While we were all at SLAC, we had a meeting concerning the work to be done on the ACD software.
The priorities where assigned are: H = High, M = Medium, L = Low.
Geometry
| Activity |
Description |
Priority |
Status |
| Overlaps |
Crown. This also include overlaps of side tiles, which is dependent on shingling |
M |
| Screws |
The description for screws is already available, needs more testing |
L |
| Curved top tiles |
As agreed with ACD team, this will be implemented as an extra squared off piece |
M |
| Shingling |
Probably the most difficult update to the model |
M |
| Check side tile edge wrt Si |
Should talk to Leon |
H |
| As Built Gaps |
Is this possible before positon maps are available? |
H |
| Blanket-MMS |
Dave Thompson has provided up to date details |
H |
| flexures |
Need to consult with Alex to see if this is important |
|
| weighing support material |
need to consult with Alex to see if this is important |
|
| BEA |
need to consult with Alex to see if this is important |
|
Joanne will not be available to help with geometry updates at least until after January.
Eric stated that by the end of January, he would be able to provide position maps of the detectors and gaps.
Digitization
| Activity |
Description |
Priority |
Status |
| Ribbon Attenuation |
Alex has provided mean PE per MIP based on position along ribbon. |
L |
|
| Fiber Attenuation |
Alex provided a table before the AcdGeo simulations. |
H |
DONE |
| Check/Improve Edge Effects |
|
H |
|
| Noise |
Check the current std deviations |
|
| Overlays |
what is this??? |
|
|
| "Hit map" vs "Accept map" |
|
|
|
| Range |
|
|
|
| Left&Right Factor of 2 Check |
A quick fix was inserted in the code to fix the factor of two, need to check to be sure there are no further instances. |
H |
|
| CNO |
Check handling from beginning to end. |
|
|
| readout limitations |
i.e. an event causes 89 tiles to fire, but only 10 are read out - need to check to see what the default is |
|
|
After some discussion, it was decided not to explicitly model pedestals in the MC simulation.
Reconstruction
| Activity |
Description |
Priority |
Status |
| Use of PHA |
Calculating reconstructed ACD energy per tile |
H |
|
| New Variables in merit |
Introduce Eric's new TkrIntersect Quantities into the ntuple, they are in full recon. |
h High, but Bill doesn't want to hold up DC2 for them. |
|
| Normalize Energy Deposition by Angle |
|
M |
|
| Distances in tracking sigmas |
Eric's new TkrIntersect code using the propagator should make this easy |
M |
|
| AcdMaxTileE |
Variable used by Steve to help eliminate S/C events. |
H |
|
| Store both MC Enery dep AND Recon Energy |
Currently only MC Energy Deposited is stored. |
H |
|
| Angle beween recon track and tile plane |
Requested by Alex. |
H |
Done. Pathlength through tile is stored in TkrIntersect |
| Store X,Y of Active Distance |
Requested by Alex |
H |
Done. TkrIntersect provides Global X, Y position |
