Each geometry is a subdirectory of hps-detectors/detectors, and must contain the following:

• compact.xml: defines the geometry in terms of detector modules, each of which corresponds to classes in GeomConverter - used by GeomConverter and LCSim
• detector.properties: other (non-geometry) detector parameters
• SamplingFractions: sampling fractions for each calorimeter
• LCDD file for the geometry: generated from the compact.xml - used by SLIC

Adding a new detector

• make a subdirectory of hps-detectors/detectors; name of the subdirectory is the name of the detector
• add name of the detector to detectors/taglist.txt
• copy from another detector: compact.xml, detector.properties, SamplingFractions
• in compact.xml: change name and comment in <info> block
• in detector.properties: change name, change ConditionsReader if necessary (TestRunConditionsReader for 2012 test run, HpsConditionsReader for 2014 run) - both of these lines are required
• use GeomConverter to make LCDD file: see below
