Lists of Project Ideas
A list of specific issues was compiled at the ALCPG Simulation and Reconstruction Workshop.
Jeremy McCormick maintains a list of project ideas. (Real bugs and feature requests go into the Jira.)
Some Example
...
Projects
- Geometry System in Reconstruction
- allow geometries to come from multiple input files
- improve interoperability
- access Mokka or JUPITER geometry data
- ID decoding for detectors not run with SLIC
...
- Simulation Validation
- investigate and characterize effects of range cuts and physics limits on Geant4 simulation
- comparison of different physics lists (preferarably with real data, too)
- single particle response of h0, in particular
- Event Generation
- python wrapper to the different generators used at ILC, e.g. Pythia, Isajet, etc.
- SUSY StdHep files for benchmarks
- Testbeam
- use JAS3 and org.lcsim to create a data analysis application for the Calorimeter testbeam
- do some analysis on real ECAL data
- AIDA (+ Plotting)
- binary data format in order to store Ntuples
- 3D plotting
