• Utilize the AcdGeometrySvc throughout digitization and reconstruction for consistency.

Calibration

Status

calibGenACD can now produce:

• Pedestals output to XML
• MIP Peak values output to XML

To Do

Create AcdCalibSvc building off of Joanne's Calibration infrastructure.

Reconstruction

Considers all ACD detectors present in the AcdDigiCol, irrespective of the setting of the veto discriminator (hit map bit). This has been confirmed with Bill who explains that we are interested in background rejection at this level and desire to utilize all information available.

Status

• AcdTkrIntersection
• AcdHit collection
  AcdDigis with added calibrated MIP values per PMT
• AcdPoca

• Update Ribbon Active Distance calculation
  Currently views ribbons as lines

System Tests

Status

Working on update to Update generic set of ACD plots to remove by removing old items such as DOCA and add in new variables of interest such as AcdCornerDoca an initial pass is already completed.

Add new sources

• Illuminate full top with normally incident muons.
• Illuminate full X side with normally incident muons
• Illuminate full Y side with normally incident muons
• Noise source which doesn't hit the instrument at all

To Do:

• Add a series of ACD specific systests to exercise the geometry, digitization and reconstruction.
  Already received a few ideas from Bill.
  Illuminate top/sides with patch sources to check location of gaps in the simulated geometry. Similar sources could be used to show how well the digitization algorithms are working.
  We need these benchmarks in place before serious updates to the digitization code begins.

Documentation

To Do

Update reconRootData description to include AcdHit, AcdPoca, AcdTkrIntersection
Update digiRootData description to include the latest methods in AcdDigi.
