Montpelier

  • Montpelier will have a full-time programmer, Claudia Lavalley, starting beginning of December. She will be available to work on GCR calib tasks
  • It should be possible to run GCR-related simulations on the Lyon farm. We need to investigate this possibility. Also, we need to establish a way to move large files back and forth efficiently, regardless of where runs take place.

NRL

  • Andrey continues to work on GCR rates via Gleam.
    • With help from Tracy and Francesco, he is closer to being able to get particle IDs from MCIntegratingHits
    • His findings on file sizes and Gleam performance make the following points clear:
      • Files produced (esp. mc.root) are HUGE. We can deal with this in several ways:
        • Prune files
        • Focus incident particles on certain types of interest (e.g. Fe) rather than the entire suite of CRHeavyIonPrimary particles
        • Create specialized data products (i.e. tuples). This is what Andrey is doing via UserAlg
      • TKR Recon is very slow on these events (due to large number of delta electron hits). We need to deal with this somehow (e.g. specialized path through Recon?)
  • Eric Grove suggests that FIFO overflow in the TKR may result in events with only the lower layers read out. Can this be incorporated into the simulation for investigation?
  • Mark needs to produce the next step in planning/tasks by approx. 1 Dec.
