Jeremy McCormick's ToDo List

Event Generation

• WHIZARD
  • setup on SLAC PRJ area
  • generate new files for GeV = 350, 500, 1000 w/ TB
• HERWIG
  • setup on SLAC PRJ area

Simulation Apps

• Sim ToDo List in CVS: $SLIC_BASE/doc/sim_TODO.rtf
  • contains most items for SLIC / LCDD and some GDML
• SLIC
  • general code review of Monte Carlo handling w/ RC
  • optimized build on noric for NG's jobs
• local MySQL install for Mokka batch jobs using lsf
• momentum of hit for SimTrackerHit requested by NG
• Cygwin build use "-mno-cygwin" for standalone binaries

Simulation Jobs

• SLIC
  • rangecut, steplen investigations with RC
  • ILC500 / 1000 jobs with SDJan03, SDFeb05 detectors
• BDSim
  • setup at SLAC
• performance evaluation
  • SLIC vs. LCDG4
• SiD, GLD, D11 comparison
  • tubs models
  • Pflow
  • Eres

GDML

• AGDD features
  • xi:include
  • arrays
  • iterators
• autoconf build system
• Java bindings
• formal extension mechanism
• merging different GDML files into one logical file (Java)
• common materials, elements include file (mostly for compact description)

Compact Detectors and GeomConverter

• synchronize LCDetectors with lcsim.org/detectors
  • requires ant job to bundle from LCDetectors into zip file
• D11
  • model D11 in Mokka DB
• GLD
  • prim constants from JLC*ParameterList files in JUPITER source
• utilities
  • info "extrapolator" to make super-compact description in HTML (use XSLT)
• Norman's requests
  1. verbatim include or reference to GDML for BDS, MDI system and supports
  2. abstract layering engine
  3. "robustify" nonprojective segmentation
• Tony's requests
  1. non-cylindrical shapes demo
  2. interface between org.lcsim and compact
  3. schema-fy compact description where possible
  4. new SDJan03 matching LCDG4's
  5. SiD repr w/ cylinders
  6. graphical repr of zip resources (constants, geo, etc.)

Other Detector Models and Components

• MDI-BDS system

Reconstruction

• NonprojectiveCylinder segmentation support (w/ GL)
• continue discussions on common geo API with TJ, NG, GL, TB, FG, et al.
• RCP file support with processor name as Java class w/o org.lcsim
  • parameters with INI, attributes file, etc
  • simple list of processors and parameters
  • analysis manager loads the processors by org.lcsim.package.classname
  • could be Python code

JAS3

• ipython support via Jython
• improve windowing
  • minimize, maximize
• improve performance
• class browser
• HTML help
• customizable palettes of buttons rather than menus

Docs and WWW

• www-lcsim
  • www.lcsim.org in sync w/ CVS
  • talk with TJ and NG about cleanup, autoupdate method, etc.
• docbook
  • working XML, XSLT, FOP toolchain

Admin and MCPrj

• create "mcprj" CVS module (help from TJ)
• setup SLIC at NICADD for batch jobs
• automated nightly build system for SLIC on Windows, Darwin and Linux flavors
