Please Join DD4hep developer's meeting via Zoom
A. Sailer, C. Vuosalo, F. Gaede, M. Frank, T. Madlener, V. Voelkl
1) Pending problems
1.1) Pending problems reported by Sang Hyun Ko:
- Cannot setup Birk's constant as material property.
- No analogy to G4PVParametrized. Unclear if a solution is possible.
1.2) Add GFlash parameterisation to DDG4 (issue #802).
1.4) Simulation instability in CMS
1.5) Subtraction/ExtrudedPolygons: https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw/issues/33656 (Carl to open an issue in DD4hep)
1.6) Positioning of sensitive volumes: issue #822
2) Closed issues and fixed problems
2.1) Divided volumes (issue 833). Solved - volume divisions are not real volumes
though they come in the dress of a TGeoVolume. They are however not supposed to be
physically placed.
2.2) CMS problem with subtraction - cause not confirmed. Needs further investigation.
2.3) PowerPC segment violations in CMS. Floating point exceptions from arithmetic
processor in CMS-sw code.
3) Round table
Markus: Question of collaboration from University of Tiflis/Georgia about
integration of CATIA with DD4hep. Including software supported
geometry simplifications to speed up simulation.
Ianna: Not connected
Carl: NTR
Andre: NTR
Marko: Not connected
Thomas: NTR
Valentin:
* Want to have self reproducible files, including configuration in the file itself. How to include the complete compact XML as a string?
* Frank: for iLCSoft/ddsim store the ddsim steering file including compact file
Frank: Had a meeting with LuxE experiment proposed for the X-FEL. Fixed target experiment, bit of magnetic field + tracker and calorimeter. Pointed them towards DD4hep to describe detector model.
