DD4hep Developers Meeting
zoom
Please Join DD4hep developer's meeting via Zoom
Present: M.Frank, A.Sailer, C.Vuosalo
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)
1.3) PluginFactoryBase::make_return problem with longs (Issue 875)
1.4) ROOT issue: for G4 units the radiation/interaction length is wrong by a factor 10
-- For CMS this problem does not show up.
-- Should only enter AFTER simulation (Geant4 materials do not have the radiation length as input)
-- Need to address this issue early next year.
1.5) Proposal to configure special material properties (Birk's constant.) (Issue 890)
-- Waiting for user feedback (implementation).
1.6) Request to investigate issue 879. But not too urgent.
2) Closed issues and fixed problems
----
2.1) DDG4: Isotropic gun distribution also forces uniform momentum distribution #862
==> Waiting for Wouter to provide PR
==> Solved by PR 892
2.2) Need to address issue 844. Warning messages are annoying.
2.3) DD4POD: Waiting for PR from Whitney.
Issue dropped, because EIC-Athena moved to EDM4Hep.
2.4) Fixes to DDEve: Factory name mismatches (Issue 893, PR 894).
2.5) Problems with ROOT-python compatibilities (issue 842)
==> Waiting for Paul to provide a PR
3) Round table
----
3.1) Markus: See above
3.2) Andre: -Talk requested: "DD4Hep for HSF Simulation Working Group"
Scheduled for early May.
Need to define the major topics - also with respect to ROOT7
To be elaborated at the next meeting.
-New tag coming up: 1.20.1
3.3) Carl: NTR.
4) AOB
