Description

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.
