SFT/Key4hep Meeting
===
Attendees: Benedikt, Andre, Swathi, Yurii, Jenny, Juan, Leonhard, Carsten,
Apologies:
Date: June 20, 2023
## Round The Table
#### Benedikt
* Frame: Waiting for feedback on the metadata,
* Implement the metadata conversion in the converters
#### Swathi
* All major overlaps removed from the CLD_LAr detector
* [ ] PR:
* Shared steering file with Brieuc
#### Yurii
* Trying to write files with the python interfaces, but no output files are generated. Under investigation.
* Then move to implement some Gaudi Algorithm
#### Jenny
* New LCIO to EDM4hep converter presentation
* See slides attached from Finn Johannsen (?)
* ECFA Reconstruction Workshop July 11--12 is open
* https://indico.cern.ch/event/1283129/
* ECFA Paestum Workshop, October 11--13, is also open
* https://agenda.infn.it/event/34841/
* Abstract deadline: July 15
* Includes a Key4hep tutorial on October 10
#### Juan
* CEPC Workshop in Edinburgh, July 3--6
* New test for podio/EDM4hep backward compatibility (see slides)
* subdetectorHitNumbers renaming (capitalisation) breaks.
* The member no longer has any content
* Working on Presentation for EP RnD Software meeting
#### Leonhard
- Generation of tracking performance plots for the CLD detector
- For `LCIO` input the relations look correct both with old and new conversion
- New conversion still broken on `edm4hep` input
- E.g., relation to MCParticles when convertiong back from LCIO cannot be resolved, because original EDM4hep::MCParticle is not known
- Will try to just get them done now with `LCIO` input
- $WW/e\nu W$ benchmark analysis
- No progress, still need to fix $\varphi^*$
- Try out on reconstructed data after performance plots above
- ACTS tracking
- Tried (to try) out `k4ActsTracking` but did not make it far, looks like there is a naming conflict (`GeoService`)
- There is also much more unmerged stuff in the development fork
- Summer Student
- "Including time information in track reconstruction for future colliders"
- Starts next Monday
- I guess we should discuss the topic a bit more soon?
- FCC Software Meeting talk 26.06. (also next Monday)
- "Status of CLD tracking"
- "Guidance on what to use, known issues/tricks, what results you can get in term of reconstructed tracks"
#### Carsten
* Converted LCIO files to EDM4hep
* Implementing first Gaudi Algorithm based on k4-project-template
* Segmentation fault
## TODO
* CLD Reco
* [ ] CLDConfig Repository
* [ ] Save history from ClicPerformance of FCCConfig
