Attendees: Andre, Leonhard, Anna, Mateusz, Carsten, Brieuc, Alvaro, Juan, Juraj, 

Apologies: Swathi, Benedikt, 

Date: December 5, 2023

## News

## Round The Table

### Carsten

### Juan

* New release for Key4hep: Alma9, Ubuntu22, CentOS7
    * Conflicts for e.g., ju-pytext needing specific pip range
    * Release with debug symbols?
* podio QoL improvements: faster podio-dump startup
* PodioWriter/Reader interface
* Build with Debug-Symbols
    * Subset of packages with debug symbols
* Reimplemented downstream builds to get dependencies from spack and then build via for-loop

### Mateusz

* Investigating how to monitor transient data store
* Fixing typos in documentation

### Brieuc

* Driftchamber implementation: using rotated tubes, instead of intersection solids which was using too much memory
* Wires are fine, but the gas volume around the wires has a complicated shape. Did not want to use virtual segmentation for this
* Decided to use ddsim for full simulation for all detectors

### Alvaro

* Vecgeom navigation in tesselated solids is not working
* Tesselated solids scales with the square number of nodes (e.g., CAD beampipe)
    * Try with incoherent pairs in the beampipe to see the speed
    * Facets are too small in some cases 1e-15 mm

### Anna

* Debug build would be useful
* Working with OpenDataDetector
* How to attach two Sensitive Detectors to the same volume?
    * One fast one full simulation

### Andre

* NTR

### Leonhard

* Using iLCSoft Track Reconstruction with the OpenDataDetector
* There will be ACTS track fits in this year
* New ACTS geometry model coming soon (TM)

### Juraj

* Storing metadata for event filter
