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
