Description
The Muon Digitization is the simulation of the Raw Data Objects (RDO), or the
electronic output, of the Muon Spectrometer. It has been recently completely
re-written to run within the Athena framework and to interface with the Geant4 Muon
Spectrometer detector simulation.
The digitization process consists of two steps: in the first step, the output of the
detector simulation, henceforth referred to as Muon Hits, is converted to muon
digits, i.e., intermediate objects that can be fed into the reconstruction. In the
second step, the muon digits are converted into RDO, the transient representation of
raw the data byte stream.
We will describe the detailed implementation of the first step of the muon
digitization, where the detector simulation output is "digitized" into muon digits.
We will describe the fundamentals of the Muon Digitization algorithms, outlining the
global structure of the Muon Digitization, with some emphasis on the simulation of
piled-up events. We will also describe the details of the digitization validation
against the Monte Carlo information.
