Description
DD4hep is a detector geometry package which can provide
all auxiliary information necessary to process data from
particle collisions in high energy physics such as geometry
and readout information, but also interfaces to conditions
and alignment data. DD4hep supports all data processing
activities of an experiment: simulation, reconstruction
and analysis.
The modeling of the geometry of a detector is entirely
based on the ROOT geometry toolkit TGeo. DD4hep further
extensively uses the ROOT core to allow persistent descriptions
and the pyROOT interface to configure simulation processes
with Geant4. Due to the increasing popularity we would like
to provide our input concerning possible future improvements
or development directions.
