  • MUON developments (Florian)
    • how to import the muon geometry?
    • details on geo in AliRoot, classes, ...
      • too many abstact/helper classes
      • get rid of them moving to o2
      • electronics to be replaces
    • slat-geo to be redone from sratch
      • many lines, constants, not well commented
      • details on slat-geo in o2 and why better than before (AliRoot)
      • JSON for parameters, very useful
        • first use for geo application
        • MFT uses xml
        • how much overhead for parsing wrt c++? compare o2/AliRoot? did not compare yet
        • JSON written by hand, can be transformed in c++ to speed up?
          • likely timing not a problem
    • how to compare geo with AliRoot and validate?
      • macro to test, simulate particles xssing different material
      • need to integrate geo in simulation
    • first PR? or continue until all in place?
      • better to be able to have hits before pushing
    • estimate on timeline for that?
      • hits, before end of May

 

  • FIT developments (Alla)
    • details on what FIT is
    • FIT in AliRoot for performance studies
    • FIT in o2, only T0+
      • hits, xy distros, time
      • hits, all photo-e
      • digits
        • PMT time of 1st particles
        • gaus-smearing
        • amplitude, sum of photo-e
      • details on calibration
      • details on reconstruction
      • details on MC tune on data
    • FIT (T0+) hits in o2 ready to use
    • simplified digitisation 
    • V0 geometry not implemented in o2, in real life T0+ and V0 are geo-coupled 

 

  • MC tuning (Benedikt)
    • what and why to optimise
      • monitor steps in G3/G4
        • many steps outside detectors, in cave volume
        • calls to B where not there
    • steps in G3/G4
      • G3 lots of steps outside detectors, G4 many less
      • but G4 in general more steps -> more steps in sensitive detectors?
    • current cave
      • huge cave volume, compared to detectors 
      • can we modify cave to fit outermost detector?
    • custom cuts/process settings 
    • recent fix in G4 VMC for interpretation of cuts, good to do further tests 

 

  • AoB (Bogdan)
    • tool to check material budget
