# 200728: Software Meeting

Agenda: https://indico.cern.ch/event/942555/

Connected:
Present: Erica, Ulrike, Andre, Placido, Matthias

Apologies: Philipp

## Muon Collider Meeting

* https://indico.cern.ch/event/939986/


## Snowmass

* Snowmass energy frontier workshop:
    * July 20-22
    * MC group will present plans
    * https://indico.fnal.gov/event/43963/

* Plans for tutorial for Snowmass?
    * None, unless explicit interest

* August 10-11 Computational Frontier WS

* CLIC LoI?

## MC Generators

## Simulation

* Erica: Issue with simulation of muons with fixed pT?
    * observed different duplicate vs phi using different muon simulation runs
    * Still waiting for tracking validation package

* ~~DD4hep: add new tag (v01-13) to spack~~
* https://github.com/AIDASoft/DD4hep/releases/tag/v01-13-01

## Reconstruction

* Missing default input file
* https://github.com/iLCSoft/CLICPerformance/issues/131

### Tracking

* A: Playing with IDEA detector and extrapolation of track little by little -> need validation tool to check performance

### Particle Flow

### Digitizer

* TODO: Prepare dE/dx plots for stub tracks
* At the moment, store "energy deposit / pathlength" for simtracker hits belonging to one Track (SiTracks_Refitted)

### Event Display

### FlavourTagging

### Long-Lived Particle

* Slides from Ulrike:
    * Matthias: a track can also be associated to a PFO if pT < 1.5 GeV. Check if there is an energy cluster with `getCluster()`
    * Andre: for the LCRelation of `RecHit` and `SimHit` the digitizer make a relation 1 to 1
    * Andre: Plot all individual dE/dx hits as well
    * Ulrike: look into dE/dx at the truth level? and plot the weight vs p (are there > or < 1 or both?) and p/m for different lifetime sample?
    * Andre: get dE/dx produced only by SimHits of MC chargino and plot it vs truth momentum / beta?
    * Ulrike: check if the re-weight should be in the rest frame instead of in the lab frame
    * Andre: sigma_pT of the track is better for 1GeV track coming from overlay which are 'real'

 

## Infrastructure

* Spack recipes:
    * Added recipes for ConformalTracking and dependencies
        * https://github.com/key4hep/k4-spack/pull/29
    * VV will add recipes for all other ilcsoft packages


## iLCDirac

* New version coming ASAP
    * DiracOS v1r11 tested
* Calice moving from LCG FileCatalog to DFC, keep v6r22 with lcg bundles, because those contain LFC bindings still

## key4hep

### podio/edm4hep/core/nightlies

#### EDM4hep

### MarlinWrapper

* Preparing improvements PR

#### LCIO <-> EDM4hep conversions

* Conversion service from Gaudi
    * under investigation by Valentin


### Allpix based Digitizer

* Working on simulating with ddsim

### dE/dX

### LCGeo Test

## AOB

### Next Meeting
