Connected: Andre, Valentin, Placido
Present:
Apologies:
## Snowmass
## MC Generators
* Some issue with using integrated processes, still takes long time when using the files
* Solution proposed by Whizard authors
## Simulation
* Issue with simulation of muons with fixed pT?
* observed different duplicate vs phi using different muon simulation runs
* Maybe different input (not pt, but energy)?
* Different Theta range, 0-90 degrees before, 0-180 degrees now
## Reconstruction
* Missing default input file
* https://github.com/iLCSoft/CLICPerformance/issues/131
* Just put dummy filename, run simulation with ctest
### Tracking
### Particle Flow
### Digitizer
### Event Display
### FlavourTagging
### Long-Lived Particle
### dE/dX
### LCGeo Test
## Infrastructure
## 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
### CI
* https://cern.service-now.com/service-portal?id=ticket&table=u_request_fulfillment&n=RQF1650416
* iLCSoft deployment: https://gitlab.cern.ch/CLICdp/SoftwareConfigurations/iLCSoft
* Nightly build
* Caching of results?
* Buildcache? Not kept up-to-date at the moment
* Relocatability issue
* Packages:
* Base on stable Root and Geant4
* Build everything on top of that
* keep it simple until we can use LCG spack installations
### podio
### EDM4hep
### Core
* k4run
* https://github.com/key4hep/K4FWCore/pull/15/files
* Drop need and use of xenv
### MarlinWrapper
* APS: working on spack recipe fixes to run example
#### LCIO <-> EDM4hep conversions
* Conversion service from Gaudi
* under investigation by Valentin
### spack
* heppdt is "back"
* python version to be made explicit
* Added to packages.yaml
* bug in concretizer that the python versions clash?
* Open issue for spack
### Gaudi
* version 34: xenv script not installed in spack recipe
* Use standalone xenv?
* Don't use xenv
## FCCee Detector Model
* Some drivers used form lcgeo moving to FCC or better DD4hep repository
## SCT Integration
* Issue with compiling DDG4 on novosibirsk cluster
* Added: DDRec DDDetectors UtilityApps
## AOB
### Presentation for Software EP RnD
* Placido and valentin prepare outline, discuss on Friday
