  1. Detector description language news

  2. Topics • News of the geometry • No more need for default attributes • Transformations • Usage • Composition • Boolean solids • Parametrized volumes • Trapezoids • News of detector elements • userParameter and userParameterVector • Done / To do list

  3. Default values for attributes • Null or default values are no more needed inside xml • These are mostly : • 0*m for every dimension • 0*degree for every angle • 360*degree for deltaPhiAngle • 180*degree for deltaThetaAngle <tubs name="..." sizeZ = "1*m" innerRadius = "0*m" outerRadius = "1*m" startPhiAngle="0*degree" deltaPhiAngle="360*phi"/> <posXYZ x="0*m" y="1*m" z="0*m"/> <tubs name="..." sizeZ = "1*m" outerRadius = "1*m"/> <posXYZ y="1*m"/> New Way Old Way

  4. Usage of the transformations • No more inside solids but outside • Accepted after every solid (even first one in booleans) • Give position first, rotation afterwards. rotation is applied first. <subtraction name="L"> <box .../> <box ...> <posXYZ .../> </box> </subtraction> <subtraction name="L"> <box .../> <!-- I can put pos and rot here --> <box .../> <posXYZ .../> </subtraction> Old Way New Way

  5. Composition of transformations • A new tag : <transformation> • No attributes, as many children as you want • It just applies the transformation in the order they are given <transformation> <pos ...> <rot ...> <transformation> <pos ...> <rot ...> <pos ...> </transformation> </transformation> 1st 2nd 3rd

  6. Composition of boolean operations • Nothing new but a recursive behavior of booleans. <subtraction name="..."> <union name="..."> <tubs .../> <tubs .../> <posXYZ .../> </union> <intersection name="..."> <tubs .../> <tubs .../> <posXYZ .../> </intersection> </subtraction>

  7. Composition of parametrizations • Nothing new but a recursive behavior of parametrization. <logvol ... name="ppv"> <paramphysvol number="4"> <physvol ... logvol=".../vol"/> <posXYZ y="1*m"/> <rotXYZ rotZ="45*degree"/> </paramphysvol> </logvol> <logvol ... name="pppv"> <paramphysvol number="3"> <physvol nam... logvol=".../ppv"/> <posXYZ/> <rotXYZ rotZ="45*degree"/> </paramphysvol> </logvol>

  8. 2D and 3D parametrizations • New tags : <paramphysvol2D> and <paramphysvol3D> • Special behavior, different from composition • All rotations applied first • Positionning done at the end • The results are "grids" <logvol ... name="ppv2D"> <paramphysvol2D number1="4" number2="4"> <physvol ... logvol=".../vol"/> <posXYZ y="1*m"/> <rotXYZ rotZ="45*degree"/> <posXYZ x="1*m"/> <rotXYZ rotZ="90*degree"/> </paramphysvol2D> </logvol>

  9. Example of 3D parametrization <logvol ... name="ppv3D"> <paramphysvol3D number1="4" number2="4" number3="2"> <physvol ... logvol=".../vol"/> <posXYZ y="1*m"/> <rotXYZ rotZ="45*degree"/> <posXYZ x="1*m"/> <rotXYZ rotZ="90*degree"/> <posXYZ x=".5*m" y=".5*m"/> <rotXYZ rotZ="180*degree"/> </paramphysvol3D> </logvol>

  10. General trapezoids • New tag : <trap> with lots of attributes : name, sizeZ, theta, phi, sizeY1, sizeX1, sizeX2, alp1, sizeY2, sizeX3, sizeX4, alp2. • This is exactly the geant general trapezoid. <trap name="trap_sample" sizeZ="12*m" theta="0*degree" phi="0*degree" sizeY1="2*m" sizeX1="2*m" sizeX2="4*m" alp1="0*degree" sizeY2="4*m" sizeX3="4*m" sizeX4="8*m" alp2="0*degree"/>

  11. userParameter / userParameterVector • Two new tags : <userParameter> and <userParameterVector> • Attributes are name, type and comment. All these are strings. • The value is given directly between opening and closing tags. • It is accessible in regular interface IdetectorElement via methods userParameterType, userParameterComment, userParameterValue, userParameter (see next talk) <userParameterVector name="Al_plate_thickness" type="double" comment="blabla"> 1.222*m 1.333*m 1.444*m 1.555*m </userParameterVector> <userParameter name="Al_plate_thickness" type="double" comment="blabla"> 1.2222*mm </userParameter>

  12. To be done / discussed • Concerning geometry • Test general trapezoids • Discuss the memory problem for parametrized physical volumes • Be able to reload xml in GaudiLab (most of the work in DetDesc) • Usage of a transformation for the first solid in a boolean • Compile and test everything under windows • Problems with GaudiLab (stability, boolean operations, ...) • Concerning structure • Discuss the scope of the <parameter> tag • Improve the <userParam(Vector)> tag
