  1. Software Overview • Simulation Status • Reconstruction Status • Unpacking Library • Tracker Data Format • Real Data (DATE) • GRID • External libraries • Software Schools • Next Steps M. Ellis - CM21 - 7th June 2008

  2. Simulation Status • No major changes recently to the code, focus on experimental descriptions. • Yordan is working on a model of the CKOV mirror. • Kenny is implementing the IC and FNAL beam monitors. • Adam is checking the positions and orientation of the beam line elements (now that we have the survey information). M. Ellis - CM21 - 7th June 2008

  3. Reconstruction Status • Aron is making progress on the KEK test beam analysis (combination of TOF and Tracker reconstruction). • Mark has written code to take reconstructed TOF space point information and determine the momentum of a particle for an assumed particle mass. • Work is in progress to prepare a number of schemes for determining emittance and other beam parameters from the TOF detectors alone for the summer. M. Ellis - CM21 - 7th June 2008

  4. Reconstruction Status M. Ellis - CM21 - 7th June 2008

  5. Unpacking Library • Jean-Sebastien has produced the first version of a library that is the sole source of unpacking code for both the online monitoring and offline code in G4MICE. • Tamas and Yordan have made the necessary changes to G4MICE to allow this new library to be used. M. Ellis - CM21 - 7th June 2008

  6. Tracker Data Format • Some code has been written to unpack the new data format from the AFEIIt boards for the tracker. • At the moment this is used as a stand-alone program, however it will be incorporated into the unpacker to allow it to be used online and offline once it has had some more thorough testing. M. Ellis - CM21 - 7th June 2008

  7. Unpacked Tracker LED Data M. Ellis - CM21 - 7th June 2008

  8. Real Data (DATE) • G4MICE can now read the data format produced by the DAQ (DATE). • Yordan has implemented the necessary code in G4MICE to take the output of the unpacking library and generate C++ classes used by G4MICE. • The DATE format unpacking can be selected by setting the data card “DataType” to “DATE”. M. Ellis - CM21 - 7th June 2008

  9. GRID • We have had several new CEs added to the MICE VO (Oxford, RHUL, ScotGRID and Glasgow). • I will try to complete installing G4MICE version 1-9-5 on these CEs in the coming week or two. • David has been making progress with GRID storage and he and Mark have been using the GRID for a number of studies (alignment and MICE step III) M. Ellis - CM21 - 7th June 2008

  10. GRID M. Ellis - CM21 - 7th June 2008

  11. External Libraries • I have not made much progress in the past couple of months, however Tamas has been working on the new compiler, GEANT4, etc and has a working version. • I want to complete one more System Test (to allow us to check on any effects caused by changing G4) before we make the migration. M. Ellis - CM21 - 7th June 2008

  12. Software Schools • A combined introduction to C++ and G4MICE school was held at Fermilab in mid March. • I will try to arrange a repeat of this school at RAL in July. • By the end of the school, you will be sufficiently familiar with C++ and G4MICE to perform your own simulation and analyse data. • Please let me know if you are interested in attending. • I will also try to hold a more advanced C++ course later in the year. M. Ellis - CM21 - 7th June 2008

  13. Next Steps • Focus continues to be on requirements for data taking and analysis as the rest of the MICE instrumentation arrives at RAL. • Key areas will be: • Database • Expanding use of the GRID • Preparations for data taking / data transfer at RAL • Use of G4MICE for analysis M. Ellis - CM21 - 7th June 2008
