Summary of WP2 Plenary meeting at Kick-off AIDA meeting P. Mato/CERN, F. Gaede/DESY
Agenda WP2 Session AIDA WP2
Goals – ‘Common Software” • Develop core software tools that are useful for the HEP community at large and in particular for the next big planned projects: sLHC and Linear Collider (ILC/CLIC) AIDA WP2
Partners (lead beneficiary) CERN DESY CERN, DESY, LLR, UniGla, STFC DESY, CERN, OeAW, KFKI Ucam, LLR, CERN, INFN, NTU, KFKI CERN, DESY, LLR, UniGla, STFC DESY, CERN, OeAW, KFKI Ucam, LLR, CERN, UniGla STFC Deliverables for WP2 AIDA WP2
Overall Strategy • We committed ourselves to write re-usable and generic code that can be used later by the HEP community • All partner are involved in ongoing projects and develop their code in the corresponding context (ILC, sLHC) • We need to make sure that the developments are designed such that we address the current needs in these activities, while at the same time we pay attention to provide the toolkits in a standalone and well documented way • Often the developments will be done to address an immediate need for a given experiment/project but the intention is to deliver later a ‘standalone’ packaging of it fully reusable AIDA WP2
Organizational Matters • Work package coordinators: Pere Mato (CERN), Frank Gaede(DESY) • Sub-tasks: • (1) Geometry, (2) Tracking, (3) Particle Flow, (4) Alignment, (5) Pile-up, PID and PR Algorithms • Coordinators will be identified • Meetings: • Face-to-Face meetings every 6 months (one coinciding with annual AIDA meeting) • At the beginning every 2 months phone/video meetings • Web site and mailing lists: • Web is already available • Collecting data to build initial mailing lists AIDA WP2
AIDA WP2 PARTICIPANTS PLANS
Geometry Primitives Library AIDA WP2
Requirements New Toolkit AIDA WP2
Geometry Toolkit • Needs to be completed with a number of tools for • Persistency • Exchange format • Visualization • Transformation from high-level to detailed geometry • Transformation to adequate format to be used by reconstruction algorithms • Alignment support • Avoiding overlaps • Etc. AIDA WP2
Alignment Tools • Development of common alignment methods • Repository of algorithms AIDA WP2
Tracking Tools • Development of a ‘palette’ of tracking tools covering most of the tracking detectors (TPC, pixels, DT, ...) • Targeting detector design and optimization studies AIDA WP2
Tracking Tools Strategy • From now – early 2012, to be used for the ILD DBD • Experience gained will be used for the AIDA deliverable AIDA WP2
RAL Contribution • RAL will make contributions to both work packages Geometry and Reconstruction AIDA WP2
INFN Contribution AIDA WP2
Particle Flow AIDA WP2
PFA Software AIDA WP2
PFA Plans AIDA WP2
LLR Contribution AIDA WP2
MTA-KFKI Contribution • Vertexing and PID Algorithm development AIDA WP2
NTUA Contribution • Development pattern recognition algorithms AIDA WP2
AIDA WP2 Conclusions
Main Challenges Ahead • Make a coherent program of work out of these apparently disconnected plans • The accepted strategy • Develop with ‘generality’ in mind while designing concrete solutions to particular needs from ILC/CLIC and sLHC • Repackage/document it as a generic solution • Ensure the adequate connections between WP2/WP9/WPx • Coding standards & conventions that we wish to enforce across the collaboration • Many technical details still to be defined • Standalone tools without large duplications • Dependency of a framework? • Languages supported • … AIDA WP2
