  1. Offline Software Introduction • In this Session: • Software Releases • Update from Chris • Tracker Software • CKOV Software • TOF Software • KL Software • EMR Software • Online Reconstruction • Database will be covered • in the next session. M.Ellis - CM25 - 5th November 2009

  2. Software Releases • Hopefully you’ve received my email, sent last night to the software list. • Here are the details again: • I would like to aim to get the next release out on Thursday 19th November and then have one a month from then on. • For each release, I need to be told the files that have been added, modified or deleted compared with the past release that you want included. • This will be assembled and given a pre-release tag. • We will then perform the testing, make any changes required and then tag the release. M.Ellis - CM25 - 5th November 2009

  3. Software Releases • Detector specific code should go through the appropriate person: • CKOV – Vassil • EMR – Vassil • KL – Mariyan • TOF – Yordan • Tracker – Me • I’ve given up (for now, anyway) on the idea of having a person responsible for each domain, but let me know if you would like to take ownership and we can restart the process. • The deadline for this release for the list of files, etc is Thursday 12th November. M.Ellis - CM25 - 5th November 2009

  4. Update from Chris - Simulation • Mostly cosmetic, see documentation or ask Chris for more details: • MiceModule text file description can be put all in one file • Mice module beam no longer forces you to define a number of events • Enable virtual planes to be defined with arbitrary position and rotation • Extra options added to virtual planes - write in coordinates of virtual detector; ignore particles outside of some radial extent • Option for automatic detection of GEANT4 physical volume overlaps • Option to amalgamate coaxial coils into one field has been made easier • Processing speed optimisation for several coaxial coils • G4MICE now looks for configuration and modules in local directory if it can't find them in the usual places • Attempts to add the same property to a module more than once result in an error message • Some reduction in output gumph • Some documentation tidy-up M.Ellis - CM25 - 5th November 2009

  5. Update from Chris - Analysis • Nothing major, ask Chris for more details: • Extended beam output to ROOT format • Amplitude and emittance units changed • Improved cut on particle amplitudes available • Matcher documentation • Online analysis application improvements • Used during MICE shifts • Reweighting algorithm implemented • But no access from UI yet - need to dip into the code! M.Ellis - CM25 - 5th November 2009

  6. Tracker Software • No significant work since the last CM. • Still a few things that need to be sorted out: • Decoding code needs to be modified to handle 2 trackers. • Improvements to the track fit code from Aron need to be merged into 2.x releases. • Other planned work (e.g. improvements in Digitisation) will require mouse-power to implement. • No doubt more things will become apparent once high rate data with a magnetic field becomes available. M.Ellis - CM25 - 5th November 2009

  7. Miscellaneous AOB • MICE Hall, beamline, detector, etc, geometry is still an orphan. • I have an engineering model from Andy Lintern and access to free software to allow viewing and measurements to be extracted, but we still do not have someone dedicated to the task of ensuring that the G4MICE geometrical model is correct. • There have been discussions of a combined G4MICE/Analysis school to give an introduction to the use of the software for simulation, reconstruction and analysis. • Chris and I can organise this if there is sufficient demand.
