Improvements & Requests • Particles score @ reporting plane – hadron runs! • Bug fixing • CU container volume in XML – in progress • CU position & orientation • New Pipeline runs • Alternative Physics Lists – in progress • BeamtestTuple fill • Documentation update • SPS simulations • CU dummy CAL • Dumper position change – to be done • PS setup change – in progress • Ancillary detectors Simulation and Digi/Recon • More positions and angles? – more to come • Fill confluence!
Test Beam Simulations • We need feedback from users! • CCB group needed
G4 validation • One of the main goals of Test Beam • Special studies (e.g. positron annihilations) • General studies • Multiple Scattering at different energies • EM shower properties in CAL & bottom TKR • Hadronic showers? • TKR Clusters & Delta rays production • Needs • Description of Beam (first few days) • Geometry validation (BeamTest and CU) • Statistical significant variables …
Simulation Overview • Goal of simulation is to produce “raw data”, representing the response of the LAT to a given event, which can be fed to the reconstruction • Logically breaks into four steps: • Event generation – “source particle” • Simulation of LAT response to the generated event • Digitization: the conversion of simulated LAT response to “raw data” • Simulation of Trigger Tracy at DC2 kickoff
LAT GeometrySimulation and Reconstruction • Main Point: • Most detailed LAT geometry to date including all features • From active devices • To surrounding support structures • Including electronics, wrapping, … • etc. • Large number of updates to geometry • Primarily CAL and ACD • Still working on improvements for DC-3: • e.g. Curved ACD tiles • One other important point: • The reconstruction, through the propagator, uses the same geometry as the simulation • Geometry for CU?
