Release and project report (Erica)
  • No comments / questions

 
Particle bomb generator (Andy Furmanski)
  • Lynn will test against dunetpc
  • Andy will add comments to top of file w configuration information
  • Ready to be merged — approved pending successful tests

 
CORSIKAGen timing fix (Matt Bass)
  • Fixed bug that produced a bump in the event 
  • Already merged.
 
 
Tool interfaces for ADC simulation and response functions (David Adams)
  • Introduce interfaces for response functions and ADC simulation for DUNE
  • Implemented as art tools for DUNE ADCs
    • Configure for different chip versions via fhicl
  • Minimized dependencies
    • Goal is to allow use of tool implementation within a test stand, gallery or some other minimal framework / development environment, and within LArSoft module using a shared code repository (so zero code changes required between the two environments)
  • Introduced a new tool manager class that creates tool instances based on a mapping specified in fhicl
  • Requested place to put the interfaces and tool manager. 
  • Approved the following plan
    • Create lartoolobj repository
      • Move tool interfaces and the tool manager here
      • Only dependency will be lardataobj
    • Create larsimtools
      • Move ACD simulation tool implementations here
      • Only dependency will be lartoolobj
    • Include these repositories in the next LArSoft integration release (this week)
      • Non-breaking for LArSoft. DUNE will manage the breakage there.
    • Should the size of those repositories become too large of the number of dependencies increase, then will re-structure so as to 
    • Discuss with art team the possibility of adopting too manager
