- Last week's release v06_76_00_01 (May 15)
- Last week's release v06_77_00 (See release notes for changes)
- This week's release will have several breaking changes:
- ticket 17179: DetectorClocks moved to
lardataalg
- ticket 18137: Remove 2nd argument from geo::GeometryCore::WirePitch()
- ticket 18136: Fix design faw in geo::ChannelMapAlg interface
- ticket 19313: Input histogram fles to SingleGen:
Conclusions
- Need experiment signoff before proceeding with v06_76_00_01, test release for art 2.11.02
- Please see slides for detailed update
- Replace UPS with an off-the-shelf build/packaging/deployment system based on Spack.
- Produce an “MVP†– Minimum Viable Product: The purpose is to let experiments experiment with the software stack.
- Currently external packages and art suite are built and all tests passing
- No guarantee that everything will eventually work out
- [Herbert Greenlee] Is ups going away entirely? Originally said that it would remain for user environment configuration
- [Jim Amundson] Yes. There is no value added. But he took responsibility for those earlier comments.
- [Tom Junk] : Equivalent to ups list, ups active, etc.
- Acknowledged, and will plan on providing these tools.
- More discussion
- Spack was put together from the perspective of HPC admin and we have brought in a lot of new perspectives and provided feedback that have been received positively.
- There was interest in Spack by multiple groups during early HSF packaging group discussions
Conclusions
- optical Pyhsics very important in Geant4
- Want to see photon propagation / visibility calculation moved into Geant4
- N2 concentration in LAr is a strong determinant of absorption length. Published values are too short for our detectors. But those are for welding grade LAr. Our detectors have lower N2 spec, so have 30+ m absorption lengths
- Rayleigh scattering is important. Changes arrival times and locations by a lot
- [Tom Junk]: Spectrum of LAr scintillation line is 3 nm. This is significant given steepness of index of refraction at scintillation wavelength.
- [Hans]: agree. The line is simulated as a Gaussian shape, he believes.
Conclusions
There are minutes attached to this event.
Show them.
