Notes from ND Software Integration Workshop:

https://indico.fnal.gov/event/21249/other-view?view=standard

To Do items for integration: in bold

NEED TO SEND DOODLE FOR BI-WEEKLY MEETING

Kazu - ArgonCube SW status

• Wire Simulation in Progress
  • New Branch will be developed
  • 3d handling needs development in LArSofl
• Merging of track stage likely need new effort.

Tom - MPD

• Working to develop more realistic field response in sim
• Additional effort could be used to focus on low momentum “curler” reconstruction

Guang - 3DST

• Need to make sure central values used for flux study are DUNE Standards.
• There was some discuss about whether or not 3DST needs to be part of the unified simulation.
  • Seems important to understand pileup.

Chris Marshal - LBL

• For TDR (1 year)
  • Need full ND sim reco
  • End-to-end PRISM
  • Reconstruction capable of assessing realistic systematics

Animesh - BSM

• This group needs MC Generators and to move to a reco based assessment by TDR.

ND Physics (Tips more Minerva)

• Need framework to handle/store systematics from multiverse and standard setups.
• Make sure we plan early to integrate reco between detectors.

GEOMETRY

• We need a GDML merger with Overlap checker
  • Each detector needs a well defined volume to develop,
  • Contact Hans and Adam (g-2) for advice/recommendations.
  • Coordinate system
    • This need to be well define and common across groups. (Watch for “magic” directions)
    • Need a Hall geometry.
  • Setup a Umbrella repository
    • Move to git to use tools for distributing large files?
  • Versioning?
    • Distinct naming convention.
    • Geometry stored in Data File?

Other considerations for Unified Simulation/Framework

• Event display
• Framework comments
  • Should be robust, last into the 2020s
• Computing- What’s are expected data volume:
  • Need to report in August at computing workshop.
• Generators
  • Genie
  • Other neutrino interaction generators (Neut, NuWro, etc)
    • Extracting data to refill stripped GENIE event records is likely the path forward.
  • Cosmics, Rock event
    • Generate to detector boundaries and save in genie event record for overlays.
• Reconstruction
  • Make sure everyone is doing something compatible with ART.
