Near Detector Software Workshop

Wednesday 24 Jul 2019, 08:00 → 18:00 US/Central

https://fnal.zoom.us/j/371567350 (Fermilab)

Alan Bross (Fermilab), Mathew Muether (Whichita State)

The goal of this workshop is to review the status of the near detector software and plan for the next steps focusing on integration.

08:30 → 09:45 ND Software Overview

This session will for on the general status of the ND SW systems and goals for integration moving forward.

08:30 Goals and Plans

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.
