Follow-up PandaRoot meeting: Wednesday 2nd of December, 10-12
type: item
description: Dear all, Tomorrow we will have a follow-up PandaRoot EVO meeting from 10-12 (the latest). During the last meeting we were discussing to refresh the macros and tutorials of the pandaroot /trunk branch with the aim to come with a "one-in-all macro". Meanwhile, quite some progress has been made in this direction, which we can discuss tomorrow. Furthermore, we will continue the discussion on the stability of the code. I hope you can all make it tomorrow.... Greetings, Johan.

Action points towards next release....
type: item
description: Dear all, Let me briefly summarize the decisions we made in the past two EVO meetings to reach to a next production release. Macros and all that... remove obsolete macros.... done (all). update example macros.... done (all). all-in-one macros with complete setup, digitization, reconstruction.... done (Mohammad). update tutorial macros.... done (Klaus). compiled version of corresponding macros.... available, not tested (Bertram, Elwin). Request for complete macros with ideal track finding algorithms. Most detectors have these and will provide example macros for their system.... to be done. For complete macros, a switch will be incorporated to enable EvtGen, DPM, and box generators.... done (Mohammad). Example all-in-one macros based on fastsim.... done (Mohammad, Klaus). Get all QA macros working.... in progress (all). Code stability Resolve conflict magnet coils and MDT.... still to be done (Mohammad, Tobias). GEANE crashing.... still to be done (Alberto, Lia, et al.) Transport code tuning Default settings not changed, responsibility of detector systems Tune cut-offs etc. for each detector system.... mostly done, EMC? TPC requests to use by default G3, which is acceptable by other detectors. Update documentation Update charmonium tutorial http://panda-wiki.gsi.de/cgi-bin/viewauth/Computing/PandaRootCharmoniumT utorial .... in progress (Soeren) ...to be discussed on next meeting.... Is there anything I missed? If so, let me know. Kind wishes, Johan.

description: Hello, I have one remark concerning the tuning of the G3/4 cuts. For the EMC we need a deeper understanding of test beam data and how MC compares to it. Vanni is working on this issue using Proto60 data. Especially for G3 we have no good starting values and it could take some time to come to final results. I guess this is out of the scope for the next stable release and it was not my impression that this should be already go to the next release. Best regards, Marc

description: Hi all, Quote: Update documentation 1. Update charmonium tutorial http://panda-wiki.gsi.de/cgi-bin/viewauth/Computing/PandaRootCharmoniumT utorial .... in progress (Soeren) for this one Klaus Goetzen and I talked and decided that it is better to change significantly (or better, to merge with the tutorials from Krakow and Torino to one single beginners' tutorial, which a.) works and b.) stays more or less the same for the next 1-2 years). a.) The main purpose is to go one stop beyond a running macro, i.e. not just blindly run a macro as a black box, but also to take a look inside, and see, how to change e.g. from box generator to EvtGen or to DpmGen. b.) to give some basic troublshooting help with running EvtGen and all the things that could happen there (libPythia, libg2c, etc.) c.) The tutorial right now still uses we TpcLheTracks. as it was for a very early version of PandaRoot, when we didn't have TCandidates. So we will change that now. cheers, Soeren (& Kaus)

description: Hi Marc, Here you are right. We indeed have to tune the transport model to reproduce the prototype data. That is an absolute must. Lets see what we will learn in the course of time.... Greetings, Johan
