Dear all,

The new External packages (jan10) is now available (see http://fairroot.gsi.de).

In this release:

  1. Improve the installation script and support new system
    • MAC OS X 10.6.x (Snow leoparad)
    • Suse 11.2
    • Ubuntu 9.10
  2. Check for needed system libraries and headers and report if missing
  3. Boost library installation has been minimized
  4. Add Pythia8130 to the external packages
  5. Add GNU Linear Programming Kit (4.39) to the external packages
  6. Geant4 4.9.2.p02 and Geant4 VMC (2.7b): Support production cuts and translation between energy and range cuts for better comparisons between G3 and G4.
  7. ROOT 5.26: see http://root.cern.ch/root/v526/Version526.news.html for new features and improvements.


regards

Mohammad

Many thanks, Mohammad.

For the developers and "up-to-date" users, please try to install the new external packages asap. We can discuss problems in the next PandaRoot meeting (if there are any!). Also note that the new external should fix the Geane bug as well...

Greetings,

Johan.

Hallo,
I just run the Kalman fit on two sets of 2000 muon tracks each to test GEANE and both sets went fine with no crash Smile

I have also the feeling it is much faster... but maybe I am too much optimistic now Smile

Dear all,
what about if some of you, GEANE experts,
run a more realistic case using for example Urqmd or Dpm(not only muons at 1GeV) )to check the stability of geane?

that would be great.Wink

best regards
ALicia S.

Hi,
I have simulated 500 events with psi' -> J/psi pi+ pi-.
At event 238 I have a crash in FairGeaneUtil:

Toggle Spoiler


But I think the problem comes from LheKalmanTask, and not from Geane. Tomorrow I will try to investigate about.

Hi all,

with the new external packages I can not compile the EvtGen package:

[olaf@pc43 EvtGen]$ make bin
gcc -L. -L/usr/lib64/cernlib/2006/lib/ -L/home/olaf/fairsoft/cern/clhep/lib -L/home/olaf/fairsoft/tools/root/lib -lRIO -lSQL -lNet -o testEvtGen testEvtGen.o -lEvtGen -lEvtGenModels -lEvtGenBase -lCLHEP -l -lpdflib804 -lpacklib -lmathlib -lphotos202 -lCore -lCint -lHist -lGraf -lGraf3d -lGpad -lTree -lRint -lPostscript -lMatrix -lPhysics -ldl -lg2c -lnsl -lm -lMathCore -lThread
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lSQL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

libSQL.so is present in the july09 root version, but not in the current one ...

Cheers
Olaf.

Hi Olaf,

First of all EvtGen is not part of PandaRoot or fair external packages, So may be it would be even better to remove it from pandaroot svn and put it somewhere else.

I never understood why it need SQL? in fact it does not but the the library is linked there in the config.mk, so please remove it from there! if you are using g77 then that is it, otherwise you have to remove also the libg2c and replace it with libgfortran.


cheers,

Mohammad

libSQL was required by ROOT since v5.16.
If it is not needed anymore, we could remove it from the configuration script.

Hi,

Be-aware that we decided to keep as much as possible the compatibility with the old external packages for the time being. Maybe it would be good if we update the installation wiki page concerning EvtGen where we can indicate the changes etc. Of course the best would be if we could improve the building system for EvtGen in the course of time.... I will start defining a workpackage on this, since the installation of EvtGen keeps on bugging us.

Done: http://panda-wiki.gsi.de/cgi-bin/view/Computing/WorkPackageEvtGenForPand a

Olaf, could I interest you for this workpackage?

Johan.

Found the problem, and by-passed.
Please update lhetrack package.
Now I was able to run 1000 psi' events up to PID without a single crash.

I changed locally the default link options in the configure script omitting lSQL, and EvtGen can be linked. I did not test whether it still works with the ROOT version in the july09 external packages.

Bye,
Olaf.

Hi Alicia,
following your suggestion, I tested GEANE running the Kalman fit (macro/stt/rungenfit.C) on 1000 evts from Urqmd (pbar at 1.5 GeV/c annihilating on He4 ) and it ended without crashing: I tested it once taking the pdg code from the MC truth and another time following the more realistic idea that we don' t know which particle we are propagating and we have to run the fit on the 5 particle hypothesis (actually I didn' t do it for all 5 particles, but I chose just one of them, the pion, setting pdg by hand to +/-211, depending on the charge). Both tests ended normally.

Ciao,
Lia.

Dear Lia
thanks a lot
for your efforts.

I have a question, maybe it is too naive
but is geane runnig well using geant4, or one
should use geant3 exclusively to be able to
get geane stable??

thanks again
Alicia.

Geane is independent on what you use in simulation. Therefore, you could use g3 as well as g4, nothing will change in geane results.

Exactly,
you can simulate either with geant3 or with geant4 and then use geane without problems, though geane propagates the particles with geant3-based routines. It just reads the geometry and the magnetic field, but it does not depend on what you used to simulate events.

However, a track follower geane-like, but geant4-based, called geant4e has been released and we are managing to test it with pandaroot (to compare it to geane).

Obviously, if you find any problem in running geane after geant4 please tell us! Smile
Ciao,
Lia.
